Re: Re: [suse-autoinstall] Re: How to set up PXE server?
Hello! Im trying to follow the PXE HOW-TO for installing SuSE 9.2 on my brand new IBM Thinkpad X40. I have set up the tftp-server, copied pxegrub to the tftpboot directory, added the suggested lines to the dhcp server configuration (Im pretty sure the bootp client gets an ID, dhcp server allows IPs 192.168.0.200-204), copied the kernel and the initrd to to the tftp directory and created the sample menu.lst in the tftp boot directory. The first suggested change of the menu.lst is not done yet, since I havent found out the module name of the network card yet, but I still think that the actions above would present me with a grub bootloader screen on my X40 when booting over LAN. As connection between my X40 and my server I use a cross-connected TP cable. Now to the problem. When I boot my X40 over LAN I get the following messages: _____messages_start___________________________________________ Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.2.17 Copyright (C) 1997-2003, Intel Corporation Intel(R) Boot Agent PXE Base Code (BA1217BC) Copyright (C) 1997-2003, Intel Corporation CLIENT MAC ADDR: <macaddr> GUID: <guid> CLIENT IP: 192.168.0.203 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 192.168.0.2 GATEWAY IP: 192.168.0.2 Probing...[RTL8139] - The PCI BIOS has not enabled this service!

Can anyone please help me figure out what is wrong and why I dont get the menu screen? What is the client probing for, and what is RTL8139? I cannot find anything about it in the BIOS, so haw do I enable it? Any help at all would be greatfully appreciated! Sincerely, Magnus Gedda

The above is PXE loading GRUB. The below comes from GRUB.

The message looks very similar to the one I get when using network-enabled GRUB on a PC that has a network card that GRUB does not have a driver for. RTL8139 is a chipset used in some network cards. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: mvidner@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel:+420-296542373 190 00 Praha 9, Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
