From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0 Description of problem: I'm using pxelinux from syslinux-1.75 to do network installs. It worked fine for the old limbo, and for 7.2/3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.setup dhcp, and tftp to load pxelinux.0 (I can send my config files if need be.) 2.Copy vlminuz, and initrd from images/pxe/ to /tftpboot 3.Setup pxelinux config file # Redhat Limbo beta label limbo kernel /vmlinuz.8.0 append initrd=initrd.img.8.0 lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 4.Attempt to start limbo installer Actual Results: Kernel appears to load, but after a few ".." it hangs. The system pxe installed the 1st beta fine. It pxeboots dos, linux, 7.2, and 7.3 installers just fine.

A work around seem to be to use memdisk: dd if=/dev/zero of=23040 count=23040 mkdosfs 23040 mount -o loop /limbo/images/bootnet.img m1/ mount -o loop 23040 m2 cp -a m1/* m2 cp /limbo/images/pxeboot/initrd-everything.img m2/initrd.img umount m1 m2 syslinux -s 23040 # Redhat Limbo beta label limbo kernel memdisk append initrd=23040 #kernel /vmlinuz.8.0 #append initrd=initrd.img.8.0 lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216
I'm not sure it's clear from my last. I'm using memdisk in pxelinux.
We ship PXE, not PXELinux. Please contact the author.
Actually you do ship pxelinux. [root@flory sflory]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 syslinux-1.72-1 The pxe package you guys ship is very complex to setup, and lacks the feature set of pxelinux. Then again I'm okay with the memdisk work around.
Eek, you are correct, sorry about that.
This works in null.
