Hello all, I was reading http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/autobootchainurl, and figured that as long as I was going to be modifying the code I might as well try a cleaner solution. ?Attached to this message is a patch that makes the following changes: 1) Allow the "dhcp" command to accept a list of interfaces and to try them in order until it succeeds,...

...-n port 67 or port 68' on the physical host, the VM powers on, boots up, and attempts to PXE boot. However, I never see any traffic on the physical host's vnet0 interface, nor does the DHCP server log any requests. If I boot the VM, then hit Ctrl-B to drop into gPXE's prompt and type autoboot, the first invocation fails, but the second one succeeds. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior ? Is this indicative of a configuration issue on the physical host? An underlying network problem ? Or am I missing an option on my command-line ? I'm a little stumped here, and hoping someone can...

Hi,... my linux distribution is "arch-linux" and I use syslinux 6.03 to boot this system. I have the following line in syslinux.cfg: "MENU AUTOBOOT Automatischer Start in # Sekunde{,n}" While the boot timer counts down, on the last second the menu shifts to the right (one less character to display). This is completely harmless, but is very annoying, once you have seen it. I would suggest that these line should have a left hand position,...

Hi, I've seem to hit the roof of "MENU ROWS". I've got 15 entries in the menu, and thus I've set "MENU ROWS 15" in my cfg. But that makes the TABMSG get partly written over the last entry. Also, the AUTOBOOT message gets written over the bottom border of the menu. I get these results with boot versions 3.62 and 3.70 of syslinux. Is this a bug, or is it possible to configure the TABMSG and AUTOBOOT message to appear lower down? Thanks!

Using FTP to configure 501. Gets past "Running... App = sip.ld" and: Welcome! Processing configuration... "This may take a few seconds." Then it displays: Config file error Error is 0x4020 and reboots continuously, repeating the above. Anyone seen this before? Is this a corrupt *.ld file? An FTP error? (PASV)? A missing SETUP setting? Thanks! -- Jim Rice by Design

Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk destabilizing the 2.07 release for: Changes in 2.08: * Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

...ink it's necessary to make it clear that it's not part of my stuff to keep the support load under control. I see a couple of possibilities: a) Inclusion with the syslinux source in a contrib/ directory, with subdirectories for different components, e.g. syslinux-<version>/contrib/autoboot for Murali's autoboot stuff. + Very easy to find. - Tied to syslinux release cycle. b) A separate syslinux-contrib tarball. + Still pretty easy to find. + Not necessarily tied to syslinux release cycle. - One more thing to get. - No easy way for the user to know ahead of time what t...

...lty trying to figure out how to get a computer to boot from it's local disk automatically after the pxe menu times out. I installed syslinux-3.11-4 with yum onto CentOS 5.5 It boots to the local disk if I select Local from the menu and press enter but it never times out and boots localy. The AUTOBOOT message doesn't appear either. Which instructions in the PXELINUX Wiki (http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX) am I not understanding correctly? Here's my files and directory structure: /tftboot/menu.c32 /tftboot/menu.cfg /tftboot/pxelinux.0 /tftboot/CentOS5.5-netboot-vml...

No, it gets not re-centered. That is my point. > "MENU AUTOBOOT Automatischer Start in # Sekunde(n)" > > Please note the changes, from curly brackets to round brackets and > no comma. That is actual a smart workaround. Thanks! I like not to be too pedantic, but a "re-centering" of those lines still would be nice... Thanks Stefan --

I''m running Xen on Nexenta Core, and I haven''t yet figured out how to control which DomU''s are started with svcadm enable svc:/system/xvm/domains:default. virsh doesn''t seem to be available with Nexenta Core, so I''d rather edit the configuration files by hand. However, I''ve found neither OpenSolaris or Nexenta documentation on how this is

What I'd like to do is to display an image via "DISPLAY foo.scr" where foo.scr contains "^L^Xfoo.img", then wait a second or two, then autoboot, all without displaying the boot: prompt. I don't think that is possible ATM, because as soon as you set PROMPT 0 it boots immediately, regardless of TIMEOUT setting. I can see a couple of ways to do this; one is to change ui.inc so that TIMEOUT is still taken in to account. The other might...

...ive. My previous statement was partially incorrect as I did find a scenario to the contrary. I tried with FDD then CD at the top of the list and tried with both just disabled (without reordering first). I tried with the SATA controller in ATA, AHCI and RAID/IRRT mode. I tried letting the laptop autoboot to PXE with the order of the remaining items as PXE, USB, HDD and PXE, HDD, USB. I tried manually booting PXE in these same two orders plus USB, PXE, HDD. This is a total of 30 scenarios that I tested. I found that the HDD was assigned 0x80 only when in ATA or AHCI mode, autobooting to PXE, with...
