I have an existing PXE boot set up running on Raspbian Jessie for CentOS. I'm trying to add Debian. I started with the 'netboot.tar.gz'. The Virtual box vm (SCSI controller) boots off the network and will install manually without problems when using an internet mirror. My goal is to use my private HTTP mirror with a preseed file to automate the installation. The installer works (automated) until it gets to detecting the hard disks when it fails saying it can't find a hard disk.
In 'debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/txt.cfg' I have the following config:
Code: Select all
label install
menu label ^Install
kernel debian-installer/amd64/linux
append vga=788 initrd=debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz locale=en_GB keymap=gb protocol=http hostname=dhcp domain=dhcp auto url=http://192.168.0.2/preseed/debian.cfg --- quiet
I've tried exiting to the shell from the installer and loading available modules without being able to see a hard drive. I've also tried adding 'module=' to the append line above without success. I'm guessing there is a subtle difference between using my own private mirror and an internet mirror. I created the mirror from the DVDs and it works when added to sources.list.
I would really appreciate some help with this.
