Are there any open source efforts ( I haven't found any) that have a tftp server with a mysql backend? I'd like an incoming pxelinux request to give the tftp server the mac address, and then it performs a query to find out which configuration file it should get. Of course it would be great if some day tftp-hpa would integrate with libmysql.. Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE

Is there a simple well to test a menu after compiling rather than actually booting with it from pxe or off the cd? I guess it would run inside dosemu? Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE Contractor Administrative Office of the United States Courts Washington, DC (202) 502-2394

Using the latest version of syslinux/pxelinux.. When cold pxe booting a HP DL585 G2 (Broadcom NIC), if the pxemenu item is LOCALBOOT 0 and is selected, then a red screen with the following error occurs: Illegal OpCode EAX=000E09AC EBX=00000000 ECX=00000000 EDX=00000000 EBP=00004408 ESI=0000F000 EDI=000045E9 DS=F000 ES=0000 FS=0000 GS=0003 CS:EIP=1000:00000240

I know it's possible to set a DHCP parameter to tell pxelinux to use a mac address as the pxelinux cfg file name-- is it possible to tell it to use the IP it is being assigned as the filename?

I've now been able to test the simple.com in dosemu, worked fine. We provide a CD that has multiple kickstart configurations on it and users are prompted as to what type of server they want to build based upon the isolinux.cfg selections. My goal is to use Murlai's menuing system instead because the large number of configs is taking too much screen real estate. Looking at simple.c

I managed to install RHEL3 onto a 1GB USB key. I had to forgo using grub to get it to but, but am now using extlinux. It actually boots, but ends up panicking. Here's the console messages that should be of interest: usb.c: registered new driver hub Loading ehci-hcd.o module ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801EB USB2 ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: irq 23, pci mem f882b000 usb.c: new USB bus

I know that this is not a pxelinux/syslinux question (yet), but I am having a weird issue with a HP ML370. It is using HP UNDI PXE 2.1 (build 082) v 3.1.15 I successfully get an IP address from my DHCP server, but the machine fails when it attempts to make it's TFTP connection with: "PXE-E32 - TFTP Open timeout" It never gets the pxelinux.0 file. The odd thing I noticed was

Hi, We have some 100 Servers (includes both Intel and PPC based systems). Is there any way to easly install OS (different flavours of Linux) on these systems ? We do not have control over the DHCP Server settings so is there any way to do this with out touching the DHCP Server ? We have static IPs for all the systems. Regards, Naveen
