pxeboot and VirtualBox

Post by ankithoney » 2017/08/22 16:40:26

Hi,

1. I am trying to pxeboot CentOS pxeboot images using my VirtualBox machine and getting the error "Failed to start switch root"
2. I manually executed the instruction in initrd-switch-root.service and got the below error:
"Specified switch root path /sysroot does not seems to be an OS tree". os_release file is missing.
3. My pxelinux.cfg/default file is:
default centos
prompt 1
timeout 15

display boot.msg

label centos
menu default
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img

4. The vimlinuz and initrd.img images I have downloaded from the below:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x8 ... s/pxeboot/
5. My VirutalBox VM has 2GB RAM and 100 GB of Disk attached to it.
VirtualBox Version: 5.1.14 r112924 (Qt5.6.2)

Please let me know to how solve this problem?
