Hello list,<br>
<br>
Following the wiki installation walkthrough at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Installation_walkthrough">http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Installation_walkthrough</a> , using
fai version 4.2.1 (problem also existed with 4.0.8~deb7u1) on
wheezy, I've run into an interesting problem: Having set up
everything for pxe boot (dhcp-server, tftp, target machine bios), I
first run<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">fai-chboot -FIv joffrey</blockquote>
<br>
which generates this output:<br>
<blockquote type="cite"><br>
Booting kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae<br>
append initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae ip=dhcp <br>
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt<br>
<br>
joffrey has 192.168.28.3 in hex C0A81C03</blockquote>
<br>
When I boot the target machine after that, it _should_ start fai but
then drop into a root@none prompt. What it instead does is to show
these two messages:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Received 001a Kbyte, sorted 001a Kbyte,
invoked primary bootstrap<br>
<br>
C6e: can't start from RAM disk image</blockquote>
<br>
Now, since fai doesn't actually start, there is no info in the log
files. I did also try to add the option ramdisk_size=262144 to the
"append initrd" line in /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/C0A81C03, sadly
to no effect. Since neither Google nor the wiki or the list archive
have any more info on the matter, I'd like to ask you guys.<br>
<br>
What could be going wrong?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Daniel<br>
