ipxe and mboot.c32

[betabox]

I have a problem in my xenserver installation procedure.

I want to boot with ipxe and this script:

Code:

#!ipxe
set next-server 192.168.0.1
mgfetch tftp://192.168.0.1/xen6/boot/mboot.c32
imgfetch tftp://192.168.0.1/xen6/boot/xen.gz
imgfetch tftp://192.168.0.1/xen6/boot/vmlinuz
imgfetch tftp://192.168.0.1/xen6/boot/install.img
imgargs mboot.c32 xen.gz dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0_mem=752M com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga --- vmlinuz xencons=hvc console=hv0 console=tty0 answerfile=http://192.168.0.1/ks/ks/sys/00215E563F0C/answer-aisxendeploy01.xml install --- install.img
boot mboot.c32

All imgfetch work, and the files transfer successful.

Than the mboot.c32 image boots and want to load xen.gz

"Loading xen.gz ..."

Now it stays here .... stops.

I look into the source of mboot.c and find, that it want to unpack the .gz file - but where it want to get it ? It doesn´t find it or what can happen ?

With imgstat I can list all imgs and parameter I set = looks all correct.

I try also with

imgargs mboot.c32 tftp://192.168.0.1/xen6/boot/xen.gz ...

or

imgargs mboot.c32 http://192.168.0.1/ks/xen6/boot/xen.gz ...

and no imgfetch ... but nothing - always the same point it stops.

Maybe I have misunderstand something and I cannot boot like this with ipxe.

Wie pxelinux the install is like this:

Code:

kernel mboot.c32
   append path/to/boot/directory/xen.gz watchdog com1=115200,8n1 \
      console=com1,tty --- path/to/boot/directory/vmlinuz \
      root=/dev/ram0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 \
      ramdisk_size=32758 \
      answerfile=http://pxehost.acme.com/XenServer_4.0.1-answerfile \
      install --- path/to/boot/directory/install.img

The question now is - where is the image I download with imgfetch ?

Or how can I handle this.

Thanks for reading until here :-)
