Hello, I wonder if it is possible to change pxelinux.0's tftp prefix... I want to setup a repository like that: |-- dist1 | |-- pxelinux.cfg | | `-- default | `-- pxelinux.0 |-- dist2 | |-- pxelinux.cfg | | `-- default | `-- pxelinux.0 |-- pxelinux.cfg | |-- default | `-- menu.c32 `-- pxelinux.0 The file /pxelinux.cfg/default would contain something like that: >

Hello there, I suceeded in setting up WDS with PXELinux. Now I'm trying to point the primary tftp server with pxechain.com to a second tftp server. Actually it will just load the specified kernel, which is given through APPEND. After that the tftp client just freezes. Do I need to start with another tftp? The actual used tftp (and DHCP) server comes from Win2008 R2 Server. (Using Syslinux

I know quite a few people have interest in internationalizing the menu system. This is a tricky problem, since have a full-blown rendering engine for the more complex languages (Indic, Semitic and East Asian languages being the main ones that have substantial complexities.) Given that, I was thinking that the most sensible thing might be to pre-render strings (basically menu items and

...to hand out different values for the pxelinux.configfile option to specific clients, matching on MAC address or a variety of other conditions. Of course, this means that the config file for that machine will need to know what firmware to expect and thus what path to set. -- Jeffrey T.

Hi. I'm having a problem with hashing passwords for use in the menu. If I specify plain passwords in my config it works file: Example: MENU MASTER PASSWD 1234567890 MENU PASSWD test123 However if I hash a password using the sha1pass script the resulting hashes don't work. MENU MASTER PASSWD $4$9qj4qv8g$HQ6Jl6TVrpign78XeofX2OLmfJo$ MENU PASSWD test123

Hi, Currently I am building a new PXE boot environment and during that I noticed something odd while attempting to boot using one of those universal netbootdisks based on the '3Com Universal NDIS driver v1.00' (aka undis3c) driver. Using pxelinux.0 this works like a charm, but when I switch to gpxelinux.0 the 3Com driver bails out on me... all other configuration is the same. Have

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

Hi Hpa and all I am confused about some function of pxelinux and gpxelinux/gpxe. 1, after I read the document (http://edgyu.excess.org/ols/2008/H%20Peter%20Anvin%20-%20x86%20network%20bo oting%3a%20integrating%20gPXE%20and%20PXELINUX.pdf), I knew there are two major module in standard gPXE, PXE BC and UNDI. And I can understand why I need to produce different boot file for different NIC from

Hello list, I am trying to prepare a USB disk with syslinux that is meant to be able to offer a choice among many different distributions. The goal is that I should be able to dump each distribution's CD contents into a separate subdirectory, and have a master menu that hands off to each distribution's subdirectory. A while back, when faced with a similar task on a PXE server, I came

Hey, I have a problem booting certain machines with pxelinux. I have pxelinux.0 in the root of my tftp server and dhcp pointing to the right location: # dhcpd.conf authoritative; option domain-name "example.net"; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 86400; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.20; server-name

(I hope this message is appropriate for these lists. If not, please tell me and I won't do it again.) Hi All. There will be a new release of OpenSSH in a couple of weeks. This release contains Kerberos and GSSAPI related changes that we would like to get some feedback about (and hopefully address any issues with) before the release. I encourage anyone with an interest in

I have 2 groups of machines, and within each group the pxelinux menu configuration is standard. It would be great to have 2 configuration files rather than one for each machine. I found the pxelinux magic option configfile (209) in http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX and it suggests for ISC dhcpd: site-option-space "pxelinux"; option pxelinux.magic

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

Dear all, I'd like to have a DHCP/PXE server for different arch of clients, i.e. BIOS, EFI32, and EFI64 clients. As described here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589 What Daniel has proposed (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589#10) should work, i.e. Using a file called pxelinux.cfg/bios containing the following 2 lines:

Hello SYSLINUX folks, thanks for all your hard work over the years! I'm working on a fairly complex deployment services project, and one of the aspects of it is to make it possible to federate deployment services across our university. Supporting existing deployment services is a priority, so I am presently trying to integrate an existing PXELINUX install, part of a FOG windows imaging
