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, e.g.: ?gPXE> dhcp net0

Hi Folks, I'm trying to auto-create a VM using a kickstart server and gPXE with my VMs. The underlying physical host is CentOS 6.0 running libvirt-0.8.1-27, and libvirt-python 0.8.1-27, virt-manager 0.8.4-8. The underlying network config on the physical host is: # ip -o -4 addr show 1: lo inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 6: vnet0 inet 10.8.31.61/23 brd 10.8.31.255 scope global vnet0 7:

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

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

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.

Especially with Murali's stuff the question about how to handle contrib stuff that isn't part of the syslinux core has come up again. I think 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

I am having difficulty 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

Hello All, this is my first post so I'll try to be as verbose as possible. We have a PXE deployment server serving mostly fujitsu RX300 rack mount servers with Intel 82575EB Gigabit Ethernet Controllers onboard. I recently upgraded from version 4.07 to version 6.02 and, without making any edits to my default menu, immediately noticed a regression. I use vesamenu.c32 to present a menu to the

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

Hello, First, could you make a tar.gz instead of a tar.xz (at least on debian)? I compiled the syslinux-4.05+dfsg I would like to ask you if I shall copy the menu.elf + menu.c32 to the concerned directory? The menu.elf is needed or it shall be renamed as menu.c32 ? Shall ldlinux.sys be too coming from same file? my simple example of menu: default menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE Sample Menu

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

...ting 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 the FDD and CD boot enabled (4 scenarios). -- -Gene

Hello I want to fallback to a second boot entry, if the kernel is missing for the first entry. So I through I could use ONERROR, but syslinux just continue to try starting the first entry. Am I doing something wrong? or can't this be done with syslinux? default menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU HIDDEN MENU AUTOBOOT TIMEOUT 2 ONERROR live-generic label grub ??? menu label ^Grub ??? menu default

Gene, Ady thanks for your suggestions. >> What if you dropped the timeout to 0.8-2.0 seconds or even 0.2 seconds? I tried setting the delay to 2 seconds and 0.2 with no change in behavior. >> First, please be sure you are using all C32 modules from the exact same Syslinux version, including ldlinux.c32 and all lib*.c32 library modules, all located somewhere under the

Hello, This is my first post. Please forgive me if I am not posting this in the right location. I work at a college where we clone staff computer every now and then. We have an internal network in our office. There is a Linux NAT, DHCP, PXE server in our office separating the two networks. Internally, we PXE with images that boot into Ghost to clone computers. We do not have access to the
