Linux – PXE Boot Fedora 17 Error

fedoralinuxpxe-boot

When trying to boot into the latest Fedora 17 cd via PXE, I am presented with the following error:

PXE dracut: fatal: no or empty root= argument

So, I added a root= line to my fedora menu entry (shown below), but receive the following error:

dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Fedora.menu

In order to help you, you'll can find in this URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=820366 a bug which can be compare to your problem.

I solved my problem by removing just an argument 'ksdevice=eth0' to my "APPEND" line:

The old one:

APPEND ks=http://xx/ks-fedora17-stations-local.cfg \
   initrd=images/fedora/x86_64/17/initrd.img \
   ramdisk_size=100000 ip=dhcp url --url ftp://xx/17/os ksdevice=eth0

The new one:

APPEND ks=http://xx/ks-fedora17-stations-local.cfg 
   initrd=images/fedora/x86_64/17/initrd.img \
   ramdisk_size=100000 ip=dhcp url --url ftp://xx/17/os

Hope this will help you.

Bests,
