PXE boot / NFS
Hi,
I'm crawling slowly to success on booting my linux system (Montavista 4.0.1) to the target hardware. I've managed now to get a ip address on the target via dhcp server on the hostside: 192.168.0.5. I have managed to load the kernel (i think): Code:
Intel(R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.18 Code:
Mar 4 11:45:14 AccServer kernel: e1000: eth1: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Down Thanks again. I don't know how I would survive without this site. Always appreciated. Indy |
Sorry.
I solved it. It DOESN'T hang. I have the target connected to the serial port and didn't realise that I had to add the kernel parameter console=ttyS0,xxxx to see what actually is going on. Indy |
Wow, thats quite a catch, how did you manage to figure out you needed that kernel parameter, just curious.

Well, I was googling about it and I saw the console parameter option somewhere. So I thought maybe that's just it. I don't get the boot information. So I pinged the machine and and actually got response. That made me realise that the machine IS up and running, I must be just lacking the information. I also then raised the question to myself: how does the boot procedure know where to send the actual data for the view To tty or ttyS or whatever? What is default?
And voila. a bit of more googling about console parameter and tesing I got it working. Indy |
