Hi, I have an Elitebook but I am unable to even load the kernel or get to a point where user interaction is posible. The bootloader reboots the machine just before or after the amount of memory is shown. Anyone with simliar problems an newer HP notebooks? Gr Matthias

Hi there, I have experienced problems on HP Elitebook 2560p and 8460p latest firmware installed: 2560p 68SSU ver. F50. 08/04/2014 8460p 68SCF ver. F50. 08/04/2014 PXE boot, syslinux.efi gets perfectly TFTP transferred, it nevers asks for ldlinux.e64, and immediately gives up. I have traced the problem to: /syslinux-6.03/efi/udp.c\core_udp_open()...

The opposite though, could potentially be a valid concern: updating to a newer firmware version while the (current) OS migh...

Hello, I'm considering the HP EliteBook 6930 or the Dell Latitude e6400 notebooks for CentOS. I'm planning on using these in a situation in which they are always on, and I want low power and low noise and high reliability. HP claims up to 24 hours battery power and Dell up to 19 hours. I figure this can bridge the gap for most p...

Presumably it should also provide TCPv4Sb (rather than being on a separate handle). -- -Gene <<< What I've found: (from older to newer hardware) 1) There's not "any" SB protocol present (Elitebook 8460p/2560p) 2) SB protocols are loaded under a different that LoadeImage's DeviceHandle, while Pxebc is loaded under the LoadeImage's DeviceHandle.

Hello. I've been testing pxelinux.0 (4.04-pre14) on some laptops: - HP EliteBook 6930P with BIOS F.18. - HP EliteBook 8440P with BIOS F.06. - Dell Latitude E4310 with BIOS A06. When booting pxelinux.0, the machines first display some random letters in different colors and then reboot. We've been using 4.02 for some time without problems. I've tested 4.03 too and it s...

Hi there, I can't boot my new Laptop (HP Elitebook 840 G) with CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1804.iso. Boot proccess stops very quick with kernel panic. Is there a ISO-Image with more recent kernel, maybe 4.17 from elrepo? Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Kind regards Andreas Reschke

Shamelessly, and off-topic, but not _that_ much... :) For several months we have seen reports (of different matters) here in the Syslinux Mailing List in which some HP model(s) have been having problems network-booting (in UEFI mode; I don't recall
