Sir,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your replay & sorry for the delay in my replay.<br>
<br>
It is unclear which component (gPXE, BIOS, Linux kernel, distro<br>
installer) is displaying this error message..<br>
<br>
<br>
I am using 1.0.0 . I am using linux kernel 5.5 & 5.3. Bios it is an Cisco blade with there own bios.<br>
<br>
Your comments:The following commands work for me, I just tested with RHEL 5.5 and a<br>
KVM virtual machine:<br>
dhcp net0<br>
kernel http://10.0.2.2:8000/isolinux/vmlinuz askmethod<br>
initrd http://10.0.2.2:8000/isolinux/initrd.img<br>
boot <br>
<br>
<br>
When i give this cmd it is working fine and with out error I am going to nex line. But when i give boot cmd it says no unique boot image is found.<br>
<br>
I loaded the iso image in http service and it is working fine.<br>
<br>
I don't know what mistake I am doing . Or it may be an issue of my bios. I am attaching the screen shot please review it.<br>
<br>
Thanks & Regards.<br>
Siva Kumar.<br>

Please keep the gpxe@etherboot.org mailing list CCed. That way others<br>
<br>
can follow the conversation and make suggestions.<br>

It is unclear which component (gPXE, BIOS, Linux kernel, distro<br>
<br>
installer) is displaying this error message. Can you give more<br>
<br>
details about your configuration and what happens before you see the<br>
<br>
error message?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The following commands work for me, I just tested with RHEL 5.5 and a<br>
<br>
KVM virtual machine:<br>
<br>
dhcp net0<br>
<br>
kernel http://10.0.2.2:8000/isolinux/vmlinuz askmethod<br>
<br>
initrd http://10.0.2.2:8000/isolinux/initrd.img<br>
<br>
boot<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The HTTP server is listening on 10.0.2.2:8000 and exports the entire<br>
<br>
RHEL 5.5 ISO contents. The ISO was mounted with "mount -o loop<br>
<br>
RHEL5.5.iso /mnt" and the HTTP server has /mnt as the server root.<br>
<br>
The kernel and initrd paths therefore need to point into the isolinux/<br>
<br>
directory (i.e. isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I use "askmethod" on the kernel command-line so that the installer<br>
<br>
prompts whether to install from CD-ROM, HTTP, FTP, etc. When HTTP is<br>
<br>
selected, there is a dialog to enter the hostname/ip of the HTTP<br>
<br>
server and the path, I use "10.0.2.2:8000" and "/".<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
When you run the commands above, you will see gPXE download the kernel<br>
<br>
and initrd. Then Linux boots and kernel messages scroll past - at<br>
<br>
this stage gPXE is not used anymore and Linux has taken over. Then<br>
<br>
/sbin/loader starts the distro installer and menus appear to select<br>
<br>
your language, keyboard, and installation method. At which stage are<br>
<br>
you seeing the error message?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, I noticed in your original email you wrote "insolinux" instead<br>
<br>
of "isolinux". Is that a typo in the email or did you really use that<br>
<br>
in the command?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you're still stuck, consider sending a screenshot when the boot<br>
<br>
stops with an error message.<br>
