I would like to develop a system where by I can boot any of the machines on my system - and select from a menu what I would like that particular client to do. For example, maybe load a bootdisk image from a network share, and boot that. Or boot the first partition on the local disk.

...p loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to use menu.c32 but did not succeed. <snip> ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2005 13:46:19 +0100 From: Alexander Heinz <mailsanmich@gmx.li> Subject: Re: [syslinux] PxeLinux menu.c32 chaining > multinet.bs is a 3COM bootstrap loader V1.10 which also supports menus, but no chain loading. multinet.bs is configured to directly load a DOS bootfloppy image without showing a menu. > # Dos multinetwork > LABEL DOS >...

Hello! Usually pxelinux loads everything from the same tftpserver. Is there a way to load kernel_A from tftpserver_A and kernel_B from tftpserver_B? Thanks. Alex

Hello! I am trying to boot from the MBR of my hard disk using PXELinux. here is the (relevant) part of my pxelinux.cfg/default LABEL harddisk KERNEL chain.c32 append hd0 All I get is a single dot and then the boot process stops. What am I doing wrong? Alex

Hello! There is a floppy image from 2003 for testing video cards at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/vesatest/ If you are still interested, I will do some tests.. Alex

Hello! I use the latest version (3.0.8pre5) of PXELinux, menu.c32 and chain.c32 Everything worked fine with my test-PC (when WinME was installed on the hard disk): There is a working menu item for hard disk boot (chain.c32 hd0). I have deleted the partition table and installed W2k (NTFS): now hard disk boot no longer works if I use PXELinux. :-( First I thought that there is something wrong

Hello! I would like to add the syslinux mailing list to gmane.org so I can read it with my newsreader (I think it is more convenient). Is that ok? For more information go to http://www.gmane.org/ Cheers Alex

Hello! I own an Ipod shuffle (512MB) and I am having trouble booting from it using syslinux 3.10pre8 (I have not tested older versions). I guess the Ipod shuffle works just like an ordinary USB key with a FAT32 partition so I have read http://syslinux.zytor.com/usbkey.php. My BIOS identifies it as a hard disk, so I hope I do not have to modify the geometry. Windows assigns the drive letter

Hi! I have just tried to build menu.c32 but it fails. 3.20pre3 works fine though. Here is what happens: bash-3.1$ make gcc -m32 -mregparm=3 -DREGPARM=3 -W -Wall -march=i386 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -I../libutil/include -I../include -D__COM32__ -c -o menu.o menu.c menu.c: In function `run_menu': menu.c:549: warning: variable `done' might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'

Hello! I am trying to come up with a way to read a digit *before* the call is answered. My Asterisk version is 1.6.2.0-rc6 SIP early media works fine (I can receive and transmit audio before the call is answered), but as soon as I start the read application, Asterisk answers the call which is not what I want. Here is how to reproduce the problem: send incoming calls from a SIP provider that

Hello! ethersel.c32 does not seem to work with all PCs. I have prepared a floppy that uses ethersel.c32 to load a NIC-specific file (etherboot .zlilo image). See http://etherboot.anadex.de for details. It works with every NIC and every PC I own, but not with VMWare. I know VMWare has some problems, so that did not bother me at all and I published it anyway but I have received several e-mails

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

Hello! Is there a way to make an arrow-driven menu with pxelinux? Cheers Alex

Hello! I have outlined a proposal for a new feature of pxelinux in http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2004-December/004360.html (see the last couple of sentences) but nobody has commented it, so I am asking again: Imagine a company with a lot of departments and where network booting is widely used. Each department has different needs when it comes to operating systems. Because things
