What mix? My understanding was "localboot" is a built-in command - e.g. "localboot -1" in a menu.c32 configuration as I mentioned. There's no apparent fetch attempt for...

I just picked up 3.10-pre15 and the "PXELINUX corrupts graphic filename referenced from DISPLAY file" bug is zapped. Yipee! Thanks hpa. And Arwin too, if that 'xor esi,esi' was the crux. However, LOCALBOOT -1 and LOCALBOOT 0 don't work the same as they did for me in 3.07. :-( 3.07: LOCALBOOT -1 apears to work as I have a hard disk listed in bios boot order after the net card. LOCALBOOT 0 also works fine by booting the disk as specified. 3.10-pre15: LOCALBOOT -1 causes the system to reboot....

...ate as it comes. The UEFI boot order has the hard drives and OS ESPs before the PXE interfaces (the default). A boot-from-cold loads the OS no problem. Here's what I've tried so far: * chain.c32 - doesn't work, as expected... just throws a 0D General Protection Exception. * "localboot 0" and "localboot -1" - If I perform a "one time boot from PXE", the system starts PXE and loads syslinux.efi OK, and via menu.c32 displays my menu and starts a countdown. If it expires or I choose the "localboot" option, the menu simply restarts (loops, appears...

Hi, I'm trying to get the LOCALBOOT option to work with syslinux. I have a bootable USB that boots using syslinux and when ever I select the localboot label it says that it could not find the kernel image. This is my syslinux set up LABEL start localboot 0x80 and when I type "start" at the boot prompt this is what I...

Hi, we use PXELINUX in our product to show a boot menu on client computers, with options like "Boot from local hard disk", "Install Windows", etc. Unfortunately, a lot of computers seem to have broken BIOSes and won't boot with the LOCALBOOT command, and need to be booted with chain.c32 instead. We also have encountered some computers where it works only the other way - chainloading does not work, while LOCALBOOT works fine. To solve this issue, we have written a Lua script that uses the DMI data of the computer to decide whether it s...

Hi, I just found this post: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-September/005814.html ONTIMEOUT was broken in menu.c32, and you fixed it. But the fix broke support for LABEL references in ONTIMEOUT. I changed my "ONTIMEOUT local" to "ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1" and it works! Anoying is that I tried ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 before. This failed, but after having a look at the source code seeing that you compare the kernel arg to ".localboot" I figured that might be it. And it was... :) My entire config follows: DEFAULT menu.c32 PROMPT 0...

How to boot from syslinux 6.01 over PXE (syslinux.efi) into an EFI installed GPT system on a hdd? Via localboot 0 it doesn't work. (no output) Also via chain.c32 hd0 1 it doesn't work. Errormessage: Can not find MBR magic, treat hdd as raw disk. Stop booting.

Hi, all I can't boot from local drive on some machines(thinkpad x200 and thinkpad x1 carbon) using syslinux 3.05 or syslinux 4.05. And i change localboot 0xffff to localboot 0x80, boot from local drive is available. I find "0x80 is the primary hard drive. The special value -1(0xffff) causes ISOLINUX to report failure to the BIOS, which, on recent BIOSes, should mean that the next device in the boot sequence should be activated" on syslinu...

A bug in command localboot was introduced in version 6.03. This bug was created because of inserting memsets in core/localboot.c. The third memset before /* Read one sector */ clears the field ireg.edx, which was assigned earlier and is required for subsequent __intcall0x13. So localboot type works as localboot 0. I think,...

Hi! A friend of mine has tried a PXE floppy (build from the new etherboot 5.3.12) to load PXELINUX.0; a menu voice of the pxelinux.cfg use the LOCALBOOT statement. Selecting this statement, the PC retry to boot from the floppy... is this normal? The user expected that LOCALBOOT would have tried the NEXT boot device (ie CDROM or HD), not the FIRST boot device (the floppy)... (note: this has been tried this on a couple of PC...) Bye! -- Paolo S...

...you (still)? Yes. Whether with or without USB device plugged in, BIOS can boot to Windows on fixed HD . I set boot preference to USB first, so with USB plugged in, I press F12 to change BIOS boot order.

Summary ======= I am having trouble with com32 API call AX=0014h [3.10] Local boot [PXELINUX, ISOLINUX] Input: AX 0014h DX Local boot parameter Output: Does not return My observation is that is returning from the call and is not localbooting the system. Detail ====== I am using a com32 program to configure some hardware before I boot from the local hard disk. If I have multiple labels in my pxelinux.cfg/default file then I can successfully localboot after my com32 program returns ... as in: DEFAULT foo LABEL foo KERNEL foo.c32...

I have been using PXELINUX, with "LOCALBOOT 0" when wanting to boot from disk, for many years. Now on new Dell Optiplex 990 machines, PXE boot with "LOCALBOOT 0" hangs after message Booting from local disk... without the expected "Exiting PXE" message. I tried "LOCALBOOT -1" and some other values also, no...
