Public bug reported: Booting Ubuntu over the network using a combination of PXE (for the kernel and ram drive) and an NFS Share for the Root File system (live disk image) This method works with older versions of ubuntu that i have used it on (ubuntu 8.04.4) But not in Lucid.
It returns an error which comes up on several different clients that i have tested this method on, all of which boot 8.04 fine, I have included a screen-shot of error text hidden behind ubuntu's Boot splash (viewable by pressing the arrow key) here http://fs07n4.sendspace.com/dl/5769212d791e3365d42f587d2a64394e/4c543059488ac6c9/t6t46m/ubuntu10.04_pxebootfailure.png Also this has been posted on the forum here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9649581#post I could be wrong, but maybe it has something to do with the network modules? its defiantly a bug or something, as everyone i have asked this about have been able to re produce the same problem. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Booting Ubuntu over the network using a combination of PXE (for the kernel and ram drive) and an NFS Share for the Root File system (live disk image) This method works with older versions of ubuntu that i have used it on (ubuntu 8.04.4) But not in Lucid.
