 +==== "​Etherboot with Linux 2.6 hangs/does not boot" ==== 
 + 
 +**Problem:​**\\ You have created a network-bootable-image (NBI) of a Linux 2.6 (or higher) kernel with mknbi-* and want to boot it using Etherboot but Etherboot stops after loading the image and either hangs or enters an infinite reboot-cycle. 
 + 
 +**Solution:​**\\ Use wraplinux to make the NBI in stead of mknbi-*. [[http://​www.kernel.org/​pub/​linux/​utils/​boot/​wraplinux|Wraplinux]] can be downloaded from here. Preferably, if you can, you might want to upgrade from using etherboot to using gPXE as netbootloader.
