 Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2004 14:16 Post subject: impossible to create boot floppy disk |
 |
|
when I create a boot floppy disk in admin web, the web shows :
Erreur
72+0 records in 72+0 records out 36864 bytes transferred in 1.582902 seconds (23289 bytes/sec)
I try with two floppy disk, two floppy reader, and with m23 stable & dev, I've the same problem.
Are you an idea ? |

It seems to me, that all did work ok and the error message should be an info message.
here was a problem to recognise, if the "dd" command is printing an error or an information message. So it might be interpreted as error message.
Did you try booting from the disk?

This error (if not from the BIOS of your PC) normally means you have chosen the wrong bootimage.
Are you sure, you have choosen the right bootimage for the chipset of your network card? |

There exist different versions of this network card RTL8139A, B and C.
I have tried all these versions and one is not working with Etherboot. I don't remember the not working version. May be it is the version you are using.
You have another possibillity to install your client. With the MDK you can build a client boot CD. Enter in a console on your server:
/mdk/bin/menu-start
Then follow the menus and build the ISO image for the client CD. With this ISO file you can burn the boot CD.

I have the same problem with 0.4.99 halfBaked-pre1.

The only error message that matters is:
| Code: |
./mkBootImage.sh: line 28: mknbi-linux: command not found
|
This says, that no new Etherboot image could be build. It should be no real problem, because there is allready an Etherboot image. You can install mknbi, if you want to build a new Ethernet bootimage.
Building of the ISO should be ok:
| Code: |
5020 extents written (9 Mb)
|
The ISO can be found under /mdk/bootimage and is called m23client.iso.

Holá,
just to take part in this rw, i got nearly the same error message.
72+0 records in 72+0 records out 36864 bytes transferred in 0.935691 seconds (39398 bytes/sec)
Version: 0.4.13 shiver-final
And, i think it doesnt matter which Network Card to select, because you have to create one for the client(s NIC) and not dependend to the server(s NIC)
or am i wrong. i say this, beacause above me, you told, that someone has chosen the wrong drivers(Image fr the NIC)

the"guest" above is me.
in spite of the error message, the created floppy does work now.
but im not sure, if it works correctly.
-it did something: the status at the server is now: yellow and the client screen tells me: waiting for next job.
thats ok. but the web interface with the attributs of the client is almost empty.
