| 06:54.34 | jboss | hi |
| 06:59.10 | jboss | i am tring to install ubuntu using pxe net booting.i did it for ubuntu 5.1 distro but it is not getting over in 7* distro.As in the higher versions there is no netboot option is available inside install dir in installation cd.netboot.tar.gz pkg helps me to boot over network but during installation it is not taking my local repo path(mounted install cd /iso) |
| 07:00.02 | jboss | ~logs |
| 07:00.02 | jbot | i guess logs is apt/ibot/infobot/jbot/purl all log daily to http://ibot.rikers.org/<channelname>/ where channelname is html encoded ie: %23debian | lines that start with a space are not shown | some channels have stats at http://ibot.rikers.org/stats/<channelname>.html.gz |
| 07:06.35 | ScytheBlade1 | jboss, I just recently PXE installed ubuntu |
| 07:06.40 | ScytheBlade1 | Within a week |
| 07:07.20 | ScytheBlade1 | On the ubuntu ISO, check out install/netboot/* |
| 07:07.41 | jboss | Which distro u installed..i found probs in ubuntu 7.04 distro |
| 07:08.12 | ScytheBlade1 | 7.04 |
| 07:08.28 | jboss | it is missing in ubuntu higher version..am i correct |
| 07:08.37 | ScytheBlade1 | Again, look at the files in install/netboot/* on the Ubuntu 7.04 ISO |
| 07:08.44 | ScytheBlade1 | Is there a higher version of Ubuntu out? |
| 07:09.15 | ScytheBlade1 | I see 7.04 as the latest version of Ubuntu released |
| 07:10.05 | jboss | ok..but i downloaded the ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386 iso..and it is miossing the netboot options |
| 07:10.29 | ScytheBlade1 | It is not, I have the same ISO |
| 07:10.30 | ScytheBlade1 | ubuntu-7.04-dvd-i386.iso |
| 07:10.45 | jboss | woh i see |
| 07:10.46 | ScytheBlade1 | That is the desktop version, as a DVD |
| 07:11.06 | jboss | yah..but it is missing in cd versions |
| 07:11.41 | ScytheBlade1 | Grab the DVD version then :) |
| 07:11.49 | jboss | isn't it possible to do it in cd version? |
| 07:12.17 | jboss | using netboot.tar.gz pkg |
| 07:12.20 | ScytheBlade1 | It is possible |
| 07:12.26 | ScytheBlade1 | I've never used the netboot.tar.gz pkg |
| 07:12.47 | jboss | then what pkg have to use? |
| 07:13.02 | ScytheBlade1 | I don't use packages to do it |
| 07:13.13 | jboss | or how i will get get pxelinux.0 file? |
| 07:13.16 | ScytheBlade1 | I used the file provided on the DVD, along with the information contained in the wiki linked in the topic |
| 07:13.43 | ScytheBlade1 | pxelinux.0 is available nearly everywhere; download syslinux and you'll find pxelinux.0 inside it, pre-compiled and ready to go |
| 07:14.47 | jboss | well,i got it.but it failing when i am giving my local server path where i have mounted the iso |
| 07:15.29 | ScytheBlade1 | I'll need more information |
| 07:15.32 | ScytheBlade1 | Where is it failing? |
| 07:16.36 | jboss | during installation when it is asking for mirror selection i am choosing "enter manually" then i am giving my local server path |
| 07:16.50 | ScytheBlade1 | HTTP? |
| 07:17.09 | jboss | it was working fine with ubuntu 5.1 which was having netboot option under install dir. |
| 07:17.17 | jboss | yah. http |
| 07:18.02 | ScytheBlade1 | If I extracted the ISO to http://server/ubuntu/7.04, and inside /ubuntu/7.04 I had files md5sum.txt, autorun.inf, etc |
| 07:18.08 | jboss | something like www.boss.lan:80 where www.boss.lan is the hostname of my server |
| 07:18.10 | ScytheBlade1 | I would point the installer at http://server/ubuntu/7.04 |
| 07:20.04 | jboss | i mounted my iso under tftpboot(/var/lib/tftpboot) dir.and made a symlink from /var/www (apache's root dir) to tftpboot dir |
| 07:21.10 | jboss | so ,i think it's same what you did |
| 07:24.29 | jboss | i think the problem is coming because installer is running from tftp boot dir which is not a part of mounted cd ..that's why it's not taking the mounted iso path |
| 07:25.23 | jboss | but at the same time it is taking the official ubuntu mirrors |
| 07:27.58 | jboss | r u there? |
| 07:28.38 | ScytheBlade1 | Yes |
| 07:28.53 | ScytheBlade1 | What is the error that you are having exactly? |
| 07:31.50 | jboss | "The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available,or doesnot have a valid Release file on it.Please try a different mirror." |
| 07:33.16 | jboss | that's it |
| 07:34.31 | jboss | whatif some distro is missing netbbot option under its install dir then is not it possible do network installation with it/ |
| 07:35.26 | ScytheBlade1 | You should ask for help in #ubuntu from here |
| 07:35.36 | ScytheBlade1 | If you got to the select mirror screen, PXE is working correctly |
| 07:36.39 | jboss | yah..PXE is working corrctly.. |
