I've been trying to set up a server for disk-less booting of remote machines on a network. The server host OS is RHEL6 and I have configured dhcp, tftp and nfs services which are proven to be working since I am able to install RHEL6 through pxe boot. Now I want it to serve for disk-less booting. Below are steps which I have done and then the problems I got-
1. Configure dhcp, tftp, nfs and set up for pxe booting. Tested to be working by installing RHEL through network.
2. Install dracut-network package, copy the kernel from /boot of the host server to temp and generate an initramfs with network support.
#dracut initramfs_diskless.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
This gave the error-
so I removed the vmliuz from the filename and dracut showed no errors.
3. Copy the entire root filesystem of a RHEL6 desktop installation to a location on the server, except the contents of /proc and /sys and export the location over nfs.
4. Add the following lines to default file inside pxelinux.cfg
5. Try to pxe boot a machine on the network.
Output at client side-
<Here it just stops for about 2 mins >
Then it shows a bunch of memory addresses with system calls and hangs.
Please help !!!!!!!!!!
