Hi everyone, I've got a PXE server set up on my server at home so that I can easily access my diagnostic utilities (memtest86, seatools, etc.) and wanted to try to get a SuSE live CD set up for PXE boot as well. I'm able to boot the installer DVD's fine, but whenever I try to serve up a live CD, it'll boot fine, but partway through it gets a kernel panic with the error "Failed to find MBR identifier!" I've tried several different versions (11.4, 12.2, 12.3, all 32-bit) of the LiveCD's, with the same result. I even tried building a KDE Live image on SuSE Studio, and that didn't work either. Googling the problem doesn't turn up anything specifically for PXE, but there are a lot of posts about having this issue when "burning" the live ISO to a USB stick. However, I didn't see any posts that had a solution. The one thing I found that looked promising was to add the flag "nombridcheck" to the kernel options, but this didn't have any affect. Has anyone got this to work successfully, or know what I could try to make it happy?

Hi, have you found any solution? I'm stuck at the same point, and I can't boot Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 either :-( Frustrating! Did you report it on bugzilla? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Sorry, haven't come up with a solution :/ So far I haven't had enough time to do enough troubleshooting to come up with a good Bugzilla report either. Hopefully will have some time eventually to sit down with this and hammer out what's going on, but in the meantime, I've just been living with not being able to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
