search for: mybootdir

Hi! As documented: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX When pxelinux "boots" it is looking for this: /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0...

...d progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try again. Ultimately, it will try looking for a file named "default" (in lower case). As an example, if the boot file name is /mybootdir/pxelinux.0, the UUID is b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d, the Ethernet MAC address is 88:99:AA:BB:CC:DD and the IP address 192.0.2.91, it will try: /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000...

I intend to release SYSLINUX 3.73-pre7 as SYSLINUX 3.73 as soon as possible. Please let me know if there are any outstanding bugs with 3.73-pre7 that either haven't been reported or I have forgotten about... it's been a while. -hpa

Currently, the TFTP configuration file discovery process will request a set of files based on the UUID, MAC address, lease IP address and eventually fall back to "default": /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B [...] /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default When serving PXE config files to machines of different architectures (requiring separate boot im...

Hi This is what I like to be able to do. 1. Computer boot on LAN, using PXELinux. 2. If the computer is booting for the first time it sends MAC adr, RAM, size of harddrive and name of videocard to a shared folder on a computer, maybe a server, that is attached to the network. 3. If this is not the first time it scan for a new task, could be a new ghostimage or an unattended installation of a

Hello all, I understand that during PXE boot, it goes into the pxelinux.cfg and it states: 1. "it will search for the config file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B (you can use the included progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try
