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

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.

did you read through this first?

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)

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

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

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.

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?

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
