The system tries boot but it has a kernel panic saying "Failed to find MBR identifier". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a PXE Server and add this entry on file /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default : LABEL 2 MENU LABEL ^2. openSUSE 13.1 Live x64 LINUX imagenes/openSUSE-Live/linux INITRD imagenes/openSUSE-Live/initrd APPEND install=nfs://192.168.1.200/mnt/openSUSE-Live/ splash=verbose ramdisk_size=512000 ramdisk_blocksize=4096 liveinstall nombridcheck showopts root=/dev/ram0 load_ramdisk=1 init=linuxrc barriers=off TEXT HELP Launch openSUSE on Live mode ENDTEXT 2. Export the entire iso over NFS adding this options udf,iso9660 user,auto,loop 0 0 Finally, restart the NFS service. 3. Try to boot over PXE and boot the live system. Crash. Actual Results: The boot has a kernel panic saying "Failed to find MBR identifier". "rebootException: reboot in 120 sec..." Expected Results: The live system should boot fine. This is my entry on file /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default : LABEL 2 MENU LABEL ^2. openSUSE 13.1 Live x64 LINUX imagenes/openSUSE-Live/linux INITRD imagenes/openSUSE-Live/initrd APPEND install=nfs://192.168.1.200/mnt/openSUSE-Live/ splash=verbose ramdisk_size=512000 ramdisk_blocksize=4096 liveinstall nombridcheck showopts root=/dev/ram0 load_ramdisk=1 init=linuxrc barriers=off TEXT HELP Launch openSUSE on Live mode ENDTEXT The boot parameter "nombridcheck" doesn't work :( The directory /mnt/openSUSE-Live/ contains the entire iso mounted as loop and exported over NFS. This is the entry on my /etc/fstab: /path/to/my/isos/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso /mnt/openSUSE-Live/ udf,iso9660 user,auto,loop 0 0 This entry for installing openSUSE 13.1 works fine: LABEL 1 MENU LABEL ^1. openSUSE 13.1 x64 LINUX imagenes/openSUSE-DVD-x86_64/linux INITRD imagenes/openSUSE-DVD-x86_64/initrd APPEND install=nfs://192.168.1.200/mnt/openSUSE-DVD-x86_64/ splash=silent ramdisk_size=512000 ramdisk_blocksize=4096 language=es_ES keytable=es quiet quiet showopts TEXT HELP Install openSUSE 13.1 64 bits ENDTEXT I'm checking the service on a Virtualbox environment and also with real computers, same result. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
