iPXE discussion forum

I'm setting up a boot server and have run into a problem using iPXE.

It appears that I'm loading the kernel and initrd ok but when I go to boot, the system can't find the RAM disk.

If I use the same settings with pxelinux.0 everything loads fine with a clonezilla and CentOS netinstall.

Right now, I'm setup to load the kernel and initrd and then go to the shell. I can do an imgstat and everything looks like it's there but after issuing a boot command, I get a kernel panic when it can't load the initrd. I'm booting a virtualbox VM with the Intel PRO/1000 nic.

I thought it might be a bzimage issue but I built with bz image support.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Does anything else show up in the list as reported by "imgstat"? (If you have other images present which are not valid initramfs/initrd images then this will confuse the kernel.)
