We have a lot of diskless Linux clients which are booting via PXELINUX or ETHERBOOT. The problem is that they are on for 24 hours and APM PowerSave mode works for ETHERBOOT only. But in the future we want to use PXELINUX only, which seems to have no features for APM or ACPI PowerSave included. Would it be possible to integrate such features in PXELINUX or is there a way to boot a special image

Hi, I know this isn't the right list for this but I figured that at least you guy's have done some similar things. After messing about with PXElinux, I'm only a hairs breath away from finishing. My problem comes from program files that the Kernel boots to, so init=/sbin/init or init=/bin/bash. If I boot to bash the console of the remote PC just dies right after the section

Hiya, Just joined the list and started using pxelinux. Very cool product!!! I searched the, 8+ MB, archives looking for multicast entries. I know that the pxelinux page says that the support of mtftp in pxelinux isn't in the works but I'm not sure how old/relavant that comment is. I have noticied some comments from H.P.A. describing the difficulties in doing MTFTP. Are there any plans to

I?ve got a 512M machine and a 330M ( uncompressed ) initrd image. How can I mount the ramdisk? Normal booting seems to want to copy the entire initrd image into a Ramdisk, thus requiring 2X the memory. So what happens is the kernel boots correctly and I get, RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 330000 blocks [ 1 disk ] into ram disk And then I never see the light of day after

I would like to be able to create a 2.88MB bootable floppy image to hold the kernel and initrd -- will be used for automated install. In various newsgroups there have been many posting attempting to describe how to achieve this, but none of them is complete. Can syslinux be used to achieve this? What about memdisk? Thank you in advance. Fet

hi: i try to make some images for pxelinux+memdisk. the version i try is 2.0.6 and 2.0.7pre5 for 2.88M floppy image, first i make a 1.44M boot floopy, then use "winimage" to load the disk and transfer it to 2.88M format, then save the image. it seems a easy way to make a 2.88M boot image. for harddisk image, i use vmware to build a virtual machine with 20M harddisk, make it boot
