Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all ? 4) How does gpxelinux really work, It looks like a gpxelinux is a slightly modified versio...

We don't want c32 modules to switch modes (they can do it themselves), and they may not process the "quiet" option. However, NBPs (.0's) definitely should do the mode reset, just like kernels without the "quiet" option. -hpa

...ted from a PHP script. I did find that my dos boot disks using keeppxe and the 3com undi driver no longer work and give the errors 'Set Packet Filter failed' and 'Error: 255 Unable to Bind'. I'm not sure if keeppxe problem I'm observing is related to the chainloading other NBPs from gpxelinux.0 problem which isn't working yet according to the announcment or if it's a separate issue. If it is a separate issue and you would like something from my test system let me know and I'll try to get it to you. Thanks again for all the hard work. Jeremy Collins Santiago C...

...like using a CGI or PHP script for the configuration file. SAN booting (iSCSI or AoE), which is supported by gPXE, can be invoked via a small (not yet written) comboot module, which is only necessary in order to pass the appropriate command down to gPXE. Note that currently chainloading other NBPs from gpxelinux.0 is broken. This will be fixed. In order to invoke the new functionality, you need a filename or filename prefix which is a URL, identified by the character sequence. In my test setup, I simply use DHCP option 209 (pxelinux.pathprefix) to redirect loading to my http server....

Hi all, I have just been informed that Netboot (http://netboot.sourceforge.net/) can be used to produce PXE boot ROMs. I wonder if anyone has tried running this combination with PXELINUX? This is obviously a really big deal... :) -hpa

I have been using PXELINUX for a while and appreciate all you guys are doing! I have a couple of questions re PXELINUX: 1. I am experiencing problems with the LOCALBOOT statement on an IBM x3650. IBM mentions the following: http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5084755 I am using PXELINUX 4.04. Is this problem still attributed to some bug in PXELINUX? Right now I

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent to develop this version of SYSLINUX. - The Etherboot Project, for gPXE. - Everyone who has tested and submitted patches and comments. The changes: Changes in 3.70: * PXELINUX: Support enhanc...

The UEFI PXE boot DHCP/proxyDHCP issue is very timely. I am working on that very topic now. Our scenario is a manufacturing environment set up to format and load/install custom hard drive images in our systems. Our environment: This is a manufacturing floor setup where we build computers for our customers. We have two servers and a client in the mix, all connected via Ethernet (IPv4 only).
