But it is in wiki page Hardware_Compatibility. Check out the neighborhood. If there is a place to - for once - state how a "normal" partition table should look like, then there.

Hello, I have a problem with our DELL E6510 notebooks (BIOS version A05): 1. After the update from syslinux-3.71 to 4.02 LOCALBOOT no longer works. I've read <http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility#LOCALBOOT_on_Dell_Latitude_E6400> and neither version works. The behavior differs between the laptop rebooting automatically and getting stuck. I checked all versions up to 6.02, which finally makes it work again thanks to 398cee85e1835b77e1b83a01fc20587bee8cc578 "PXELINUX: implement our ow...

...p3. My clients are all Lenovo/IBM E73 Workstations with latest bios. My config is: LABEL disk LOCALBOOT 0 unfortunately this is not working. I tried all 5 options to localboot 1,2,3... as well as chainloading with chain.c32 like described in the wiki: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility#LOCALBOOT It seems that this is a known problem on certain hardware. Are there any other workarounds available? Any help is greatly appreciated. Stefan

Ive got a soekris 4801 on which Ive used pxelinux... its bios is set to go to pxeboot 1st, then localboot. Ive got: label bootlocal MENU label ^9 Boot Local localboot 0 # timeout 80 # TOTALTIMEOUT 9000 but using hangs: Booting from local disk... PXE-M0F: Exiting MacPhyter PXE ROM. then nothing. the same compact flash image works fine when boot order is 80 1st, or

Hi all, I'm new here so bear with me. I am working on a project at work where we are replacing 1000+ Dell servers. When a new Dell server is delivered to one of our remote offices it will PXE boot off of the existing Dell server and install openSuse and then configure itself. We also PXE boot windows PCs in the remote offices so we needed a way to assign a large range of MAC addresses to a
