| 15:17.34 | Dettorer | hi everyone, I thought there would be more people here =D |
| 15:23.52 | Norky | it is rather quiet |
| 15:24.06 | Norky | you are the first I've seen here in a week or so |
| 15:25.48 | Dettorer | ok, is the chan not much popular or there is this few pxe users ? |
| 15:32.09 | Dettorer | anyway, I'm having troubles booting a linux kernel, when it comes to the eth0 setup, it fails with "SIOCSIFNETMASK: Invalid argument", maybe it isn't related with pxe but can someone help ? |
| 15:33.03 | Dettorer | ho, and this is an archlinux initramfs, I'm planning to continue booting with nfs but I'm stuck here |
| 15:38.57 | Norky | pxe is quite small, so there's not mcuh to say about it :) |
| 15:39.11 | Norky | nad your problem looks unrleated to PXE |
| 15:39.23 | Norky | you've got the kernel over the network, so that means PXe is working |
| 15:40.15 | Norky | that error says you've got an invalid netmask |
| 15:40.25 | Norky | what netmask are you using? |
| 15:40.32 | Norky | with what IP address? |
| 15:40.38 | Dettorer | yeah that's what I thought, I'm just seeking some help with this (sorry for the off topic question ^^') |
| 15:41.24 | Dettorer | I have a dhcp server with subnet 192.168.0.0, netmask 255.255.255.0 |
| 15:42.39 | Dettorer | I think the real problem is, I don't know witch netmask this error is about, where is this invalid netwask ? |
| 15:43.36 | Dettorer | my server is 192.168.0.0 and when I'm given a rootfs shell, the client has 192.168.0.14 |
| 15:45.47 | Norky | if you have a shell, try dhclient eth0 |
| 15:45.55 | Norky | or dhcpcd |
| 15:46.25 | Norky | not that I know what is available in Arch Linux's initramfs |
| 15:46.45 | Dettorer | none of these :) |
| 15:46.56 | Norky | you could also try running wireshark or tcpdump on the DHCP server to see what it's sending out |
| 15:47.08 | Norky | but this way OT :) |
| 15:47.17 | Norky | I can only suggest the arch linux channel |
| 15:47.50 | Dettorer | yes thank you :) |
| 15:48.35 | Norky | one thing that might help is having the kernel inherit the IP details from the PXE stuck, I think the IPAPPEND option is what you want |
| 15:48.45 | Norky | s/stuck/stack/ |
| 15:48.57 | Norky | pats infobot |
| 15:49.11 | Dettorer | (interesting bot) |
| 15:54.31 | Dettorer | with IPAPPEND, I end up with no IP adress, but maybe it's a bad configuration of the initramfs, I'm googling this |
| 15:56.47 | Dettorer | oh, same point with "IPAPPEND 3" |
| 15:57.08 | Dettorer | do you think it could be a bad configuration of my dhcp server ? |
| 15:57.38 | Norky | make absolutely sure it is giving out eh netmask you think it is |
| 15:57.47 | Norky | beyond that, I dont' know |
| 15:58.17 | Dettorer | ok, thanks again :) |

| 17:08.50 | Dettorer | it works ! |
| 17:09.12 | Dettorer | turns out, giving the IP "192.168.0.0" to the server wasn't a good idea |
| 17:14.46 | Dettorer | I remember the first time I displayed a simple message with ipxe on a diskless machine, I had rainbows in my eyes, seeing that working archlinux on another diskless machine is nearly as moving, I love pxe |
