Hi all,
Recently I've found that pxelinux, supplied with SLES9 still have
limitation with 255 characters in kernel command line.
So, if you want to append "aytoyast=<URL> install=
" - it's very easy fall out to some strange mode
during installation...
For example, I had "showopts" argument cut at first letter - as result
"s" was added to kernel options... You can imagine result ;)
As I understand, it's problem of pxelinux - it uses old boot protocol,
instead of new one - 2.02 - which have no such limitation.
Is there any workaround?
I've tried to use "Combining linuxrc info file with YaST2 control
file" - but not understand, how it supposed to work.
When I've placed required section to control file, retrieved from CGI
script, and removed "install=" option from kernel command line, it
just not working.
Seems like linuxrc don't know how to get it from HTTP...
So, looks like there are 2 options left - rewrite pxelinux to support
longer kernel command line, or make "info" section of control file
working...
Does anybody have other ideas? Or maybe somebody know, how to make
"info" section in control file working?
Any help will be _very_ appreciated!
