Kernel panic window
It seems like while booting via PXE, it still expects to find the required files on the CD.
per Arthur, "at the moment liveCD is only via CD/USB" Given that, this is not a 0day/blocker bug. Separate from that, I've not seen this pxe config before. For livecd images, it's generally recommended that you do # livecd-iso-to-pxeboot <livecd> This generates a tftpboot directory which contains: vmlinuz0 -- kernel for pxeboot initrd.img -- initrd for pxeboot pxelinux.cfg/default -- sample pxe config for booting the live image. Can you test with this method? Assuming it works, we can move this to a doc bug and handle it that way. The method suggested in comment #4 appear to be working. The system is UP. Thanks. Note: the method suggested in comment #4 causes the boot process to bypass the grub menu. This hides the option to install to disk from the boot menu. the pxe menu replaces the grub menu. In documentation, we can cover this issue. All the install to disk option does is add the "liveinst" commandline paramater. In documentation, we should add: Where do we get livecd-tools (for the livecd-iso-to-disk script) process for generating bootable pxe images from the livecd instructions for changing this to install to disk |
Rubygem-Staypuft: booting the liveCD via PXE - get kernel panic. Environment: rhelosp-installer-live-6.5-20140820.1.iso Steps to reproduce: 1. Add the following stanze to the PXE and make sure to download the image to the respective directory (tftproot/images): LABEL RHEL-OSP LiveCD LINUX /memdisk append iso initrd /images/rhelosp-installer-live-6.5-20140820.1.iso Result: Was able to get the boot menu from the liveCD, but after selecting the 'boot' option - I get kernel panic. Expected result: The boot should complete with no errors.
