RE: Dhcp debian install
Hello
I will explain all:
I did the boot like is explained in
http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=818&cid=13384
Mean take the current bf2.4 linux.bin and the image-1.44 also bf2.4
root.bin, copy booth to the
'/tftpboot/' directory and pass to default PXElinux config the two next
lines:
KENEL linux.bin
APPEND initrd=root.bin flavor=bf2.4
And obviously do it all the other thinks, DHPC server, tftpd server.
Next the boot start OK, the stages are:
configure the keyboard
partition a hard disk
initialize and active a swap partition
initialize a Linux partition
mount a previously-initialized partition
unmunt a partition
install kernel and driver modules
And here is the problem because the driver modules are not included in
the root or linux bin. The
drivers are in the server and the network is not onfigured yet, so What
I do now???
I also see your link [1], and I don't undertound how is charged in the
boot process the mini.iso, do
you now ?, I need to know ?? I mean just run it and every think will OK
...
Any way, I will try, thank you
Gustavo

You don't give very much information what exactly the problem is. Any
messages on console during the boot that could help us figure out why it
fails?

Take a look at [1]. This is a complete pxeboot solution for installing
Sarge using the new Debian Installer. Works perfectly for me.
Even if you don't want to install Sarge, it might give you some ideas on
how to set up pxebooting.
There are some instructions in [2] on how to use it (but the server
seems to be down currently).
