Hello,
I would like a networked boot (PXE) of the VoidLinux live image.
So I try to reuse content of ISO file (unsquash Live FS, etc)
I've tried the following PXE/tftpboot configuration, but none of them are
working:
LABEL VL32bit.nfs
MENU LABEL VoidLinux Live Mate i686 (2015-04) - NFS
KERNEL kernels/voidlinux/i686/cdrom/boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=kernels/voidlinux/i686/cdrom/boot/initrd root=live:nfs:192.168
.50.1:/share/tftpboot/kernels/voidlinux/i686/rootfs.liveOS/root [other
parameters]
LABEL VL32bit.tftp
MENU LABEL VoidLinux Live Mate i686 (2015-04) - tftp
KERNEL kernels/voidlinux/i686/cdrom/boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=kernels/voidlinux/i686/cdrom/boot/initrd root=live:tftp://192.168.50.1/kernels/voidlinux/i686/rootfs.liveOS/LiveOS/ext3fs.img
[other parameters]
Loading of kernel and initrd files are fine, but dracut (launched from
initrd) fails to work with the "root" parameter in both cases.
I suspect that dracut has been built without tftp or NFS support in the
voidlinux image ?
Someone succeeded to have a VoidLinux Live image from network or did I
missed something ?
Do you plan to add support of tftp/NFS in initrd/dracut in order to have it
?
This is really convinient to test a distribution without having to burn a
CD and so on ...
Thanks - Pierre

I haven't tried NFS nor TFTP, but make sure you've got the `dracut-network`
package.

If you have dracut-network installed you have to add network and nfs
modules to your dracut.conf or pass them as parameters while generating the
initrd.

Hello,
I'll give a try to regenerate the initrd file of the Live image.
It's gonna take some time since I have to install VoidLinux first then
learn to rebuild the distribution ;)
If I succeed, I will provide infos and diff on howto generate such a
modified version.
