Well, the hanging at the end was only due to the kernel param "console=ttyS0,115200n8". If I take it out, then the error message appears on the console again: "WARNING: Cannot find root file system!"<br>
<br>I'm still wondering how pxe can find ovirt-node-image.iso. It's located only under /usr/share/ovirt-node-image and given the size of initrd0.img (4537334 bytes), it's obviously not embedded into it.<br><br>
Did I miss a step in the installation which embeds ovirt-node-image.iso into initrd0.img? What is the size of your initrd0.img?<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 9:56 PM, Laurent Monnoye <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ktf000@gmail.com">ktf000@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've tried to boot that new profile "oVirt-Node-x86_64". This time I don't get the error message anymore. The system just hangs at the end (see console output attached). Is that expected? <br><div class="im">

I just added these parameters but with no success, same problem (I see
them on the console, so they are indeed being picked up).<br>
<br>
On the server, where should ovirt-node-image.iso be located? Maybe
that's my problem.<br>
<br>
Where are those parameters documented as part of the oVirt installation
guide? Did I miss them in the doc?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated!!!<br>

ovirt-node-image.iso should be under /usr/share/ovirt-node-image but in
the pxe case it's actually embedded in the initrd0.img file. Im
guessing some things are out of sync, I'd try running the
cobbler-import command which should setup a cobbler profile for you
named oVirt-Node-Image-$arch if that command fails capture the output
for us. If it succeeds verify if there are any files under
/usr/share/ovirt-node-image/tftpboot<br>
