PXE booting: no such disk

PXE booting: no such disk

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

I'm trying to follow the instructions on this wiki page:
  http://grub.enbug.org/PXEBOOT
and I'm getting "error: no such disk", followed by the "grub rescue>"
prompt. If I try `pxe --info` on that prompt, I get:
  "error: no pxe environment"

I'm using "grub-pc 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu7" from Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, and the
latest gpxe boot disk as the PXE stack. If I try with my laptop's PXE
stack instead, it hangs *before* the "grub rescue>" prompt.

I've seen in moddep.lst that pxe depends on bufio, and pxecmd depends on
extcmd, so I *also* tried with 
  grub-mkimage --output=core.img --prefix="(pxe)/boot/grub" bufio pxe extcmd pxecmd
bug again, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Alkis Georgopoulos

gpxe detects grub as multiboot payload and boots it as such. Your options:
1) add .0 to pxe filename
2) compile gpxe w/o multiboot support
3) Replace 02 B0 AD 1B in core.img with something else
4) Wait till I import gpxe into grub-extras

Where exactly does it hang. What kind of network card is it? What kind
of laptop is it?
