I'm adding a hight estimate since its an unknown architecture and may take a while to debug. this is going to take longer since we have mutliple platforms to deal with.. Here is an example .treeinfo contents (minus platforms = , I've requested that field be populated) [general] name = Fedora-17 family = Fedora timestamp = 1342397915.44 variant = version = 17 packagedir = arch = armhfp platforms = highbank,imx,tegra,omap,mvebu [images-highbank-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd-highbank kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-highbank initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-highbank.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage-highbank [images-imx-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd-imx kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-imx initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-imx.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage-imx [images-tegra-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd-tegra kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-tegra initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-tegra.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage-tegra [stage2] mainimage = LiveOS/squashfs.img [images-omap-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd-omap kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-omap initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-omap.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage-omap [images-mvebu-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd-mvebu kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-mvebu initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-mvebu.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage-mvebu [images-armhfp] uinitrd = images/pxeboot/uInitrd kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd.img uimage = images/pxeboot/uImage Currently only highbank and mvebu will netboot. I believe we will need to expand the System record to include platform. Kernel images will also need to support platform so we can record the location of all these images. Finally that platform information will need to be made available to provision so it can create the pxe file with the correct kernel+ramdisk images. Beaker 0.9.3 has been released. |
Requesting support for Arm netboot installs. Arm requests the following files via tftpboot for a net install. It will stop at the first one that suceeds. U-Boot 2011.12 (Jun 29 2012 - 14:20:37) Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/01-fc-2f-40-86-8b-2c Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0F04D7 Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0F04D Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0F04 Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0F0 Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0F Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A0 Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0A Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/0 Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/default The config file format is similar to x86. default Highbank-Install prompt 1 timeout 10 label Highbank-Install kernel f17-highbank/vmlinuz-highbank initrd f17-highbank/initrd-highbank.img append console=ttyAMA0 ip=eth0:dhcp ks=http://example.com/es/tftpboot/f17-highbank/highbank.ks rd.shell cmdline In fact this may be as simple as adding the arch arm to the x86 routine.
