Hi all,
After several tests (using a normal PC but also a SBC with no videocard -
APU1C2 from PCEngines) on installing IPFIre over PXE I’ve ended up several
possible faults that lead to PXE not working:
Point A.
pxelinux.0 points to a wrong server: server returns "502 Bad Gateway"
Here are the outputs:
TFTP prefix: http://boot.dev.ipfire.org/
Unable to locate configuration file
Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset...
.........
Point B.
Premenu.cfg loaded by menu.gpxe (http://boot.ipfire.org/menu.gpxe ) has
default menu the vesa menu and the submenu that should allow me to select
between vesa and text are declared hidden. Therefore I can't select the text
interface when I am booting from an SBC without video card - only option
being the serial console = text menu - menu.c32.
Extract from premenu.cfg:
menu hidden
timeout 30
menu title Select menu type
menu autoboot Press any key for options or wait # second{,s}...
label vesa
menu default
text help
The default graphical boot menu.
endtext
menu label Graphical menu
kernel vesamenu.c32
append menu.cfg?arch=i586&platform=pcbios
label text
menu label Text menu
text help
Use this menu if the graphical menu does not work on your system.
endtext
kernel menu.c32
append menu.cfg?arch=i586&platform=pcbios
Point C.
Old .kpxe files from v1.0 folder
(http://mirror0.ipfire.org/releases/ipfire-boot/v1.0/) don’t duplicate the
characters on screen while the other .kpxe files (including the ones from
latest - http://mirror0.ipfire.org/releases/ipfire-boot/latest/ - generate
duplicate characters after loading the .kpxe and download from
boot.ipfire.org starts.
