[Linux-ia64] PXE booting, one last question

[Michael Madore]

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-2.4.3

All paths must be related to the tftpd root directory, nothing gets added
by elilo.

prompt
timeoutP
default=install

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.
