Re: !!!checksum problem of network boot image for linux!!!

Hello Thorsten
please don't forget to CC the mailing list in your answer mails. I
full-quoted your message so that other people on the list know what's
going on.

As far as I know the linux kernel has a option called 'ip'. You can
set it to something like 'ip=dhcp'. I think wraplinux just prefixes a
small bzimage loader before the kernel to execute the kernel.
'Everything after the kernel + initrd is loaded is up to the
distribution. Open SuSE specific documentation to create a nfsroot
capable initrd may be useful. If you still think it is related to
etherboot or wraplinux, then please try to load the kernel and initrd
directly, without wraplinux, with gPXE.
