-====== 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>
-$ 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>
-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>
+#!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>
+===== Ready to use PXE-Knife over HTTP =====
+If you want to try out PXE-Knife without installing then visit page  [[pxeknifeOverHttp]]
+==== Problems ====
+In case you encounter any problems with this then you can refer the page [[QemuPxeKnifeHTTPProbs]]
