I’m building a PXE install lab for SUSE and other flavors of Linux.
The DHCP and tftp servers are working. Note: I can fully install Red Hat from this lab but SUSE (SLES9 rc5) shows the following symptoms:
1. a cdrom install on the target system runs to completion in graphics mode. System is an HP PC with SCSI disk. 2. PXE install runs in non X-window mode (text) and fails to load scsi controllers – cannot find any disks. Fails even when modules are manually added.
Here is the content of /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default:
default suse prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 200
label redhat kernel redhat.kernel append initrd=redhat.root ramdisk_size=65536
label suse kernel suse.kernel append initrd=suse.root ramdisk_size=65536\ install=http://10.0.3.11/suse/CD1/
What is suse.root exactly? Btw, To get graphical installer, you need to add vga=791 or something similar. Anas
