I am trying to setup PXE boot for Ubuntu live CD. This is a customized version of Ubuntu 12.04 created using remastersys backup option
As the server, I have a Windows 7 machine: using TFTPD version 4.00 and haneWIN NFS server 1.2.6
IP of this server is 198.168.1.1
This is what my pxe config looks like
kernel sdi-backup/casper/vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/sdi initrd=sdi-backup/casper/initrd.gz -- verbose
This is my NFS exports file
C:\tftp\netboot\sdi-backup -name:sdi -maproot:0 -range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20
My TFTP server settings are:
http://i48.tinypic.com/24d1ylt.jpg
My DHCP server settings are:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2l8ku2r.jpg
Note that even though screenshot contains a 192.168.0.6 interface address, I disable that interface before I test. Only active interface is 192.168.1.1 and there is no other DHCP server on the network. In fact, network consists of these two machine connected directly to each other.
When the other machine on the networks boots up, it is able to find the servers and loads vmlinuz and initrd correctly.
As further booting starts, the client machine shows this message
IP-Config: no response after 3 seconds - giving up
IP-Config: eth0 hardware address [MAC address] mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
This message gets repeated with increasing value of time and then there is a kernel panic since booting cannot continue.
The server on the other hand shows these messages
<netboot\sdi-backup\casper\initrd.gz>: sent 39540 blks, 20244389 bytes in 19 s. 0 blk resent [11/10 10:30:07.887]

Please help me figure out what is going wrong here and how can I get this PXE boot working.
