How to PXE boot via NFS

[trigger1154]

So I've tried just about everything. I can get the initrd to boot, however it can't find the squashfs file. If I input network commands it can't get an IP though DHCP, says "Bad Address". I assume I need to edit the create script for the initramfs but not sure what part. It is set to include network in the config file. I even installed libnfs-utils on the mint os I'm using.

Anyone know how to make this work?

Well nfs is not supported, it can only boot from http, even if you manage to setup ip address properly Tomas M Dne po 15. 1. 2024 16:50 uživatel trigger1154 ***@***.***> napsal:

Hey,Thank you for the timely response. Can you think of any reason why when I had it set up as HTTP that the DHCP still gave me the same error? It seems to not like using IP=DHCP command.On Jan 15, 2024 14:46, Tomas Matejicek ***@***.***> wrote: Well nfs is not supported, it can only boot from http, even if you manage to setup ip address properly Tomas M Dne po 15. 1. 2024 16:50 uživatel trigger1154 ***@***.***> napsal:

I do not know how is your pxe or dhcp server set up, and I do not remember what is going on in livekit anymore, but you can maybe get some inspiration from pxe server script here: https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live/blob/master/Slax/debian12/rootcopy/usr/bin/pxe Tomas M Dne po 15. 1. 2024 21:57 uživatel trigger1154 ***@***.***> napsal:
