Hello All, I seem to be having a problem with PXE under the 3com MBA once the pxe loads the standard redhat 7.2 lilo prompt and I type my label which is a4-72 and hit enter, I get: Loading vmlinuz... and it stops most of the time. Sometimes it loads and once it gets to the part of installing linux the screen turns red and I get "interrupt handler not syncing" Thanks -- Otis DeWitt -

...start booting at all. It's not depend on kernel size or version, probably on kernel config or some magic. But there are kernels which boot anytime and kernles which boot never. How can i set debug/verbose mode in PXELINUX? This computer is based on dual pentium pro and PXE is used via 3com 3c905-TX-M, server is running debian stable with thttpd-hpa and i tried several versions of pxelinux. Thanks for your replies.

...chives for discussions pertinent to our situation. My search for "slow DOS client" produced over 100 hits dating back to the last millennium, some of which were really about something else. Many of the rest were descriptions of problems VERY similar to ours, including some with the 3Com 3C905 card. This question appeared over and over again, but following the list "threads" for a couple of hours revealed very few answers or ideas. Either nobody solved the problem, or nobody posted the solution when they found it. Exceptions were - * A suggestion about matching full/half dup...

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hello! I have an old Dell Latitude C800 laptop (with Pentium3 CPU in it). FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE was running fine on it, but I decided to update the machine to 9.1-STABLE. Well, neither my own custom kernel, nor even the official 9.1-RELEASE CD1 would boot... In both cases the boot process runs up to detecting uhub0, then either hangs forever or shuts off after a short while. Again, I thought I

Hello ! I'm having serious problems with Samba's writing speed (both 2.0.5a from RH 6.1 and 2.0.6 compiled from sources) on a 100Mbit network. If I write a file with block size 65487 or less, then the writing speed is about 7-8 MB/s - a very nice value, my bow to the Samba team :) If I change the block size to 65488 or more, then the writing speed falls down to 3 MB/s, which is not what

We've found some interesting problem with some Fujitsu-Siemens PCs using pxelinux: The PCs are "FS Scenico L" with Athlon XP 1800+ CPUs and Via KT266 chipset. We tried to boot off pxe using pxelinux 2.09/2.10 with several 3com 3c905-* cards. The PCs loaded the kernel but right after "Uncompressing linux..... Ok, now booting the kernel" they completely hang. No matter what kernel we used. The network cards worked in different PCs. Finally we found the solution: In the bios (PhoenixBIOS Version 4.06) in "Advanced...

...nux kernel/initrd that exhibits the same symptoms. In the case of FreeBSD it loads pxeboot.0, and then spews messages about not being able to open pxenet0, etc. After trying on various machines, with various nics, I tried a known good machine and it failed as well. The nic's ranged from 3com 3c905/intel pro 100/1000, realtek onboard, and a sis onboard. I rolled back to pxelinux.0 v 3.30 which worked, then moved up to v 3.31 which also works as expected. I did not try stepping through the betas as I don't have the time at this moment, although I may be able to do that tomorrow. The o...

Just to throw this out there for the group. I had a box of OEM SMC NICs and have been using them in all systems I build including * boxes. They seem to work great in Windows machines and even plain old Linux workstations but apparently not all that well when realtime is required. I would get random and usually sparse disconnects and lose registrations with phones and IAX peers. I kept getting

...ecognized, that samba is very, very, very slow if MS-Access tries to access another MS_Access Database on the Linux Box, powerd with Samba. Normally I have tranfers between 3.500 and 4.500 kbytes/sec (writing) and 2.500 to 3.500 kbytes/sec (reading)! THe Client is a Athlon K7/1000 with 256MB and a 3C905 NIC running Win2K.

Thank in advance for all Bernhard

Hi, After trying too long I fixed the problem below by reverting to the old 3c905 NIC. Problem solved but not understood. I had a similar 3c2000 NIC in another Samba server and it also failed to copy a large amount (5000+) of files. So that's two completely servers (hardware and Samba / Slackware version) having the same problem with any number of different clients. I could...

(mind you: all other workstations worked just fine, it was just this one el cheapo barebone). There was also no problem in reaching another Samba server with an 100 MB 3c905 NIC. I then tried updating to Samba 3.0.4 but still no luck. Had fun though with updating the recycle bin etc ... I then tried using a different PC also with a Realtek 8139 card: same problem! So I put another NIC in the offending machine and presto: everything worked just fine. Can someone expl...

Ok.. Just for the record, I STAND CORRECTED! The problem does appear to be NT.. The thing that irritated me was that nobody was interested in giving any backup data! Everyone just wanted to blindly admit that it must be NT. Ok.. Enuf bitching.. On to the better stuff... Anyway, David Mansfield and I are trying to narrow down the machine configurations where this happens.. Currently, we've
