Description of problem: The pxe boot doesnt work because the tftpboot folder contains symlink to the actual pxelinux.0 from syslinux package. If the symlink is replaced with a copy of the source pxelinux.0, it works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: remove all from tftpboot and then run cobbler sync Actual results: pxe boot fails cause the pxelinux.0 is a symlink and is not downloaded Expected results: to boot Additional info:
What OS and OS version are these? Does the cobbler sync pass? Is that possibly an SELinux issue? Is there anything interesting in /var/log/audit/audit.log?
CentOS 6.4 x86_64 Everything works except that when there is symlinked the pxe writes that the file not found on pxe boot
As a workaround, you can create a simple cobbler trigger script like: cat /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/sync/post/fixbz1035677.sh #!/bin/sh rm -f /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 rm -f /var/lib/tftpboot/menu.c32 cp /usr/share/syslinux/menu.c32 /var/lib/tftpboot/menu.c32 cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 Noticed I've added menu.c32 because it fails to me too.
