Hi Eric,
I'm new to unattended also but have a partially working setup using PXE.
Next steps that you may need are:
1. edit pxelinux.cfg/default to specify the correct z path (you may already
of done this)
e.g something like append
initrd=ua-0.5.rootz_path=\\192.168.128.75\install z_user=guest z_pass=
2. On boot - you should see something like
* Trying to mount via cifs
3. It will then try to execute /z/bin/init.sh (so you may get a "not found"
error if it doesn't find the unattended-gui distribution files on the z
mount) You should have a directory structure under z that looks something
like:
/z/
+---bin
+---etc
+---os
You can get the distribution from SVN (
https://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unattended-gui)
- The init.sh script calls /z/etc/init/profiles/unattended/01install
- line 23 of this script call hda=`find-boot-device` || die "***
find-boot-device failed"
But...
This is where my install stops -
The find-boot device script is looking for a file hostbus in
/sys/firmware/edd/init13_dev80
But this doesn;t seem to exist
Hope this helps a bit...
I'm going to post a question about the find-boot-device error.
Regards
Paul
