boot fails after Loading initrd.img ...

[ragu]

Hello!

on ubuntu-10.04, PXE-boot after the message "Loading initrd.img .......... ready." fails. The LTSP-Client hangs
without any errors.
I ordered some Atom emachine-ez1600 PCs with realtek r8168B (ID 10ec:8168) onboard. In the past on
ubuntu-9.10 booting works.

I have tried different kernels and initrd.img and kernel with manually compiled realtek-driver
r8168-8.018.00.tar.bz2 and blacklisted r8169 as supposed in another thread,
no success.

Also I tried different tftp-Servers (tftpd-hpa, atftpd), no success.

please help!
I don't anymore know what to do.

thanks and bye!

can you try appending "break=top" to you pxelinux.cfg/default file?

The break should give you a shell in the initrd from which you should be able to do some more debugging.

You may also want to remove quiet and splash from it to get more output.
