- | Now, trying different commands | + | Here is the code which is working for |
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/myname/for_pxe_knife/ | ||
+ | $ qemu -net nic -net user -fda ./gpxe.dsk -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/myname/for_pxe_knife/ | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | for following version of qemu version qemu version 0.10.0 | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu | ||
+ | QEMU PC emulator version 0.10.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Problems ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As per me following command should have worked, but It did not worked | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu -bootp tftp://10.0.2.2//pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/myname/for_pxe_knife/ -fda gpxe.dsk | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | at same time command | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/myname/for_pxe_knife/ -fda gpxe.dsk | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | works. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Problem faced is,\\ | ||
+ | it successfully downloads the //pxelinux.0// and executes it, | ||
+ | but it fails when it is downloading pxelinux.cfg/default\\ | ||
+ | It gives an error saying | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | TFTP prefix: tftp://10.0.2.2// | ||
+ | Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default | ||
+ | Unable to locate configuration file | ||
+ | |||
+ | Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset... | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Note : There are some versions of qemu for which network boot option did not worked. | ||
<code> | <code> | ||
$ qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/minix-pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ | $ qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/minix-pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ | ||
No valid PXE rom found for network device | No valid PXE rom found for network device | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | Above error came for qemu version 0.9.1 | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu | ||
+ | QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard | ||
</code> | </code> | ||
- | Here is the code which is working | + | But if you provide gpxe.dsk instead of ./testing.img it uses gpxe.dsk stack and boots properly. |
<code> | <code> | ||
- | qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ | + | $ qemu -net nic -net user -fda ./gpxe.dsk -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/minix-pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ |
