Hey Elmar and all else.
Okay, first and foremost, I am using MS Virtual Machine 2007. I am trying to setup a netboot for my laptop, and I am testing it with a VM to make sure it is up and running. I have attempted to use the newest version of Plop, the system will connect, download the bzimage, and the initrd.gz. From there a few additional messages popup and then VM crashes and a bug report is requested.
I still have copies of the old 3.18, which has ALWAYS been my most reliable version. It works with a VM from a disk of usb, and can do the same on any machine I plug it into. Now I am able to use 3.18 ISO distro as a folder for netboot, from there the bzimage and the initrd are pulled without issue. As well, I am using the pxelinex.0 from 4.1 since I do not have the oringinal for 3.18, though I don't know if that makes a difference. As well I have the samba mount pulling across the network. Linux begins to load, then it says Ploplinux not found on 192.168.2.3/ploplinux. This is a Window share folder with the sqsfs files in it from 3.18. There is no error from the samba mount message, but it still says plop is not there.
Could use some help getting the to load up. I want to have a net loadable OS for my laptop to pull from, that way I can take my OS around with access to wireless network. In the long run I just want to customize the xserver or fluxbox with my own setup and then run custom linux programs.
Thanks for looking
