| - | **Solution:**\\ Error codes are generally internal errors. Many user errors are displayed as human-readable messages. Error codes allow the developers to identity the location in gPXE where the error is coming from. You can use the web-based [[http://etherboot.org/share/stefanha/errcode.php|gPXE Error Code Lookup]] or ask ''gpxebot'' for help on the [[contact|IRC channel]]. Fully investigating an error code will require the gPXE source code. Start by looking at ''src/include/errno.h''. Help is often available on the [[contact|IRC channel]]! | + | **Solution:**\\ Error codes are generally internal errors. Many user errors are displayed as human-readable messages.

| + | ==== "Etherboot with Linux 2.6 hangs/does not boot" ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Problem:**\\ You have created a network-bootable-image (NBI) of a Linux 2.6 (or higher) kernel with mknbi-* and want to boot it using Etherboot but Etherboot stops after loading the image and either hangs or enters an infinite reboot-cycle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Solution:**\\ Use wraplinux to make the NBI in stead of mknbi-*. [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/wraplinux|Wraplinux]] can be downloaded from here. Preferably, if you can, you might want to upgrade from using etherboot to using gPXE as netbootloader. | ||
