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, all. I'm intending to install CentOS 7 on a HP Elitebook 8460p. Does anybody have any experience of this? Many thanks for any help. Cheers, Phil...

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()

Hi, all. I'm looking to install CentOS 7 to my HP Elitebook 8460p (Intel i5, 4gig of RAM, 250 HD). Has anybody had any experience with this laptop & CentOS 7? Many thanks for any help. Regards, Phil...

Hi Phil I have Fedora 20, Fedora21, and Fedora 22 installed on an HP Elitebootk Folio 1040. The only problem with Fedora 22 was, that anaconda required a GPT partition table to install an UEFI system. But after having changed from MBR to GPT partition table (using gdisk), no problems any more. I can not explain why anaconda required the UEFI installation: The SD-disk on the laptop is far less

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 power outages in my neighborhood. I realize that I

>>> I'm just debating what's the best algorithm here.? It would seem if the LoadeImage's DeviceHandle provides UDPv4Sb, use it as it's guaranteed to be the same interface.? Otherwise, we need a MNPSb (EFI_MANAGED_NETWORK_SERVICE_BINDING) that provides UDPv4Sb across the same interface.? Presumably it should also provide TCPv4Sb (rather than being on a separate

>>> > 1) There's not "any" SB protocol present (Elitebook 8460p/2560p) The only solution for these is to use our own stack (likely full TCP/IP like lwIP) and connect to the Net GUID (EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL).? Does the handle for Pxebc contain a Net?? >>> It does contain a Net but there are 2 issues with SNP: 1) The interface is different than

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 seems to work.

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
