Dear all,
I am trying to set up a PXE server using debian Jessie and
di-netboot-assistant.
The standard installation of jessie from the PXE server works
fine.
As an addition I would like to offer a debian live system on my
PXE server.
What I accomplished so far:
Downloaded live image debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso
to my home.
Mounted the ISO to
/home/flori/debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso
/var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive iso9660 ro,loop 0 0
The content of /var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive looks like this
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 133 Sep 8 23:02 autorun.inf
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Sep 8 22:51 debian -> .
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 22:51 dists
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 180335 Sep 8 23:02 g2ldr
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Sep 8 23:02 g2ldr.mbr
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 23:02 install
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 23:02 isolinux
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 23:02 live
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 28165 Sep 8 23:02 md5sum.txt
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 22:51 pool
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 368480 Sep 8 23:02 setup.exe
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 23:02 tools
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 228 Sep 8 23:02 win32-loader.ini
I modified
/var/lib/tftpboot/debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL Debian LiveCD
MENU DEFAULT
KERNEL ::/debianlive/live/vmlinuz
APPEND root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs
nfsroot=192.168.7.1:/var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive/live/
initrd=::/debianlive/live/initrd.img
When I start any computer with PXE, the kernel is booting fine,
but for some reason the file system is not working.
Where is the mistake?
Can anybody point out a description on how to set up a debian
live system via a PXE server?
Thanks a lot
Flori
