I have been trying to get a Debian 7 install of DRBL to work for about 8 hours now. I think it is pxelinux because the system loads pxelinux.0, displays ip information, and never pulls anything from the TFTP server.

I have been having this problem for a while and have been using older versions of DRBL live CDs in the meantime.

I tried to use pxelinux 4.05 after manually compiling syslinux on this Debian 7/DRBL install but it was not working out. I was getting Mode NAK's (4) from the TFTP server that is running when a client tried to download vesamenu.c32

I do not know what to do. I really would not like to be left behind in future developments of pxelinux or drbl but if this keeps happening I am going to have to stick with the old and most likely move on to a different software.

Please help.

    Did you try:

    1. Latest DRBL live?
    2. Follow
      http://drbl.org/installation/#Setup_the_Diskless_Remote_boot_in
      or
      http://drbl.org/installation/#upgrade
      to reinstall the system?

    BTW, if what your purpose is to use Clonezilla SE, you can also try:
    http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-SE/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php

      I just installed DRBL into debian wheezy yesterday. This is where the
      issues started and I have the same problems with the live CDs. The
      last live CD I could get to work was DRBL Live 2.1.0-12.

      Can you at least tell me, after I compile syslinux manually, what
      config I have to change to get it to work? I copy the c32 modules,
      and pxelinux.0 over but I still have problems. I even mod dhcpcd.conf
      and default to try and match what is contained in DRBL Live 2.1.0-12

      I do not have a NIS server and ypserv, passwdd, xfrd, and bind fail to
      load completly.

      Does that make a difference?

    All the packages we compiled are here:
    http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/pool/drbl/unstable/syslinux/
    or
    http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/pool/drbl/stable/syslinux/
    You can find the build process where debuild created on Debian system:
    http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/pool/drbl/stable/syslinux/syslinux_4.06+dfsg-1.drbl2_i386.build

    Normally the binary files released on syslinux project should work for DRBL, unless there are some patches not yet in the stable release. For example for syslinux 6.02 we have to apply some patches so that localboot won't be broken.

    I was able to get sys/pxelinux 6.03-pre18 working just fine.

    Any reason you guys are not updating your PXELINUX version on live CD releases?

    Steven Shiau - 2014-08-06

    Which version of live CD did you mean?
    In the testing release of live system, now we do use 6.03-pre18.

    I am still having problems. I have DRBL installed with my own copy of pxelinux.0 and associated files, it works fine, but right now with the live cd:

    The system pulls pxelinux.0 from the tftp server but freezes there. Did you compile the version of syslinux/pxelinux that is included with the system or did copy the binary from: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.03/

    I guess I could check md5 sums....

     

    Last edit: WebDawg 2014-08-08

    WebDawg - 2014-08-14

    I checked the md5 sums and they do not match. I assume you compiled pxelinux.0?

     
  • Steven Shiau

    Steven Shiau - 2014-08-16

    We use the syslinux from Debian repository, i.e.
    https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=syslinux
    So yes, it's compiled by Debian.

    Steven.
