Hello,
I try to install a new machine via PXE. We did this many times before, but now we've got new hardware and it doesn't work anymore. But I don't know why....
The new hardware has a MSI MPG B550 mainboard, network chipset needs a r8169 driver. The machine boots fine (as allways) but after loading the initrd it stops with a "can't mount root fs" and a kernel panic.
The config for the pxelinux looks like:
label 15.4 kernel 15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/linux append initrd=15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd ramdisk_size=65536 splash=silent showopts BrokenModules=+gma500_gfx install=nfs://10.3.1.2/tftpboot/15.4
Also tried it with "insmod=r8169", but it doesn't help.
Something's not right with that driver. The spec for that mainboard says it is RTL8111H - however, my laptop here also has rtl8111/8168/8411 and it does work with the r8169 driver.
Any Idea what's going on here? How can I get more infos? When the kernel panics, I can't go backwards to inspect the log...
