DRBL / clonezilla PXE server

[Maarten]

Hello,

i'm using an debian OS ( lenny 5.0.7 ) to setup a pxe server on clonezilla.
I installed the DRBL server & configurated this like it should be according the FAQ on the site.

My clonezilla SE allows me to create "clones" of the pc's that i connected with the live CD. It also allows me to restore my client pc's but only if i enter the live cd of the program and connect to the server by using the wizard that is provided.

I'm trying to set this up that it allows PXE booting for the installation , so i can preform a multi cast.

When i'm doing an pxe boot from a client it goes well ( it gets an ip adress, and all that is needed ) but then it get stuck on "trying to load pxelinux.cfg/default" and after a while it gives a time out.

also if i look in to the logs of my debian machine it says the following when preforming this task


file /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default_skeleton not found!

and

Unable to find the image (clonezilla) label! Make sure the clonezilla is labeled in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default_skeleton! Program terminated!!!

in the pxelinux.cfg i have the default file setup according the clonezilla tuturial, but still no luck so far...

i hope somebody here can give me some good advice or help on this, i'm getting desperate at this moment, cause i have to install 150 computers on my job...


PS: sorry for my english ( i'm dutch speaking )

Greetings,

Maarten

I solved this issue by doing the following :

Uninstall Debian Lenny 5.0
Install ubuntu server 10.10
install Clonezilla & drbl like i did on Debian

Run the same commands on my ubuntu machine that i used on the debian machine and it was "welcome to the nice world of pxe boot & automatic installation process"

Regards,
