Dear Mr. H It is an honer to recieve a mail from you (I will put a paper copy on the billboard for a week or two). THANKS FOR YOUR PRODUCT! I am building a Beowulf Cluster for Meteorological Simulations (DK government) and must boot the buggers over and over again. At present boot and configure nodes in 3:40 min. (expect to do so with 100+ nodes - that is quick). 1. /sbin/reboot

Dear Mr. H AGAIN: THANKS FOR YOUR PRODUCT! I am building a Beowulf Cluster for Meteorological Simulations (DK government) and must boot the buggers over and over again. At present boot and configure nodes in 3:40 min. Fault tolerans and speed 1. I can now promote a node to master (BOOTP/TFTP/NFS/Repository...). 2. I can now push Repository to secret partition nodes and boot

Hi Josef, I have included the hex dump, I hope it will help to pinpoint the problem.

Hi, I have a tftp client which loads quite happily from a tftpd built from netkit-tftp-0.16 but which fails to load from from a tftpd built from tftp-hpa 0.29. In both cases, tftpd was built from pristine sources and run from xinetd under Redhat 7.3. [netkit-tftp-0.16 is the ancestor of tftp-hpa, predating HPA's maintenance of same] [the tftp client also.. .. fails with the prebuilt tftpd

Hi, I just tried to boot my token ring devices with 2.05 - to no avail, it hangs after loading the kernel. I then tried older versions, and found 2.03 booting like a charm, and every 2.04-pre including 2.04 hanging. Here's the config of the devices: - Networkstation 2800 with IBM PCI Token Ring card 2 - IBM Thinkpad T21 with IBM PCI Token Ring card 2 Maybe this has to do with the changes

Hi, tftp-hpa 0.29-pre1 was released long time ago. Will there be a 0.29? Regards, Josef ________________________________________________________________ Keine verlorenen Lotto-Quittungen, keine vergessenen Gewinne mehr! Beim WEB.DE Lottoservice: http://tippen2.web.de/?x=13

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

Good day, Just a quick question- could someone please confirm that this is the correct xinetd configuration (or not) for hpa-tftp? We've noticed that, when under moderate load hpa-tftpd resides in memory, even after there are no connections or even if xinetd is shut down. Under light load the server goes away after each connection, as desired. Thanks in advance! service tftp {

Hi all, While I was gone I thought a bit about the flame war a few weeks ago and some of the very unpleasant private emails some people decided to send me as a result, most of them demanding that I solve *their* particular problem for them. I wanted to get people's feel for what the policy should be for this mailing list. I have so far tried to limit it to the syslinux loader family

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.82 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.82 is a bug fix release for 3.81. Changes in 3.82: * isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition. * ISOLINUX: deal with systems which return from INT 13h with interrupts

Hi All, I am still having troubling with PXE. Thanks for replying Shao.I did follow ur suggestions and my results have improved a bit.From Ethereal and TCPdump, I can see that the client sucessfully dowloads the file pxelinux.0 from the server but stops at this point. here is the output of tcpdump tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 11:05:41.966864 IP

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

Hi all, I have just released Syslinux 3.83. Special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time on this. It is somewhat of a meager release despite four months, as most of the work has gone into the future-work branches. -hpa Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. *

trying to set up a IBM 4500R with pxelinux 1.67 with an Intel eepro(ish) NIC. Got DHCP (ISC 2.0) and atftpd working. pxelinux downloads the boot.msg, kernel and initrd, but when it tries to load the kernel we get: boot: Loading 7.1/vmlinuz............. Loading 7.1/initrd.img.............. ready. Failed to free base memory, sorry... [system hangs] I tried enabling debugging in pxelinux.asm, but

Hi Peter, (at least I hope it is you, who gets this mail) I have a problem while booting over the netwoork using PXELINUX. When I use a initrd smaller or equal 16 MB, everything works fine, but when I increase the size, the system doesn't boot. In case of a 32 MB initrd (same content, just bigger), I get the error-message, that the system couldn't mount root. From 64 MB on, the system

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to

Hi, I have a question on tftpd on Slackware - I know this is an embedded Linux forum, but I think it still must be the appropriate place to ask. I have hpa-tftpd V0.40 on Slackware 9.1. No matter what I do, I can't get files transferred to the tftp server. I just get timeouts - no messages in /var/log/messages or in /var/log/syslog - just dealthly silence. This is the configuration line
