PXE Boot Proxmox












0














I followed this guide to set up a PXE server on an ubuntu VM. Instead of the DHCP server on that same server though, I just configured OPNSense to use that server.



I made the boot image using this script and put the initrd.img and linux26 file in /var/www/boot/proxmox.



I have an apache webserver with the root at /var/www. The tftp server is set to root /var/lib/tftpboot. I copied the proxmox directory (containing initrd.img and linux26) into both /var/www and /var/lib/tftpboot.



I have OPNSense to use pxelinux.cfg/default as the default bios filename (located in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default).



But when I try to use another VM to boot using the server, it gets to the point where it gets a DHCP lease, shows me the network info, then doesn't do anything.



VM failed to boot



Contents of pxelinux.cfg/default: (I confirmed that the files listed here are accessible).

How can I get past this point?
