Porteus kiosk 5.0.0 & r8169 realtek.ko problem [Solved]

[oscar.cervesato]

Hello to all,

Porteus kiosk version 5 was release with kernel version 5.4.23, but I can't boot via PXE because module r8169 seems not included in the kernel.
Here an extract from the boot log on console:

Code: Select all

[] r8169 0000:01:00.. realtek.ko not loaded, maybe it needs to be added to intramfs?
[] r8169: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -2

Any idea?

Tnks

Oscar,

1) Are you able to PXE boot this PC using 4.9.0 release?

2) I have added realtek.ko to the initrdpxe.xz so please check if that helps:

Thanks

Hello,

1) yes, I'm able to PXE boot using 4.9.0

2) I have updated the initrdpxe.xz file on tftp server, but it still not working:

Code: Select all

[] r8169 0000:01:00.. realtek.ko not loaded, maybe it needs to be added to intramfs?
[] r8169: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -2

I'm using a DELL Wyse 3040 (it's a thin client), and booting with version 4.9.0 I can see this hw:

Oscar,

This issue should be fixed now.
Please download kiosk 5.0.0 again and recreate your PXE setup from scratch (changes were made to the kernel config, initrd.xz and initrdpxe.xz components).

Thanks

YESSS, it works!

Thank you so much!
