generating netboot images
Fellow debian-live users,
For the past few months I have only been able to generate working
netboot images using an old live-helper version. Whenever I try to use
the newer git-versions, all generated netboot images result in a
white/gray “circle” on the machines that attempt the actual PXE boot
(i can send a jpeg of it).
I use a debian Lenny virtual machine to generate my netboot images, I
have been experiencing this problem with Etch hosts as well. The
problem occurs on both Vmware and Virtualbox machines and I have
reproduced it on "normal" machines as well. There is no error during
the build-process that I am aware of.
I get my working netboot-images using 1.0.1-4 .
I am using this very basic lh_config string:
lh_config -b net -d lenny --net-root-server 192.168.1.5
--bootappend-live “locale=nl_NL.UTF-8” --syslinux-timeout 25
the output of which i can email, as well as a pjeg from the resulting
"white circle".
Am I doing something wrong / have I been sloppy in reading this mailing list?
Greetz,
FuX
