Hello,
I am trying to netinstall Kubuntu using lpxelinux.0 bootloader. I am using dnsmasq as tftp server. My /pxelinux.cfg/default relevant section lokks like:
LABEL Kubuntu
MENU LABEL Kubuntu 15.10 x86
KERNEL /Kubuntu-15.10/x86/casper/vmlinuz
APPEND boot=casper netboot=http httproot=http://192.168.1.1:8080/Kubuntu-15.10/x86 initrd=/Kubuntu-15.10/x86/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash
As web server I am using nginx. The extracted dvd iso is under the above specified httproot. When trying to netboot a Virtualbox machine I get an initramfs error telling that cannot find the network drive. If I change to nfs server as below
LABEL Kubuntu
MENU LABEL Kubuntu 15.10 x86
KERNEL /Kubuntu-15.10/x86/casper/vmlinuz
APPEND boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/tftp/Kubuntu-15.10/x86 initrd=/Kubuntu-15.10/x86/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash
everythin works OK. I would prefer using the web server method as anybody could tell me what is wrong. Thank's in advance!
