...I know I need to upgrade SYSLINUX, but since we are using the CMenu's it's not that easy of an upgrade. I have been (slowly) working on a new iPXE/pxelinux 4.04 install that I am migrating to. However, I have an interesting problem. Using any of the examples I have seen, I can not make pxechain.com work. "pxechain.com ::/path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com ::path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com 192.168.1.12::/path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com 192.168.1.12::path/pxelinux.0" Having seen a thread where it appears pxechain.com is interchangeable, I tried the one f...

...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 across pxechain.com which elegantly solves this issue. With pxechain.com I can say the following in my master pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu.c32 prompt 0 menu title LGL PXE boot menu timeout 100 LABEL KubuntuNet menu Kubuntu network install kernel pxechain.com append ::kubuntu904/netb...

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 pr...

Hello, We are trying to set up a configuration with pxelinux on a linux machine and WDS, allowing us to be free to boot linux netboot installers from the tftp server. We have validated that pointing our dhcp server to the wds server works perfectly. Our idea was to use pxechain.com to launch the wdsnbp.com kernel as below : label windows KERNEL pxechain.com APPEND <ip address>::\Boot\x86\wdsnbp.com wdsnbp.com loads perfectly from the WDS server but our problem is that WDS uses dhcp to find which is the next server to load the next part of the WDS bo...

IRC user ernini first noticed this. We both tried using gpxe/gpxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. ernini used pxechain to a commercial NBP which RETs (the same as PXELINUX) and failed. Both of us had success with core/pxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. For my test, I have a VM in VMware Server 2.0.2 (VMHW v7). I loaded gpxelinux.0 using the VM's built-in PXE ROM. Then I used pxechain.com to load PXELINUX...

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, but I would appreciate a pointer. I have tried to rtfm, but find the docs a little sparse wrt pxechain.comand gpxelinux.0. I am trying to setup a pxe chain server (aka chainloading?) where one of the entries on one pxe server forwards to another (cobbler, in this case). I know this works fine with traditional pxelinux.0 images, but it's failing when I try to forward to a gpxelinux.0 image. We...

...4.0.3. I have in front of me 4.0.5, and 4.0.10-pre 17. Also git:master (4.0.6?), and git:lwip (4.0.10?). I need to replace my existing 4.0.3 anyway. Looking to try 4.0.10-pre17. But above all else, I'm looking for whatever build carries the best chance of me being able to boot pxelinux, then pxechain to another pxelinux, windows deployment server, acronis snap-deploy server, or xcat catalog server. And if if it is possible, a little syntax help/example would be appreciated as well. Thanks! -Ken

...r attempts to chain load from lpxelinux.0 -> tftp://server2/lpxelinux.0 also failed, I suspect for a similar error. (2) The new gpxelinux.0 in 5.10 seems to not work at all (with our VMWare VMs, anyway). That may be on the known-bugs list. (3) I assume I should be using pxechn.c32 instead of pxechain.com now always? I updated the pxelinux.cfg/default on my first-stop server to look like this: label cobbler COM32 pxechn.c32 append tftp://172.20.30.10/lpxelinux.0 This specific example (using lpxelinux.0) refuses to load the http-url kernel from my cobbler box, but if I use non-URL paths (i.e....

Now that pxechain.com can work (with my patch to core/pxelinux.asm), a PXE Chainload COM32 is not as big of a deal but I agree with HPA that it would be a good idea, especially considering the possible flexibility that this may allow. For the moment, I've named the chain module pxechn.c32 in order to not collid...
