| - | ====== Get PXE Knife working with QEMU over HTTP ====== | + | ====== Get PxeLinux and PXE-Knife working with QEMU over HTTP ====== |
| - | I am taking similar approach as I took for TFTP for which QEMU + PXE Knife combination is working if I use qemu TFTP stack. | + | Note : use latest version of Pxelinux to work over HTTP, for me version 3.80 worked. |
| - | But when I try and use HTTP, with following command, it does not work. | + | |
| + | Following is the way to run Pxe-knife (or any pxelinux based system) over http. | ||
| <code> | <code> | ||
| - | $ qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://10.0.0.2/pxeknife/pxelinux.0 | + | qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://10.0.0.2/pxeknife/pxelinux.0 |
| </code> | </code> | ||
| - | It is getting stuck in same way as QEMU + PXELinux + TFTP combination is getting stuck. | + | |
| - | It loads pxelinux.0 successfully, but fails in loading //pxeknife/default// file with error | + | or you can boot the online version of PXE-Knife using following command. |
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/pxelinux.0 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== With gpxe embedded script ==== | ||
| + | I recompiled the gpxe with following embedded script ../contrib/scripts/forpxeknife.gpxe, | ||
| <code> | <code> | ||
| + | #!gpxe | ||
| + | echo "Hi, We will be using PXEKnife from URL http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/" | ||
| + | dhcp net0 | ||
| + | set 209:string /pxeknife.cfg/default | ||
| + | set 210:string http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/ | ||
| + | echo "Here we go" | ||
| + | chain http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/pxelinux.0 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | and I compile with following command | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | make clean && make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=../contrib/scripts/forpxeknife.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| - | Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default | + | I execute qemu with no extra parameters at-all. |
| - | Unable to locate configuration file | + | <code> |
| + | qemu -fda gpxe.dsk | ||
| </code> | </code> | ||
