[SOLVED] Memdisk Bootstrap Too Large To Load
-
Yeah, its been pretty hectic haha. I unfortunately will lose access to everything in 10 minutes until Monday. But I will implement the new tests Monday morning, and will be monitoring this thread throughout the weekend.

No problem. Do you by chance know where I could get a copy of this so I could test and maybe get a good solution for you?

No thank you!Dropbox Link: [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/4bgvm8h9l47zmw2/bootable.iso?dl=0[/url]
ISO Title: bootable.iso
File Size: 933MBI can upload the PXEDIR files as well when I get home. The IBM tool let me download the ISO as well as a PXE implementation option which I have no clue how to add.

I’m back online! Were you able to get any progress?
-
I downloaded the file, and that was about the extent of my progress. I’m sorry. I was doing house chores that needed being done.
-
Haha, no worries. Completely understandable. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this sucker.

[SOLVED]
edit: sorry currently writing up docs/tutorial for how I got it to work. I will post a link to it when I finish.
Thanks for all the help! Especially @Tom Elliot, got me thinking.

How?
-
I had to chain boot pxe to ipxe using the pxelinux.0 but not the pxelinux.0.old but one that was provided by ibm in the pxedir folder.
It boots to the ipxe.krn and launches the grub.cfg which then loads img2a and img3a.
(From our conversations) akwan stated this. It’s quite convoluted, but it works.
