Limited network card support was what drove me to use Grub2 (current) as opposed to Grub Legacy (what you’re using from RetHat) for my netboot solution.  I used this: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.98.tar.gz (current released version)  Also useful will be the manual:  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html

Subject: pxegrub

 

I’m currently using RHEL 5.4 64bit and I need to configure the pxegrub. I’ve downloaded the version of source code from RedHat (grub-0.97-13.5-src.rpm) and when I execute “./configure –enable-diskless” I get you need to select the proper network device. My Ethernet device is not listed as one of the options (Broadcom Corp NetXtreme BCM 5754).

 

I’m needing to PXE boot and pass by means of PXE the “grub.conf” from “/tftpboot” vice from the hard drive.

 

Thanks,
