PXE Install

[manpreet]

Has anyone tried using PXE boot and install on ODroid-N2

 

I have 12 Odroid-N2s, I want to install them automatically over network using FAI, I can seem to find a way to do that, actually I am currently unable to even boot the armbian kernel using netboot

First one using ODroid n2 kernel from forums boots

Second one using ODroid n2 kernel from armbian doesnt boot.

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 significantly raises chances that issue is getting addressed.

 

Are you using the same kernel? If you want the same feature on a modern kernel its usually related to costs.

Not starting yet this is to install armbian over network without using the image file.
