imgfetch stuck mid-download
Hi,
I'm a netboot rookie and I'm using iPXE version "aa4b0", in BIOS mode generally ipxe.pxe (more on that later). First, I've wanted two things to work: Memtest86 and WinPE(10) with EFI and BIOS mode. EFI mode is working OK, both stuff. (Memtest86 version is Memtest86 7.0.0 Beta 1 -- I cannot get it to use supplied mt86.cfg, but I think it's a Memtest86 bug). Now the BIOS mode. I want to use Memtest86 4.3.7 (NOT Memtest86+ 5.0.1). If I just chainload it from iPXE, it fails with known error 460381. Going the longer way (iPXE -> pxelinux 6.03 -> memtest) it's working: set filename lpxelinux.0 set next-server 192.168.x.y # same server set root-path http://<local http server address>/ chain ${root-path}${filename} Done. Going for WinPE by the book (latest wimboot), so there are a couple of imgfetch calls. Sometimes it works, but more often it gets stuck in the middle of a download (sometimes it happens in the middle of a font file, other times it's the .wim file). It's not frozen, it's just not advancing. (I could try a timeout loop per file, but it's a working LAN environment, it should work hassle-free.) I've switched back to undionly.kpxe. It boots 3 out of 3 times successfully, no hiccups. Unfortunately, now the previously working memtest part fails: Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument The BIOS PC is equipped with a onboard rtl8168 (LAN ROM 2.59). So, I would go with ipxe.pxe instead of undionly.kpxe, but than I don't know why imgfetch is not working ALL the time. Any ideas? What other info would help? |
