Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.: PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 0 DEFAULT alldrvrs.lil In the above example, 'alldrvrs.lil' is the etherboot image. I run into trouble if syslin...

...kernel, so I have been working with a 2.2.21 kernel. With both motherboards, dhcp manages to communicate the IP addresses, after which tftpd starts. But nothing happens, and eventually I see timeout error messages and failure. One thing I tried was to use different values for the --ip option in mknbi, e.g. "rom", "none", and the long form IP-host:IP-client:gateway:broadcast:client-name, with no different result. What I thought was happening is that tftpd-hpa cannot find the kernel, but it does find it when the kernel is too large. However, the configuration I am using is a...

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

...work OK originally but in some cases I am now getting some flaky effects. I just finished two tests with the Intel board as client. In one I booted using the boot agent built into the network interface card and pxelinux.0; in the other I booted with the bootrom on a floppy and a kernel made from mknbi. Also, the dhcpd.conf file differed in the two, I haven't tried to work that out yet. In both tests I ran tcpdump. With pxe, boot failed as before. The last line produced by tcpdump was repeated several times and maybe would have gone on forwever if I had not cut it off: ---------------------...

Folks: I've used etherboot to create a zrom that successfully brings a image of a bootable floppy into high memory. What I'd like to do is glue memdisk in so that it can hook int13 and serve the transferred image for booting when etherboot hands control back to the BIOS. The trick, and this is where I'd appreciate "gotchas", pointers or "this is an approach I

Hello, Is there any possibility pxelinux could have the ability to pull its kernel/ramdisk/disk images/etc via http instead of tftp? I would really like the ability to pxe boot a machine, have it tftp pxelinux and its config file. Then, all the files listed in the config file are pulled via http.

Hello there. I use (and love!) your syslinux software - also pxelinux and soon isolinux. I have been using it for build deployment purposes for some time now, however I recently updated my kernel and added some additional drivers to it, making it too large to fit on a floppy along with my ramdisk. This is no problem for my PXE-enabled clients, of course, but for those machines that do not

I tried using mknbi-linux on the kernel and all that does is cause a weird rainbow ascii filled screen when the kernel tries to boot. Should I be doing anything special to the kernel in enable this feature, besides the kernel configuration changes? I did an 'rdev linux /dev/nfs' on the kernel. Thanks Thursd...

...erstood this stuff, that will load the whole initial Ramdisk into another one at a higher region of Memory and destroy the initial one. I tried the driver with memdisk, but the driver complained, that it could find the initial RAMDISK. Than I tried to build a disk Image with the tools from NETBOOT mknbi-dos but it wouldn't boot because I think they are building some kind of bootsector the memdisk don't like. Like I said at the Top, I don't think it is a command.com problem rather than a problem with the Bootsector of the Image in use. I tried this stuff with dd, mkdosfs, copying all...
