[Voyage-linux] Fwd: Voyage current fails to boot PXE

[Christian H.]

Hi all.

As I am new to the whole mailinglist thing I accidentally sent my response directly to Punky.
You can find it below.

I used the time to test a little bit more - the result is the following:

i am unable to install on of the following versions due to the hang at "switching to clocksource tsc": 
- 0.8.5 (without "ethdevice=eth0" and also with "ethdevice=eth0" added to pxelinux.cfg/default)
- 0.9-rc1 (even with "ethdevice=eth0" added to pxelinux.cfg/default)
- current

Another thing that got my attention was that there is an error booting up the live cd of *current: something like "fast TSC calibration failed".
But I don't know if is related.

Again: I hope we find a way to install voyage via pxe!

BR
Christian
