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

Here is what I had: root at shaz:/var/lib/tftpboot # ls -l total 1680 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 71 2005-06-11 11:17 pxelinux.0 -> /var/www/ubuntu-breezy/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-06-11 11:21 pxelinux.cfg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-06-11 11:20 ubuntu-breezy and I got "File not found" kind of error on pxeboot - so I did: root at shaz:/var/lib/tftpboot # rm pxelinux.0 root at shaz:/var/...

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos. https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Lin...

I have worked in IT for several years and programming or anything related to this is not exactly one of my strengths. I need help creating a vesamenu.. Im trying to setup up so I can access my Acronis backup and disaster recovery 10 server, knoppix live cd, hardware diagnostics - pcdoctor and maybe a hiren type boot cd. I checked the Linux irc channel which I guess is now abandoned. If anyone

I have tried to get this working SO many times, everywhere I look on the web tells me i have this correct. I have the following stanza in my /tftboot/lts/pxelinux.cfg/default label Ghost kernel memdisk append initrd=netboot.img For some reason, it doesn't work - I get the error messages Missing parameter in config file Could not find kernel image: linux boot: The netboot.img is in the same directory as the linux kernel, which boots fine.

hey guys, I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was h...

I've been using pxelinux with good success to netboot knoppix systems.

Hello, I run a cluster for computer game servers which are started on demand by users who book them. I have 15 nodes, some of them netbooted, some of them not. Recently i replaced a couple of old netbooted machines with new ones (with harddrives) for better performance. Inside the new boxes i used NICs from the old machines that i had taken out of the cluster and netboot. A day or so after i had done it i checked back on the...

Hello, My challenge is to run Linux on a computer where I don't dare to touch the Microsoft Windows harddisk. Fifthteen years ago would be trick to attach a second harddisk to the computer and boot from floppy disk. In 2011 is the idea to attach a second disk and netboot it. One approach is to TFTP the kernel and append 'root=/dev/sdb1' This E-mail is however to seek advice for another approach. In this approach is the kernel also on the second harddisk. I see two possible roads, both with dragons on it. The PXELINUX only road: Will PXELINUX load a kern...

I was wondering, where is the format and options of files like /usr/share/system-config-netboot/pxelinux.cfg/default from system-config-netboot-cmd described? There are plenty of PXE tutorials with examples out there, but nothing that looks like actual documentation.

I've been trying to figure out how to netboot memtest86 since terminals don't have local drives and I don't want to have to fish for disks with the memtest program on them for my machines that do. I'm in an etherboot environment where I can't figure out how to create a network tagged image of memtest86. Evidently I can use px...
