Headless PXE install

I have had good success installing Arch via PXE using the archiso-pxe-server script. But now I have a rack machine that has no video card and no cdrom drive (it won't be feasible to get them either): only a serial port. I can get the install started well enough by hitting tab and adding console=ttyS0 to the boot options... but later on it boots into a new kernel (a second time) and sure enough, i lose my console connection shortly afterwards. I must admit that the installation process is a bit magical to me, and i don't get why its booting into a ramdisk installation a second time. The ideal solution would be to somehow append boot options the second time the kernel gets fired up, but i don't see how this can be done. Maybe i need to build a custom image for this, or perhaps a standard PXE setup would work better?
If anybody has any experience with this or any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I'm drawing blanks at this point! Thank you.

FYI to @the_general, if you're running your own PXE service which provides a standard syslinux pxelinux.0, you can use a menu section that appends as normally expected. here's my archlinux.menu file which is provided from the default menu.

Trying to make a PXE install

Hi, I want to learn how to make a PXE install and I am using Virtualbox for that.
I read the wiki but I can't make it work.
I think the mistake is in my dhcp config file. See:
#option definitios common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org:

Also, it's possible he has a bad drive. If he's been experiencing issues, and it's culminated in an unbootable machine, it could be a hardware failure, rather than a bad OS X install. If Disk Utility, Safe Boot, and fsck/fsck_hfs can't sort out his drive, it might be best to haul it to an Apple Store to have them inspect its components (unless you want to invest in something like Disk Warrior ⇪ first).

Pxe install how-to needed

I have two laptops, one is HP nx9000 (archlinux), and the second is Toshiba portege 2000 (no system). What I need to do is to install archlinux on Toshiba via netboot instal (pxe install). I cannot figure out how to configure my HP running arch to allow my toshiba netboot. Is it possible to use computer-computer lan cable, or do I need a router? I have no router so it would be most convenient to use crossed lan cable to connect two computers and then install arch on toshiba.
Any suggestions how can I do this?

Currently there is no netboot image for Arch, but i've done some reading and it looks like all you need is a kernel and a filesystem.
You could try taking the kernel and initrd from tpowa's new ftp-iso .
New ISOs for i686
In the tftp file dir you need to copy the vmlinuz and initrd.img files .
(in the iso they are located here: ISO9660/isolinux )
in the pxelinux.cfg folder there should be a default file .
here's an example i found on this page
General PXE install server
Example of default
--snip--
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 1200
display message.txt
label linux
kernel kernels/bare.i/bzImage
append initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=102400 rw root=/dev/ram
--snip--
If you succeed in doing a pxe install , don't forget to update the wiki.

PXE Install Hangs at Mirror Selection

Ok, I've followed the directions at https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/ for setting up a PXE boot, everything goes fine, the PXE finds the DHCP and TFTP server, downloads the ipxe.pxe image and executes it. I get the menu to select what I want to install and choose "Official Release (32 bit)", that then takes me to a mirror list. I scroll through the mirrors and find one relatively close (mirror.rit.edu) and hit enter. It's at this point that things fail and I'm not sure why. The files listed in the options are available at the address listed, so it's not just a mirror problem. I've also tried hosting the files locally and editing the options on a mirror site to point to the local source, but no joy there either. This is an older Dell latitude C400, perhaps a network card issue with ipxe?

I have had this same problem. It is because the current list of mirrors that is downloaded is out of date.
What you need to do is select the mirror that you want to download from, and press TAB. You will then get the URL displayed on the screen that is trying to be downloaded. There is a date included in the URLs, you need to edit these to reflect the correct date. You can see the correct date by manually browsing to the mirrors using a web browser on another machine.
So basically, its because the ipxe is trying to download an image that no longer exists on the mirrors. By editing the URL that is trying to be downloaded you can correct this issue and cause a newer image to be downloaded.

PXE Install Preboot work

Hi all,
I want to install SUSE 10 with ZLM 7 through PXE.
I made network NFS install point:
NFS share: /shared
SUSE 10 install point location: NFS:/shared/suse10
created folder suse10 under /srv/tftp
copied linux (kernel) and initrd (ram disk) from SUSE 10 to this folder.
created autoyast file suse10.xml from working SUSE 10 workstation and placed
to /shared/suse10
ZLM Configuration
1. Created Preboot bundle suse10-install with the next config:
Linux Kernel File: suse10/linux
Initial RAM Drive: suse10/initrd
AutoYaST Script name and path (Relative to protocol default directory):
NFS
172.16.1.7
/shared/suse10/suse10.xml
Additional Kernel Parameters: splash=0
Install Directory:
NFS
172.16.1.7
/shared/suse10
2. Configuration->Preboot Services:
created one rule with MAC-address of Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 Laptop (80GB
hard drive, 512M RAM)
Result:
I can mount NFS share and see all files.
I can boot from cd1 and run NFS install.
When I boot with PXE:
- kernel loads
- ram disk is created
- all drivers are loaded
- yast tries to start
I get the message: please suply config file
System tries to switch to graphics mode and reboots.
Any ideas?
I attach my control file

Issues with PXE installing "rebooting"

I am having this issue, and I am getting confused.
I am able to F12 into PXE, and this loads the PXE Client, with no issue, but then it gets to the ConfigManager Screen "the first white screen" it reboots back to the beginning.
I have check all my settings, and I have also press F8, to check to see if I have a IP Address, and here I discovered I had none, so I download "I think I have the right drivers" and install them
recording to VMware Workstation, I have a       Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection
and here is also my SMSPXE Log.        https://www.dropbox.com/s/d72eww8y4qs87uz/SMSPXE%2031-02-2014.log
can someone please help me, as I am pulling my hair out.

this is the question, I think I have as I when to the intel website and downloaded the DOS ROM drivers
PXE ROM code
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
and when I try and inport the drivers I am informed
that it see's the INF files for both Pro100 \ Pro1000 Drivers Oemsetuo.inf
but then I try to import them I am informed
\\win08-sccm\Source\Drivers\PXE DRIVERS\Dos\PRO100\DOS\oemsetup.inf
- The selected file is not a valid Windows device driver.
\\win08-sccm\Source\Drivers\PXE DRIVERS\Dos\PRO1000\DOS\oemsetup.inf - The selected file is not a valid Windows
device driver.
Add drivers to the following packages:
VMWare Drivers
Packages will be updated on distribution points.
so I spoke to a friend to whom informed me that this is a know issue and that I can use the windows 8.1 drivers for the PXE Book, so I download the drivers and inport them with no issues, but the PXE boot still does work.
Windows 8.1 Drivers =
Win7 and WinServer 2008 R2 Driver
the win 8.1 drivers go's on with no issues, but the PXE Boot still don't work.

Enabling winRM after unattended pxe install

Hello,
I'm able to fully install my windows unattended from a (linux) pxe server. The only issue is, that because of the rest of my automated deployment, it would be necessary to have winrm enabled to send commands. Bt the issue I'm having, is that when I try to
enable winrm in the setupcomplete, it doesn't take the right hostname yet for the https certificate. Which only happens after the reboot when setupcomplete.com has finished.
Is there a way to get winrm over https enabled automatically?

check this link?https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/40cd085f-9a71-47a1-825b-79bde4f13fb2/enable-winrm-on-unattended-installs?forum=winserverManagement

Problem with PXE install of T500

At my firm we have got a T500 for test and we are trying to make it run with our PXE environment.
We run PXE boot with Dos, and get a failure upon unattended installation of XP, something like "The Installation has run out of memory, and can not continue" roughly translated from danish.
We already have about 12 different machines in our setup, like T43, T60, T61 and they all run flawlessly in our setup. However this T500 kills the installation right after copying files to the partitioned harddrive.
We had this problem before and had to trim down bios functions to get enough memory free for the installation. But what can we trim on the bios of the T500? (type 2241-CTO)
Hope to get a fast reply
Kind regards
//Cosmodk

Disable Intel ATM from bios. This should free some memory.
Also fixes so issues with altiris pxe server if you are using it?

Office 2010 pxe installed without outlook

Hello,
we have a image with microsoft office 2010 pro plus. this is installed without outlook (because of zenworks and groupwise)
now we had to install outlook on a certain amount of computers. we tried using the dvd of office where the software on the image is based on and then change the installed packages but this did not show outlook in the menu.
after that we tried removing office and then reinstalling it and this works.
but now the question remains is there a way to install outlook without reinstalling the total package of office?
if you need more info than please let me know.
thanks in advance,
Michel de Boer

Hi,
to modify an existing installation (e.g. to change a feature state from "Absent" to "Local/Installed"),
you can do this several ways;
a) create a customization MSPfile (with OCT) and deploy that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179141(v=office.14).aspx
b) create a customization XMLfile and deploy that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195(v=office.14).aspx#ElementOptionState http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956(v=office.14).aspx#BKMK_modify
c) uninstall and reinstall Office

OVM3 Guest PXE Boot goes into infinite install loop

Hello Avi,
When I create a PVM guest, using OVM Manager 3.0.3, within the network path I pass something similar to the following:
--args="ksdevice=eth0 network ks=http://<your_KS_server>/<path>/ks.cfg" http://<my_iso_server>/mounted_isos/OL5/
This works just fine, the VM pops up it finds the ks.cfg and does the install. However, on the reboot it goes right back to this PXE install and continues to do this in an infinite loop. I tried changing the bootloader from /usr/bin/xenpvboot to /usr/bin/pygrub, but if I do that it just gives Error: Boot Loader didn't return any data!. I also tried removing the bootargs and leaving it as bootargs='' and that also didn't work, same error.
Obviously the continuous rebooting into PXE and reinstalling is a bug, but how can I fix the vm.cfg file manually?
Thanks,
Roger

NOTE: This is for a PVM Guest.
ok, I solved my own problem but it's ugly.
Due to the infinite rebooting into the pxe installer, once the installer is done, I had to make sure on the reboot I turned it off before it goes back to the PXE. Once done I had to make modifications to the current vm.cfg. These are the parameters that you must modify:
bootloader = '/usr/bin/xenpvboot'
boot = 'n'
bootargs = ''--args="ksdevice=eth0 network ks=http://<your_KS_server>/<path>/ks.cfg" http://<my_iso_server>/mounted_isos/OL5/
Comment out the above and modify the bootloader line on the vm.cfg as follows:
bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
Side NOTE: Make sure your ks.cfg file installs kernel-xen and subtract kernel (-kernel) within your ks.cfg. Otherwise by default it will try and boot into the non xen kernel for a PVM and you get an invalid kernel error similar to this Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_parse_elf_kernel: ELF image has no shstrtab\n')
Hope that helps someone out,
Roger

Regarding Oracle LINUX 6.3 32bit PXE Installation

I am an experienced sysadmin for windows , linux and unix.
I have downloaded the latest version of Oracle Lunix 6.3 x86_32bit and put it on my Windows7 PXE install server ready to use.
The ISO Disk contains symlinks for the repodata and a few other areas.
Symlinks dont get unpacked correctly from windows to the directory which results in an error when installing.
As I also have oracle Virtual BOX and the tar command has an option to follow symlinks, I am attempting to create a media directory with no symlinks, this workaround is of course not an ideal as the media isnt a direct splash copy of the original, so updating the DVD image is a pain.
I of course could have media served up from the VB linux machine via a HTTP, but that is getting around the issue.
Anyone else found this problem with the media? Does a symlink-free version of media exist?
LINKS, that need adjusting to make netinstall work with a windows7 httpd server

Edited by: 960348 on 20-Sep-2012 07:41

This BUG only exists when you use a windows http server and unpack the DVD files direct to the windows filesystem.
The BUG here is with the Archiving tool not translating the SYMLINK from unix to the windows version.(mklink)
In the ROOT of the unpacked DVD install run this as ADMIN
mklink /d .\ResilientStorage\Packages ..\Packages
mklink /d .\UEK2\Packages ..\Packages
mklink /d .\HighAvailability\Packages ..\Packages
mklink /d .\LoadBalancer\Packages ..\Packages
mklink /d .\Server\Packages ..\Packages

[SOLVED] Can I install Arch on the same PC, without a CD/USB/Netboot

Hello
I'm kinda bored, and then I like to reinstall Arch over and over.. but I lack a CD/USB stick and/or another PC to do a PXE install, therefor..
Can I set up my current installation to boot into a new arch install when I reboot somehow?
Thanks.

Downloaded the netinst image (160mb), copied:

Edited /boot/grub/menu.lst according to /mnt/iso/boot/isolinux.cfg

kernel /vmlinuz26-test
initrd /archiso.img archisolabel=ARCH_201005 tmpfs_size=75% locale=en_US.UTF-8
Now, whenever I boot this.. it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /disk-by/uid.. lots of dots here.
Ideas? I'd like to avoid making a new partition as suggested in the wiki, as it requires me to load a live cd of sorts anyway, so I can shrink one of my partitions.
Thanks :-)!

PXE Deploy Fails - BCD Error 0xc98

When I attempt to PXE boot any machine, physical or virtual, I get an error message, the pertinent details are:
"Recovery - Your PC needs to be repaired
File: \Tmp\x86x64{GUID}.bcd
Error code: 0xc0000098"
DHCP Options were set as follows:
066: CMDP (the name of the stand-alone DP)
067: SMSboot\x64\wdsnbp.com
One of the most bizarre facts is that I was able to run a PXE install one time and then the next day, the system displayed this error.
Here are some steps I have tried to resolve the issue:
Removed and Rebuilt the DP on the Primary Site (now removed completely).
Built a stand-alone DP on Server 2012 R2 in vmware vcenter 5 and configured it for PXE boot.
Restarted the server after confirming WDS was installed and it appears to be running correctly.
Verified all content was being distributed correctly and ensured boot images were set for PXE deploy.
Installed ADK 8.1 Update, built new Boot Images and distributed them to the DP.
Rebuilt the PXE Task Sequence using both x86 and x64 Boot Images.
Changed DHCP option from x86 to x64 and back and forth.
Ensured the SCCM Admin was explicitly added to the DP as a local admin.
Made sure all SMS folders on the DP are shared to everyone with read priv's and the SMSBoot folder location was shared to allow the DHCP options to connect to the correct network path.
Resintalled the ConfigMgr Console on the site server and my tech machine.
Updated SCCM to R2 CU3.
Read dozens of similar forum posts.
Cried a little.
The SMSPXE log on the Primary Site is no longer being updated since building the new DP. Don't know which logs to check or where they would be!
I am getting close to full reinstall of SCCM -- which I really don't want to do -- but I'm running out of forum posts to follow!! Can you help me stop bashing my head against a wall - it's starting to hurt.

Based on a similar thread, I traced the issue back to the MP.

Hi. So I haven't been able to upgrade yesterday or today because of this bug. I couldn't figure out how to solve it on my own.
This is what happens when I try to upgrade:
jake@levi> sudo pacman -Syyu ~
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 104.8 KiB 76.7K/s 00:01 [##################################################################################################] 100%

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: languagetool: requires java-runtime>=6
:: rhino: requires java-runtime
I have jre7-openjdk-headless already installed, which provides java-runtime 7, so I don't see why I could be running into any problems.

Karol's advice did not worked for me, so I did this:
pacman -Rdd jre7-openjdk-headless
and after that this:
pacman -S jre7-openjdk
and then the update worked as it should. Hope that helps somebody.
Not sure what was the issue in your case, but I did say "Try to ignore the conflicts and see if it works out." and by that I meant the '-dd' switch.
Now I see I should have been explicit about it as my comment doesn't make it clear at all.
