Hello i'm working on a netboot environement with a highly configurable menu system. for some parts i like to use pxelinux for others pxegrub. I can load both seperatly. Now what i want is to have the possibility to switch from une to another. I tried: to load pxelinux from pxegrub: menu.lst: title pxelinux root (nd) kernel (nd)/pxelinux.0 title pxelinux2 root (nd) kernel (nd)/memdisk initrd (nd)/pxelinux.0 title pxel...

...nd i can use 3 or 4 columns - that's at least 69 boot options... Hope this helps.

I have an image of a dos floppy that loads the undi driver from 3com and mounts an smb share. This works great with pxelinux(from syslinux) and memdisk I need to make it work with pxegrub so we can use menus. (or figure out a menu system for pxelinux) With pxegrub I use memdisk as the kernel and load the dos image as a ramdisk. The undi driver loads and doesn't complain but, the network is not accessible. I think maybe pxegrub isn't letting me keep the pxe stack or somethin...

In our testing, pxelinux and Dos UNDI is much more stable than pxegrub with ten different nic drivers compiled in. The only thing holding us back on using pxelinux for all of our tftp images is the lack of a menu system. We are very close to buying a proprietary software but, I would much rather use an open source type solution. It should be possible to write some...

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought that...

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments specified thei...

Could you try? > > Thanks, > Okuji hi, okuji. that works great! thanks very much for your help. it might be worth mentioning memdisk in the documentation because i'm sure others would find it useful, particularly with pxegrub... thanks again. -- J.F.Carter http://www.jfc.org.uk/

....."We are looking at Argon, they seem to have the best menu system. The sad thing is, they dont support alot of our image types, we will use their menu system to select pxelinux which will do all the real work. So, they get the money just because they have a menu system, and pxelinux does most of the work. Another negative is the configuration is all done through a bad windows GUI."

...... ] I'm working on setting up the Xen virtual machine system from Cambridge to boot using PXE. Unfortunately, it requires 3 images to be loaded (xen, linux, initrd) and I can't find any mention of doing this with PXELINUX, and the only people I have found who have made it work are using pxegrub (with kernel=, module=, initrd=). Unfortunately, pxegrub doesn't support the NIC I have (I still don't understand why it needs NIC drivers when PXE is available, but that is a different issue :-) So, I seems I have 3 obvious choices: 0. discover that I'm wrong and that PXELINUX will...

Hi, I would like to request password protection in syslinux. I know that it has come up a few times on the mailing list (google for "site:www.zytor.com syslinux password"), and on http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-May/000421.html you say interesting things about COMBOOT images. So I was wondering if I could bring that feature request to your attention again :) grub has it,

...ing fed7 and syslinux 3.62. If I use pxelinux I get the kernel to boot but it doesn't load my network drivers for the Broadcom II nic. I rebuilt the kernel (x86.miniroot) for solaris with the Broadcom nic drivers but it still didn't work. I read some stuff where people were using pxegrub and booting pxegrub.0 but that didn't work for me. I setup /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to- LABEL Solaris x86 kernel pxegrub.0 I get in.tftpd[19579]: tftp: client does not accept options and nothing happens??

I've recently moved from pxegrub to pxelinux (well, syslinux...) for many benefits. (memory fingerprint, etc) Its running perfectly, and exactly how I like it, except. LOCALBOOT 0 DOES NOT actually mount and boot the hard drive. All it seems to be doing is actually return error to the BIOS, which then boots the next device...

Hi, I'd like to load with pxelinux an RTEMS executable file, the format is ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, strtipped Can someone tell me if there is a way to load it with PXElinux. When I try to do it, the error message is : invalid or corrupt kernel image Thanks for your help. Regards. Stephane ARQUER

What is the difference between PXELINUX and bpbatch ? AFAICT, bpbatch doe not require a TFTP server which supports the 'tsize' option. So in the absence of such a server, I may need to explore bpbatch... It seems that bpbatch can be used to remotely boot DOS. Can PXELINUX also do this? -- John

Hi Bret Did you ever manage to boot xen via PXE (either pxelinux or pxegrub)? I am trying to do the same thing, and have run into the same problem you have with PXELINUX's apparently inability to load the three required images. I did a quick search for the PXEGRUB approach, but have not yet come up with anything. Hopefully that is an option for me, assuming my NIC i...

Greetings. I have seen some postings asking if pxelinux can support the network booting of the virtual machine kernel known as Xen but i cannot find any positive answers. As has been reported pxegrub combined with nfsroot can be used, but for me nfsroot is an inconvenience. Has anyone been able to use pxelinux to boot a Xen kernel? Many Thanks Mike

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs . I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel argument appended with BOOTIF : here is what i use : LABEL solaris MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart KERNEL mboot.c32...

We are running redhat 7.2 with 2.4 kernel. There is a 2 disk RAID 1 array which had a disk fail. The disk that failed had GRUB on it which in turn made the system unbootable. Our recovery method in a time of panic was to reinstall on a new disk saving certain partitions and reconstructing the array afterwards. During the reinstall we made a boot disk. Now we have 2 problems. 1.) The system will
