+ | ==== 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... | ||

+ | But if you provide gpxe.dsk instead of ./testing.img it uses gpxe.dsk stack and boots properly. | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ qemu -net nic -net user -fda ./gpxe.dsk -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/minix-pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ | ||
