Title: Kernel Panic during PXE Boot
Post by: derdigge on August 27, 2011, 07:37:38 AM

Hello!

I have tried to PXE Boot TCL.
Host system is a ubuntu machine.
Tftpserver is up and Dhcp clients on the network are pointed to the tftpserver.

Bzimage and tinicore.gz are loding fine.

The System is booting till the point:

Freeing unused Kernel Memory : 404k freed
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: no initfound. Try passing init= option to kernel.

maybe he is killing /init by freein memmory :)
I have used the current version for this.
btw. microcore is booting just fine.

is there a way to fix that?

regards
derdige



my pxelinux.cfg/default:
label ws1
  kernel bzImage
  append initrd=tinycore.gz

PS: cant use CODE here in Forum:

Are you using the latest version of tinycore?

It looks like tinycore.gz is not being properly transmitted.

Is the client low on ram?

The 128 MB RAM should be enough. I trust you have double-checked (via the MD5 checksums) that the download was correct.

You could of course re-download the kernel and initrd (plus checksum files) from here (http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/distribution_files/).
