Michael Decker: Driver Development

Modified .git/config

[remote "personal"]
        url = mdeck@rom.etherboot.org:/pub/scm/people/mdeck/gpxe.git

to

[remote "personal"]
        url = ssh://mdeck@rom.etherboot.org//pub/scm/people/mdeck/gpxe.git

The erroneous configuration was created from here.

Fixed dhcpd.conf for new configuration

# dhcpd.conf

max-lease-time 7200;

option space gpxe;
option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;
option gpxe.bus-id code 177 = string;

Got chainloading from PXE operational. PXE → gPXE → (http or aoe)

Changed mount of file system containing AoE image

$ sudo umount /dev/sda4
$ sudo mount /dev/sda4 /media/test

Modified /etc/vblade.conf

# example configuration file
# network_device shelf slot file/disk/partition mac[,mac[,mac]]
#eth0 0 0 /dev/sdb 00:11:22:33:44:55
eth0 0 0 '/media/Spare Room/test/disk.img'

to

# example configuration file
# network_device shelf slot file/disk/partition mac[,mac[,mac]]
#eth0 0 0 /dev/sdb 00:11:22:33:44:55
eth0 0 0 /media/test/test/disk.img

vblade didn't appear to like the space.

$ /etc/init.d/vblade start

Installed apache2 on server

Copied gtest.gpxe into /var/www

Modified /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

host h3 {
  hardware ethernet 00:90:27:43:84:4B;         # eepro100 card for testing

# For booting via http
  filename "http://192.168.1.9/gtest.gpxe";

# For booting Windows
#  filename "";
#  option root-path "aoe:e0.0";
}

And $ sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart

Successfully chainloaded gPXE script from local httpd!
