[SOLVED] ipxe and archlinux issue

Hello,

I'm having a problem with my Arch Linux installation. I'm using iPXE, and it works well with other systems like Debian and Ubuntu, obtaining its IP address through DHCP.

However, when trying to load Arch Linux, I get the following error:

Here is my code:

IP-Config: eth0 hardware address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
ERROR; Failed to configure network
Falling back to interactive prompt...

Here is my code:

#!ipxe
:retry
kernel http://{{mirrorurl}}/iso/latest/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux ip=dhcp vmlinuz-linux initrd=amd-ucode.img initrd=intel-ucode.img initrd=initramfs-linux.img cms_verify=y  archiso_http_srv=http://{{mirrorurl}}/iso/latest/ archisobasedir=arch net.ifnames=0 script={{os_script_folder_url}}/{{mac | replace(':','-') | lower }}/kickstart.j2 || goto retry
initrd http://{{mirrorurl}}/iso/latest/arch/boot/intel-ucode.img || goto retry
initrd http://{{mirrorurl}}/iso/latest/arch/boot/amd-ucode.img || goto retry
initrd http://{{mirrorurl}}/iso/latest/arch/boot/x86_64/initramfs-linux.img  || goto retry
boot

I've tried using DHCP, BOOTP, and even attempted to set a static IP (which works, but I can't add a nameserver). Can someone help me troubleshoot and fix this issue?

Have looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Preboo … PXE_server ?

Re: [SOLVED] ipxe and archlinux issue

for clarity :

your pxe server has the correct archlinux entries in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default ?

This is probably beyond my skill level and the forum doesn't look like the appropriate place .

I don't know who could help, but the members of the releng project may be able to help or get you in contact with people that can.

Try asking on Arch-releng mailing list .
