...interested in feedback from other people who want to PXE-boot Xen. Assuming you already have dhcp/tftp up and working at your site, it should be easy to test: 1) Edit dhcpd.conf to boot pxelinux on your Xen machine (see http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php ). 2) Download http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tjd21/tmp/mboot.c32 and put it in your tftpboot directory. 3) Copy xen, xenlinux and initrd into your tftpboot directory. 4) Edit the appropriate pxelinux.cfg file to contain a line invoking mboot.c32, and then the xen and module command lines, separated by ''---''. For example...

I'm seeing this on a HP Blade and i'm not sure why this is happning since the nature of the issue is so wierd. I compiled mboot.c with a DEBUG defined in the mboot.c file. In the funciton init_mmap(), it prints the e820 map and on the HP blade this map values come out to be totally random. Some weird numbers which dont make any sense at all. However, if i add a while(1); or a exit(1); at

...n, George Dunlap and I) have been working over the last while on a full replacement for Xen''s shadow pagetable support. This mail contains some design notes, below; a patch against xen-unstable, giving a snapshot of the current state of the new shadow code, is at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tjd21/shadow2.patch Comments on both are welcome, although the code is not finished -- in particular there are both some optimizations and some tidying-up that need to be done. Cheers, Tim. ---- The new shadow code (dubbed ''shadow2''), is designed as a replacement for the current sh...

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

Hello, I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present in mboot.c now, so I added support for it. The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next release of syslinux so ELF multiboot
