I have a Dell 1550 that has Intel's 4.0.17 PXE 2.0 build 083. I am only able to boot using pxelinux 0.67 and older. 0.70 gets to where it would load the kernel and ramdisk and stops. Later releases just start spewing register data non stop: AX00000 BX00000 EX00000 and so on (numbers not real). Normally I would look at the code and try to fix this myself but my x86 asm skills are non existant. Any help I can provide just let me know.
0.67? that's a very old version. have you tried version 2.00?

Wait a minute, I reported to the list a while back with a problem on a FSC, and I recall that the Intel pxe code is the same exact version. Try the DELL site for updates to that BIOS. Maybe you can get lucky! -----Original Message----- From: Sean Perry [mailto:sean.perry at intransa.com] Sent: sexta-feira, 10 de Janeiro de 2003 18:52 To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: Re: [syslinux] help getting recent pxelinux to work On Friday 10 January 2003 01:54 am, Luis.F.Correia wrote:> 0.67? that's a very old version. > > have you tried version 2.00? > Get it here: > ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ >I am aware of the age, that is why I am trying to use a newer version. However *ANY* version newer than 0.67 fails. This includes 2.0. 2.0 and the later 0.7x series begins the boot and then I get: AX000 BX000 CX000 DX000 80000 over and over and over ..... We actually tried 2.0 first, then an 0.7x (I forget which maybe 0.75). Neither worked. So we decided to try the last one we tried a few months back which turned out to be 0.66. 0.67 worked. 0.70 failed with a hang. So this boils down to what functionality changed between 0.67 and 0.70? _______________________________________________ SYSLINUX mailing list Submissions to SYSLINUX at zytor.com Unsubscribe or set options at: http://www.zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/syslinux Please do not send private replies to mailing list traffic.
