Hello. I know the typical setting to run a PXE server is the
combination of DHCP+TFTP+HTTP/FTP/NFS... servers, but my setting only must consist in a DHCP+HTTP server (both in one machine with ip 192.168.1.1). So my dhcpd.conf has these lines: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.10; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; ... filename "http://192.168.1.1/pxelinux.0"; } I use iPXE (http://www.ipxe.org)
-which can get pxelinux.0 from a HTTP server- to boot my clients. They
see a pxelinux menu with an option to run the installer. Its "APPEND"
line is like this: APPEND url=""> ... Everythings seems going well during installation until I get a error
message like "The installer failed to process preconfiguration file from
http://192.168.1.1/pxelinux.0."
I've read in B.2.5 chapter from https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs02.html.en that if dhcpd.conf there is a HTTP url, the installer assumes it is the url of a preseed file. I though that appending the "url" preseed parameter this behaviour would be overriden, but it is not!!!! What can I do to tell the installer to forget using the url from dhcpd.conf as a preseed file's url?????? I'm really desperated. Thanks!!!!
