[sisuite-users] systemimager on debian stable stuck with PXE

[Bob <bob...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I have seen though SI is officially dead, people are still using it and recommend. Indeed a remarkable Oopen Source Software.


I have tried SI on debian stable, after fixing kernel mismatch issue and I am amazed to see this S/W can still restore from image-server running on debian stable, while client is purposely messed up. Unfortunately preparing USB boot stick for golden client not possible but it has a brilliant feature - PXE 

While checking the si_mkbootserver, it creates required pxelinux.cfg at /var/lib/tftpboot; hence modified tftp path to /var/lib/tftpboot at /etc/default/tftpd-hpa But during pxe boot the client complains not file at tftp server.  /var/lib/tftpboot has

````````
pxelinux.bin 
pxelinux.cfg
X86PC
`````````


tree *
X86PC
`-- UNDI
    `-- linux-install
        |-- linux.0
        |-- message.txt
        `-- pxelinux.cfg
            `-- default
pxelinux.bin [error opening dir]
pxelinux.cfg
`-- default


If rename pxelinux.bin to pxelinux.0 then it ask for ldlinux.c32
So put ldlinux.c32, libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, vesamenu.c32 and now through PXE boot possible though it shows "boot from local disk" and the actually boot from localdisk.

while the  pxelinux.cfg/default contains

```````````
DEFAULT localhost

LABEL localhost
LOCALBOOT 0
````````````

really clueless now. Could anyone kindly advise please ?

regards,
Bob
