Anyone have an idea if it would be a huge effort to get pxelinux to look for config files based on serial number (available in DMI on modern motherboards), much like we currently can use MAC address's. Lots of our hardware comes with the serial number stuck on the chassis but not the mac address. We'd like to move to pxelinux and still use the serial number as the key for figuring which

Hi All, I am going to be presenting a 45 minute session at Linux World in April on how to use PXELinux to provision linux systems, among other things. This probably isn't of value to most on the list, as it is geared towards giving new users a jumpstart on what's needed so that they can get up and going quickly along with some practical suggestions and tips. I'll be

Greetings all, Is there currently any mechanism in pxelinux the would send a mac address of the pxe booted interface through to the linux kernel much like ipappend can send the ip address? Kickstarting a system with multiple interfaces can be troublesome. ksdevice is helpful but only in some circumstances such as forcing eth0, but that doesn't always work since probe order changes depending

The systems that I purchased have SDHC slots on them, so I figured I''d attempt to install XCP to one of these cards.
