run FreeBSD "pxeboot" from pxelinux.0?
Hello, I hope this doesn't bounce again... I'm having trouble passing control of the PXE process from PXELINUX to the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. I tried invoking "pxeboot" from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. This causes an error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I named pxeboot "pxeboot.0" and tried invoking pxeboot.0 from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. (This causes an immed...

pxelinux -> pxeboot load?
Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like operating systems inclu...

More info about split-second message. RE: run FreeBSD "pxeboot" from pxelinux.0?
Hello... In the split-second before the reboot, I can see that the pxeboot.0 process is indeed started-- pxeboot gets out just over 2 lines of text before the reboot occurs. So it's not a "ready" message. The text in question is (without *'s): ****************************************** PXE Loader 1.00 Building the boot loader arguments Reloca...

chaing freebsd pxeboot.0 from pxelinux.0
Hi Folks, I have configured pxelinux.0 to allow chain-booting freebsd pxeboot.0 from it like this: label fbsdpxe KERNEL pxeboot.0 This works as expected, so no issue with that. There's one weird thing however. If I rename pxeboot.0 to pxeboot (omitting .0) and change the config file accordingly it throws this error at me: Invalid or corrupt kernel ima...

CentOS-6 by PXEboot?
Has anyone succeeded in installing CentOS-6.0 by PXEboot. If so, would you say how you did it, please. I tried (on an HP MicroServer), but gave up in the end and used a USB stick installation instead. But I'd be very interested to know how to do it, for the future. Unfortunately I didn't keep a proper note of my PXEboot attempt, but IIRC the pr...

how to pxeboot dom0?
Hi all, Well I''ve managed to waste a day on this. Posted a similar message earlier today on the fedora list and got no nibbles. I read every article in the archives regarding pxebooting; there is no mention of it in the wiki. I have a box with two kernels, a standard fedora 6 and a xen fedora 6. Both boot fine. I''ve setup another server with dhcp and tftpboot and can now remote boot into the standard fc6 kernel and initrd, but I can''t figure out how to g...

building initrd.img with updated drivers
Can someone point me to instructions on how to build a pxeboot/initrd.img with updated drivers. I would like to pxe boot and install rh8 on a newer machine, and the pxeboot files that come with rh8 (2.4.20-8) don't support my e1000 NIC. I believe that the newer 2.4.20-28.8 drivers will, but I'm having trouble finding instructions in rebuilding the...

Network booting FreeBSD with gpxelinx almost works (fwd)
We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg l...

gpxelinux 3.70pre7 - wonderful!
Hi Peter et al, Just wanted to let you know my heartfelt appretiation of what you and the other devs have done in integrating gpxe and pxelinux... it works wonderfully well for me... I simply swapped my pxelinux.0 for my gpxelinux.0 and modified my pxelinux.cfg/default to use urls to refer to the kernel and initial ram disk images and it worked perfectly (dns resolution and all). This is a huge

pxeboot garbage screen
I am using pxeboot (syslinux) 1.75 and I'm attempting to boot diskless with the pxeboot.0 system. The system boots, downloads the pxeboot.0, the kernel and then the screen turns to garbage. Does anyone know what this is/how to fix this? Thanks. -- Paul Slinski System Administrator Global IQX http://www.globa...

Booting OpenBSD with pxelinux
...and some utilities (clonezilla, dban, etc). I'm now starting in on OpenBSD. As far as I've been able to figure out via internet searches, pxelinux (from the syslinux package) is unable to pass control of a machine directly to a BSD kernel. Instead, you have to use the BSD-supplied 'pxeboot' loader. The naming conventions enforced by pxelinux mean that pxeboot must be called pxeboot.0. Here's a simplified view of my tftpboot directory: etc/ `-- boot.conf images/openbsd/ `-- 5.4 | -- amd64 | | -- bsd | `-- pxeboot.0 `-- i...

Chainloading pxe boot loaders and dhcp root-path option
Is there anyway to set dynamically set dhcp options when chain loading another pxe boot loader? I'm setting up a pxelinux network install server and one operating system I want to support is freebsd. Freebsd has its own pxe loader called pxeboot that you can use. You just have to boot it from tftp and set the root-path dhcp option (option 17) to the location of your nfs server with the kernel and network filesystem. I want to support multiple versions of freebsd (i386 and amd64) along with Linux distros and others. The are hackish ways to...

One more clue, maybe...
...ocating the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader <change to white-on-black> BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 <stack dump> Would that business of "arguments... Relocating... Starting..." tell us anything? BTW, you should be able to recreate this with the pxeboot.0 that I sent you-- if it works, it'll produce a nice error message about a missing kernel. In the meantime, I'll try to find someone to converse with about pxeboot... -Chris -----Original Message----- From: H. Peter Anvin [mailto:hpa at zytor.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 19,...

Context: launching FreeBSD "pxeboot" from PXELINUX is the Very L ast Bug.
Hello... Last week I demonstrated a problem with PXELINUX's ability to launch the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. Mr. Anvin suggests that this can be fixed. I'm glad, because this PXELINUX/pxeboot problem is the very last technical issue for a project on which I've been working since September. My company has a proprietary disk-imaging system that they would like to replace. My compa...

interested in others' pre-7 NBP experience
...3Com`s >Boot Image Editor "imgedit" bootstraps)? I haven`t >found a single word about this feature in the pre-7 >tarball. Mr. Haus, I would very much like to know about your experience invoking another NBP from PXELINUX. I'm trying and failing to invoke the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program from PXELINUX pre-7. Here's what we know: Both PXELINUX and pxeboot work properly when invoked from a normal PXE client using either PXE version 2.0 or version 2.1. But invoking pxeboot.0 from PXELINUX causes a stack dump from pxeboot, and so far we haven't been able to...
