PXE booting, one last question
Hi,
Does anyone have a sample elilo.conf file for booting the kernel and then mounting an initial ramdisk? I have an elilo.conf that works for loading and mounting a ramdisk from an LS-120, but it can't mount the ramdisk when booting via the network. I checked my tftpd log, and the initial ramdisk is getting transferred to the client.

Something like that should work:
image=/vmlinuz.initrd
label=linux-initrd
initrd=/initrd-2.4.3All paths must be related to the tftpd root directory, nothing gets added by elilo.

image=vmlinuz
append="console=ttyS0,9600 ks=nfs:jupiter:/tftpboot/ia64.ks ksdevice=eth0"
label=install
read-only
initrd=ramdisk.img
This is what I use to boot RH's installation kernel and initrd with elilo and tftp.
