Or, maybe, am I missing quoting requirements to escape the "=", or blowing the parameter separators (I tried both spaces and commas, and one long quoted string)? Steve Brown sbrown7 at umbc.edu P.S.: The particular parameters that I have tried passing in have been just about all permutations of pci=noprobe, idex=noprobe, hdx=noprobe, and hdx=none (with the proper replacements of "x", of course).

Hello list, I am trying to use the console to setup my machine. During boot I am able see the syslinux boot prompt on the serial console *and* the monitor, but I can not use the console keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. After the kernel is loaded, the console keyboard starts working, but, this does not help me much, since I still need to use the keyboard

Ok, syslinux is what it is, and I love the way it just works. I looked up linuxBios and found what I was looking for. A project in 2000 called "LOBOS (Linux OS Boots Linux OS): Booting a Kernel in 32-bit Mode? It looks like this would do what I need, but I can't find any working code. I like the Idea of booting a simple fail safe system and restarting a production kernel. Yes,

Hiya, Just joined the list and started using pxelinux. Very cool product!!! I searched the, 8+ MB, archives looking for multicast entries. I know that the pxelinux page says that the support of mtftp in pxelinux isn't in the works but I'm not sure how old/relavant that comment is.

I have periodically been trying to get memdisk to boot images larger than your average 1.44Mb floppy and have always been unsuccessful. I cannot boot anything greater than 1.44Mb. The systems I'm attempting to do this with are not too old but they are not recent either. One is a Asus P5A and the other is a Intel SE440BX both with the most recent bios firmware patches available applied. If

Hi all I'm guessing this is a little off topic but here goes... We use PXELINUX and kickstart to automate our RHEL deployments and updates. Recently we started using PXELINUX/memdisk and an MS-DOS image to update the workstation BIOS'es.
