Hi,
Just downloaded the "systemrescuecd-x86-4.5.2". I then mounted it, created a bootable USB stick. I then copied the source to it. I also copied the source to my PXE server. However, all though the program works brilliantly when booting it from USB, I cannot get it to load completely via the PXE method - basically via PXE boot, I do not see the selection menu.
I hope somebody with more experience can shed some light on this matter, as Linux is not one of my strong points.
The following is my PXE servers config:
LABEL rescue32_3
MENU LABEL ^System Rescue CD 32 bit
KERNEL sysresccd/isolinux/rescue32
APPEND initrd=/sysresccd/isolinux/initram.igz,/sysresccd/sysrcd.dat
Using the above config, PXE Linux appears to find and load the following on the client:
Loading sysresccd/isolinux/rescue32... ok
Loading sysresccd/isolinux/initram.igz... ok
Loading sysresccd/sysrcd.dat... ok
The first sign of the issue during PXE boot is when the program starts to load from RAM on the client:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Searching for /sysrcd.dat on devices...
Attempting to mount device: /dev/sda...
Various other attempts to mount volumes and then:
!Cannot find device with /sysrcd.dat. Retrying...
This issue then propagates for other volumes and then displays:
!Cannot find device with /sysrcd.dat on devices.
Running a mini shell (cannot complete the boot process)
bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
Any help would be very much appreciated, as it would be a shame not to be able to use this fantastic resource via PXE.
Kind regards,
