Pxe But Gpxe Extensions Not Detected

When chainloading gPXE from PXE, gPXE can use this API (instead of loading an hardware driver). This way, you're getting support for network controllers that are not natively supported by gPXE. Some network controllers have improved performance when using the UNDI driver over the vendor specific gPXE driver (forcedeth for example).

Gpxe is a step above the orginal etherboot format. This is instructable if for advanced computer administration users. If you want to try this please get a trained linux administrator to help you. Traditionally if you wanted to do diskless booting, you would have to set up a tftp server and modify your dhcp server to deal with diskless booting.

The could be a real hassle. With gpxe all you have to have is the normal dhcp server and a web server. Now you can virtually boot a machine without an operating system anywhere in the world if you web server was accessible. This is great for doing operating system installs or using virtual live cd's. Another advantage of this is that you can still use a machine that is either diskless and or has a dead drive. An excellent way to keep downtime at a minimum.

Note: if you have a gpxe compatible network interface card or a machine with a built in nic that supports gpxe, you can boot diskless to a web server. Update: Ipxe has now replaced gpxe.

You will want to upload the disk image you want to use for your remove boot. Usually a boot image for an install is what we use. You can get these files from your linux distro's server. You may have to modify you menu.cfg depending on the version of linux. Mine is set up for two different boot images. Menu.cfg allows you to choose at boot time which image to use.

You will need a boot device to boot strap you client to a server that will download the code to your client. This can be found at: Since cdroms are still fairly used, you want to get probably the iso version.

There is a usb version also. Choose current with all drivers. Then you want to click on customize. Then you will want to enter your customized script in the box. Then say get image, A disk image will be saved to your current machine. Now you will want to burn this image with your favorite tool to an unused cdrom disk.

Make sure your web server with the files is up and running. Boot the machine to use the server image. Give it a minute or two and you should be in business! For more info see: net boot.zip is not a complete dir You need all the files listed in step6 such as the debian installer directory,.pxelinux.0, and the mini.iso. These files were too large to upload. Unzip Move the directory to a directory within your /var/www apache2 framework. $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data netboot $ sudo chmod -R 755 netboot Go to www.romomatic.net and get your boot image for your client (do not forget to add the web address where the netboot directory is as part of the setup).

(hints for script set up: ) Boot with your client machine. Many linux distributionas are startomg to support a minimal network boot via floppy, usb, and or cd/dvd. In most cases you will use their server instead of having to use your own server for this installl. Once such linux is Arch linux.

You can get the install details at: If you fell limited by Ubuntu linux, Arch is a nice alternative. Boot.kernel.org which has evevoled over the years had a nice multiple floppy, cd, and usb boot media. (not sure how up to date it is). Mirror: It is easy enought to build your own setup with the help of amd - Openbsd, netbsd, and etc will also let you boot insto a network installl from a set of floppys.
