similar to: booting pxelinux and subsequent tftp-reads

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

Sorry, I originally send this message to H. Peter only... -----Original Message----- Hi! Strangely enough, I have again the same Fujitsu-Siemens machine which (still) has the same darn PXE bug. This time I have tested it with Pxelinux 2.02 . Just to suite it to my specific needs, I have recompiled it, changed only this line: (2036) ;cfgprefix db 'pxelinux.cfg/' ; No final null!

Yes, it is in the docs... All i need to do is load the memdisk image with the 'keeppxe' option. so, the default file should look like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------- default linux label linux kernel memdisk append initrd=client.ima keeppxe -------------------------------------------------------------------- That is all! Again, thanks for

Hi, I have a problem with architecture detection on non-Intel pxelinux emulators that I'd like to raise with you. This doesn't directly affect pxelinux and doesn't require any changes at your end, but I thought that you should be aware of it as there are some compatibility implications. I'm not sure if you're aware of pxelinux's TFTP fetch behaviour and the

Spike, There are multiple binaries that come with syslinux. I would highly recommend that you start with the official syslinux pre-built's of pre-7 on kernel.org. You will find inside an syslinux.efi in a 64 bit folder and one in an 32 bit folder. These are the files that you need to point your clients to for efi booting. pxelinux.0 is for bios booting only.

I know this is an old thread, but since I ran into this problem and spun my wheels on it for a few hours, I want to point out something subtle in this thread I missed: You must use the pre-compiled binaries in the tarball for this to work. I downloaded the tarball for syslinux 6.03 release and also tried 6.04-pre and 6.03-pre7, and did a make, and the resulting EFI binary still exhibited the

I've only had failures on gcc-4.6 with EFI builds.

That's what I'm failing with. What version of GCC works?

There are no pre-compiled binaries (official or otherwise) on kernel.org. I assume what is meant is https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ At least, that is where the "downloads" page of syslinux.org directs you. Under there are the various source tarballs (tar.gz format, tar.bz2 format). Also a directory called RPMS/. But that kernel.org RPMS/ directory is devoid of

I haven't encountered this problem before. This is from a Compaq DL320, with Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17 and tftp-hpa-0.28 running on Solaris. The PXE stack gets its IP address just fine, but it times out on the TFTP. While snooping on the Solaris box and grepping for TFTP, I found that the box gets one block of the TFTP transfer just fine. TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)

Hello, I'm new to Linux and quite inexperienced - sorry. I set up about 20 PXE servers with several tools as different boot images. Two of the tools require files to be loaded from the TFTP after the kernel has loaded. Currently I do the following in pxelinux.cfg/default: label abc kernel def append TFTP://2.3.4.5/xyz My PXE boot images are set on one master server and from there

Actually, better than expected, as no tftp > file size limit is incurred.

Hello ! I'm french, my english is bad :-( I want to boot a computer by network which have a 3Com network card. So I use isc-DHCP, TFTP-hpa and PXELinux. The computer start, make a dhcp request, receive the configuration. The next step is to contact the tftp server to get pxelinux.0 and the configuration. Stop me if I made an error ;) So, in the network I want to use it, there is a dhcp

All, I was excited to hear about EFI boot support in pxelinux >= 6.00. So I tried it. Not working. I've tried 6.02 (from source), 6.02 (from RPM), early 6.03 (from RPM) and even pulled/compiled latest source from git. 6.0.3-pre7. No love. My boot client can boot/image fine in legacy PXE mode. My dhcpd.conf looks like this: # In initial DHCP DISCOVER packet, PXE client sets option

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet
