Since you managed to get pxe working how did you setup this environment not
even knowing what the root-fs and initrd are?
Take a look into your tftpboot directory.
You should have moved some files there to get pxe booting working.
Theres also a file called "default", you should have modified this one.
Did you?

Subject: Re: [Unattended] PXE Boot problems - eth0 not found
seems like the network card is not recognized by the drivers on the
bootdisk. The reason you cajn boot via the network etc is that it works
differently, by using the on the NIC built-in PXE-stack.. which is obviously
compatible with the nic in question. But after it starts loading the
bootdisk, you need the correct drivers, which u seem to lack

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:
HYPERLINK
"http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00521.
html"
\nhttp://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 (HYPERLINK
"http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06315.
html"
\nhttp://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06315
.html ) that suggests an new boot-cd from here will help. HYPERLINK
"http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page";
\nhttp://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
HYPERLINK "http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.php#8_2";
\nhttp://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
