PXE boot live CD

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to pxe boot an Opensuse live cd. I already have an active pxe boot server(based on ubuntu server) that serves ubuntu distros. I know i’m going to have to put the kernel and initrd on the server and have tried that. The problem is KIWI, it cannot find any discs to mount.

Any help would be appriciated,

IIRC the initrd code (kiwi?) is not able to download the root image from PXE server, it can only load it from a CD/DVD drive. For this reason a Live CD is unusable for network boot (you could boot it but you would need to put the medium into the CD/DVD drive which makes the network boot useless).

check for an zimage/initrd bundle in your linux cd (/boot or /syslinux don’t remember), these are what you need to bootstrap the system, you would then need a root image to with it…
