Hi, I have been testing replacing pxelinux.0 with gpxelinux.0. With normal network boot targets such as: label recovery kernel vmlinuz-amazon-ramdisk append initrd=amazon-ramdisk.img.gz ramdisk_size=358400 ramdisk_blocksize=1024 root=/dev/ram0 mem=16G gpxelinux.0 works fine, booting from TFTP. ( Working my way into a migration to HTTP ) However when I try to boot local, which works with the pxelinux.0 loader but not gpxelinux.0: label local localboot 0 I get: Booting from local disk... No more network devices PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. And the box hangs there indefinitely. Is there different syntax for gpxelinux.0 to boot from the local machine vs network? Bryan Seitz

I would really appreciate it if you could give me as many details as possible about your system. You probably can use chain.c32 (kernel chain.c32 / append hd0) as a workaround. -hpa

I remember vaguely something about DMI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Management_Interface ) but contains it the requested details? And if so, which tool to use?
