Hello
I have been working on burning a new CF card after the previous one
fitted to an ALIX SBC failed.
I started using Windoze based tools to set up a pxeboot but that failed
when during the boot, the file ldlinux.c32 could not be found. After
some research I thought this might be caused by a known bug.
I have switched to Debian based tools starting with dnsmasq. This has
been setup with dns disabled, and dchp + tftp enabled. I have the root
directories /srv/tftp/ and /srv/http/. These contain the unpacked
netboot files and iso files respectively. That setup worked until the
file ldlinux.c32 could not be found.
The log showed that dnsmasq made a search of the following directories:
/srv/tftp
/boot/isolinux/
/boot/syslinux/
/syslinux/
/isolinux/
A search of the iso files found ldlinux.c32 in the directory
/srv/ihttp/boot/isolinux.
At present the high level directory tree looks like this:
/srv/http
/boot/
/doc/
/dosutils/
/images/
COPYING
README. txt
/srv/tftp
/ipcop/
/pxelinux.cfg.bak/ # renamed to avoid clash
with pxelinux.cfg filename
pxelinux.0
pxelinux.cfg
I have not yet configured a web server. I have installed lighttpd but
it isn't yet configured.
I changed the dir name from /pxelinux.cfg/ to /pxelinux.cfg.bak/ because
it clashed with the copied file renamed pxelinux.cfg file.
It appears that I need to mv all the files/dirs in the http dir over to
the tftp dir. This should then allow the ALIX to fnd the ldlinux.c32
file. This is not how I remember doing it a couple of years ago.
Installation on CF card is no longer covered in the IPCop manual and
very little is mentioned on the internet. I haven't yet reached the
point in the installation process where I am prompted for the location
of the iso root dir (/srv/http).
I think my current problem is due to incorrect directory tree
structure. I am seeking advice on the correct high level directory tree
structure and file locations.
What should the high level dir tree look like?
Regards
Darren
