PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - Vanderaatje - 05-30-2012 Dear All, I'm trying to get pxe boot working for an asrock ION 3d and an asrock vision 3d on a synology DS411SLIM running DSM 4.0 What I did is I installed the package dnsmasq configured it (i'm receiving an IP from dhcp) put the latest openelec kernel in folder (beta4) I added: APPEND ip=dhcp boot=NFS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/path to KERNEL & SYSTEM/ disk=NFS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/path to storage/ with the correct paths on the synology I created the mount points when I do a pxe boot I see it's loading the kernel and I see the splash screen but after that there is nothing happening When I add the command debugging I see it's not able to do the mounting Is there something what I do wrong? I have created more nfs mount points on the synology and when I run openelec from the locale ssd disk there is no problem Hope some one can help me Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - KillerKelvUK - 05-30-2012 Seeing as you've used the 'debugging' option have you tried manually mounting the storage folder from the bash after it errors? If the boot= is working this reads like a syntax issue somewhere in your disk= statement, either that or a NFS export funny. Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - lrusak - 05-30-2012 did you read through this first? http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Network_Boot_-_NFS Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - Vanderaatje - 05-30-2012 This is the line I'm using append ip=dhcp boot=NFS=192.168.1.4:/volume1/Netboot disk=NFS=192.168.1.4:/volume1/XBMC My export look like /volume1/Netboot *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534) /volume1/XBMC *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534) Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - KillerKelvUK - 05-30-2012 What happens if you switch the path used by the disk= to that of the boot= i.e. Code: append ip=dhcp boot=NFS=192.168.1.4:/volume1/XBMC disk=NFS=192.168.1.4:/volume1/Netboot *Obviously relocate the KERNEL and SYSTEM files into the XBMC directory.* Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - Vanderaatje - 05-30-2012 It's not working What I think is the kernel is loaded from dnsmasq setting (tftp-root=/Volume1/Netboot) and not from the NFS mount in my default file Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - Vanderaatje - 05-30-2012 Will try a clean reinstall I found this document that will maybe help me is about xbmc pxe booting from synology Thanks for your help Will let you know if I make some progress Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - lrusak - 05-30-2012 I don't know if your synology supports it but have you tried pxe booting via ISCSI? I use ISCSI to pxe boot from my freenas server and it works flawlessly. Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - Vanderaatje - 05-31-2012 Irusak just tried to install iscsi but I'm stuck again ARGHHH what I did is created a lun and target on my synology (that was easy) Did a test from windows 7 and I can connect to the target (yeahhh) But when I try to get it working on my asrock ion system (with openelec beta 4 on ssd disk) When I'm following the wiki i'm already stuck at aptitude install open-iscsi (command is not working on openelec system) When I do iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.1.4:3260 on my synology I get iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsiadm: Could not scan /sys/class/iscsi_transport. iscsiadm: Could not scan /sys/class/iscsi_transport. iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsiadm: Cannot perform discovery. Initiatorname required. iscsiadm: Discovery process to 192.168.1.4:3260 failed to create a discovery session. iscsiadm: Could not perform SendTargets discovery. any suggestions? Re: PXE boot Openelec from Synology NAS - lrusak - 05-31-2012 you'll need a linux machine to do it I guess. Kind of a lot of work ![]() You could boot a linux distribution in virtualbox and do it that way. you'll also need to put iPXE onto a usb drive if not using a TFTP server |
