Netboot - Unable to find a live file system on the network



Hopefully this isn’t a repeat, I have had some email issues :(

 

For the last several days I have attempted to get a live netboot image to boot. I continue to get the same results.

 

I use the following command:

 

Lb config –b net –net-root-path “/srv/nfs/lte” –net-root-server “x.x.x.x” –bootappend-live “utc=no timezone=America/Chicago”

Lb build

 

When the image is completed, the required kernel append option in the /tftpboot/live.cfg do not contain any of the server boot information, and the image tries to boot from a removable device.

 

When I configure the live.cfg correctly using:

                append initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live config utc=no timezone=America/Chicago netboot=nfs nfsroot=x.x.x.x:/srv/nfs/lte

 

I get the system to attempt to boot, but it fails repeating this message:

Connect: Network unreachable

NFS over TCP is not available from 10.1.3.216

 

/run does not contain a net-eth0.conf file

 

Running ipconfig eth0 does create one and from there I can ping and mount my nfs store with my live image in place.

 

When I type exit at the initramfs prompt the system kernel panics and

 

It seems like the live-boot is confused between what is expected either /live or /live/image

 

Can someone point me to the direction of my failure?

 

 

Building system Wheezy

Live-build 3.0~a51-1

 

I have these packages in my packages.chroot:

Live-boot_3.0~a35-1_all.deb

Live-boot-initramfs-tools_3.0~a35-1_all.deb

 

LiveCDs boot perfectly, netboots and extracted liveCDs do not.
