    pxeboot

    hi all,
    i'm trying to install debian using tftpd32 but it doen't work.
    i've installed tftpd32 on my computer,and i've put all the necessary file in pxelinux
    directory:

    C:/pxelinux
    tftpd32.exe
    debian-installer
    pxelinux.cfg
    pxelinux.0

    when i boot , i can see the tftpd log allocate an ip adress to the client
    and the computer also displays the ip adress,and download pxelinux.0 but then
    the tftpd32 server log displays error msg :
    file<debian-installer\i386\boot-screens\boot.txt>: ... "File : error 131 in system call ReadFile An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.

    The file is located correctly I have already double-checked that. I also replaces the file but always the same problem. Anyone an idea with this issue?
    tank you in advance

    Hi, and welcome to the forums!

    The first errors (error 2) are not a problem. It's just looking for a specific config based on MAC address. Not finding that, it falls back on pxelinux.cfg/default which is the behavior you should expect.

    But the other problem
    file<debian-installer\i386\boot-screens\boot.txt>: ... "File : error 131 in system call ReadFile An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.
    That is more of a problem. Did you do a md5 checksum on that file? Maybe try downloading it again. I'm not sure, but it smells like a corrupted image to me.

    Not really sure. You mean the server gives you that message? It works for me. Try again?
