Hi everyone,
We recently have deployed Cobbler and its working very well for us. I am
having some trouble getting some images to work correctly with memdisk
though and was hoping I might be able to get some advice.
For example, I have tried adding the image using the following methods:
cobbler image add --name=UltraPro --file=/tftpboot/hw/ultrapro.img
--image-type=memdisk
cobbler image add --name=UltraPro --file=/tftpboot/hw/ultrapro.img
--image-type=direct
cobbler distro add --name=UltraPro --kernel=/tftpboot/memdisk
--initrd=/tftpboot/hw/ultrapro.img
(I assume this one is incorrect the the above methods are the way to go.)
In all cases, the kernel loads but it appears that right when it goes to
execute the program, it just hangs at a black screen.
I thought it might be the version of memdisk, so I downloaded
syslinux-3.73 and compiled a new memdisk - though that did not seem to
do anything.
I do have memdisk working fine with a memtest.img, but when trying to
use several other .img files (Such as this UltraPro img of a floppy, and
various others) I am getting this issue.
Thanks for any input, I appreciate it.
Cheers,
Pete Eby

Hi Pete,
Sorry for my ignorance here, but what's an ultrapro?
You might want to try asking this on the syslinux mailing list -- but it
may also not be the right kind of image, don't know.
I'd be sure to share your options from
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/filename to show what you are passing to
it if that is the case.
Some one else may have some other ideas.
I have, for what it's worth, only tried it with memtest as well.
