Hello,
I am installing RHEL4 ES on a "client" computer. I do a fresh load to a local
hard drive on the "client" with the goal of eventually making this node a
"diskless client" that will boot via PXE..
I use the Netboot GUI on my Linux "server" (another machine) that comes with
RedHat and it pulls the image and kernel from my hard drive on my "client" and
I can now PXE boot my client from the server. I am actually now booting the
default kernel that was installed on the hard drive of my "client". Life is
good.
My problem is that I want to reconfigure the kernel on my client and when I do,
the default .config files (in the "configs" directory or the Config-xxx file in
the /boot directory) do not contain the same settings as are in my original
kernel and my new kernel does not boot across the network. I have been pulling
my hair out trying to get my new kernel to boot. How can I get the default
.config settings for the kernel that was initially installed to my local hard
drive? I read about "extract_ikconfig" and /proc/config that allow you to pull
the .config info from a kernel but you have to have that support in the kernel
in the first place. It does not appear the initial RedHat install included this
in the kernel.
Please help.
Regards,
Todd
