PXE boot problem

Please reproduce your error on a second machine before posting, and check the error by running without saved changes or extra modules (See FAQ No. 13, "How to report a bug"). For unstable Porteus versions (alpha, beta, rc) please use the relevant thread in our "Development" section.

PXE boot problem

Post#2 by bnuf » 27 Jul 2012, 06:48

Hi everyone I tried to run porteus in pxe booting mode many times.However, although I set it up on my laptop and I tried to connect my pc to it via network connection ,I got serious errors while starting on pc. actually, first i set it with usb but every time i shut down the laptop , all changes disappeared. Therefore i give up using usb stick and i set porteus on my C directory of laptop. At that time i have lots of boot file and i dont actually know which one pc tries to find to boot it.when i try to change dhcp settings in pxelinux.cfg file, pc refuses it and doesnt see the changes. here is the my code in start file . if you notice my problem, please help me immediately.

ps. I get errors: Pxe-E53,Pxe-E36,Pxe-E3B

#!/bin/bash
# This script will start a DHCP server and TFTP server in order to provide
# fully functional environment for PXE booting.
#

cd $(dirname $(readlink -f $0))
sleep 20
# find out our own IP address. If more interfaces are available, use the first one
IP=$(ifconfig $(ls -1 /sys/class/net | grep eth | head -n 1 | sed "s|@||g") | grep "inet addr" | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1)

# if no IP is assigned to this computer, setup private address randomly
if [ "$IP" = "" ]; then
killall dhcpcd 2>/dev/null
IP="10."$(($RANDOM/130+1))"."$(($RANDOM/130+1))".1"
ifconfig $(ls -1 /sys/class/net | head -n 1 | sed "s|@||g") $IP netmask 255.0.0.0

i guess these 2 posts above comes from the same person using different accounts?

both were posted in wrong categories/treads so i have merged them up here.

questions:
1) do you run pxe services provided with Porteus or 3rd party ones (like Windows http/tftp servers) ? to make it more clear: do you run porteus on your laptop with 'pxe boot' option or you have just unpacked porteus to some directory on your C drive and pointed Windows services to it?
2) did you add necessary drivers to initrd as per FAQ answer 19?

i have posted a sample video of PXE booting done between 2 virtual sessions in Vbox:
http://youtu.be/a7UfhfCtFEo
this is how it supposed to look like so pls watch it carefully.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

hi again. We're working together with bnuf for summer internship. we've already tried what you said before, we watched the video that you shared with us carefully but nothing changed. Now, i wanna ask something related to our error messages again. We set porteus up to laptop and trying to boot pc via network connection. When we run porteus in our laptop, we get this(1st one) message in syslog file. After starting at pc, we get this(2nd one) message on screen. what can we do?

laptop:

@suslu
more than likely this is the reason:
udhcpc: ioctl 0x8933 failed: no such device
and my question once again:
2) did you add necessary drivers to initrd as per FAQ answer 19?
fortunately, some time ago i have prepared bigger initrd.xz (32bit only) containing all drivers for 'porteus web-kiosk' project.
pls grab it form here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/wdu2ms4vsrfcvrf/initrd.xz
replace original /boot/initrd.xz from 32bit porteus-1.2 and add following cheatcode to both: /boot/porteus.cfg and /boot/pxelinux.cfg/default

Code: Select all

ramdisk_size=3666
this is necessary as new initrd is slightly bigger.

let me know if that helped.

Re: PXE boot problem

@anadolu
your setup looks pretty normal so 32bit edition should work out of the box.
did you try to repeat the installation?
how did you install it: through porteus installer, win_start_here.bat, lin_start_here.sh or by using external bootloader like for example Grub?
do you boot it from Cd, usb, over network?

finally: please post your bootloader config.

@anadolu

i'm sorry but i didn't understand much from your post.
i guess that missing network driver is the problem so please boot porteus normally (from usb/CD) on the PC/laptop which does not boot through PXE and then run 'lspci -k' command which let's you identify network driver used for your card. here is my example:

Code: Select all

44:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1413
	Kernel driver in use: r8169
	Kernel modules: r8169
then please update initrd with this driver as per FAQ instructions.

btw: PXE seems to get more popular (or maybe users base just grows?) so for next release i'll provide all drivers inside initrd by default.
