Hi
This maybe a bit of a newbie question, but I am having much trouble getting
Unattended working.
I have setup a DHCP and TFTP server as per this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00521.html
(tried with both tftfd32 and DHCP Turbo)
The target machine performs a network boot ok, gets an IP address from my
DHCP server, downloads pxelinux.0 then when loading pxelinux, finally ends
with the messages:
...lets try DHCP...
*** eth0 not found
*** eth1 not found
*** eth2 not found
Failed to obtain DHCP lease
*** dropping to shell
Currently the root of my tftp server points the unattended/bootdisk/tftpboot
- which contains the files pxelinux.0, initrd, bxImage and pxelinux.cfg
/default
There is a post that suggests (
http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06315.html)
that suggests an new boot-cd from here will help.
http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page
But I'm lost as what I should do with the boot-cd files ua-0.5.kernel,
ua-0.5.root - or how these relate to what is currently in tftpboot
Strangely, I get very similar behaviour when I try things booting from USB -
using these instructions
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.php#8_2
Some error: eth0 not found ... etc. So since the USB boot disk also uses
syslinux - is this the same issue??
Maybe - I force it to use a particular IP, and to map the Z drive to a
particluar IP??
Really appreciate any help. BTW the target machine is a dell D420 (has no CD
to boot from)
Thanks
Paul
