To allow me to test Ubuntu Live I have been using same setup for the last 10 Years
PXE server using Debian
/srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL Ubuntu 18.04 Live
kernel ubuntu18/casper/vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.11.97.5:/srv/tftp/ubuntu18 initrd=ubuntu18/casper/initrd
Download iso live desktop and mount locally:
/etc/fstab:
/srv/tftp/ubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso /srv/tftp/ubuntu18 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0
ISO exported using nfs:
/etc/exports
/srv/tftp/ubuntu18 *(async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,ro)
but somehow ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso (2020-04-23) does not connect to the nfs share. connect: Network is unreacheable
NFS over TCP not available from 10.11.97.5
done.
Unable to find a live file system on the network
Looks like the interface does not bring up. If I compare the 18.04 and 20.04 releases, on the 20.04 it does not ask for an ip. IP-Config: lines missing.
