similar to: Size limit for initrd in PXELINUX?

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 some strange problem with pxelinux. I have a quite big config file (>8K), with much labels (29), long append's and some texts on the F-Keys (F1-F5). This works as expected, pxelinux loads all labels without a peep. Now I added 'kbdmap kbd-de' to this config file - and I get strange errors all over. pxelinux reports several times 'Unknown keyword in config file.'

Hello, We are trying to use 'PXELINUX' for network boot with root file system on ramdisk, the kernel image vmlinuz and compressed root file system rootfs.img.gz are both present in /tftpboot directory PXELINUX client (pxelinux.0) requests and gets the config file AC134D6D from the TFTP server (which supports tsize option) contents are as follows timeout 10 prompt 1 label linux-new

I performed an experiment in which I had dhcpd specify a named file ("foo") instead of one based on a client's MAC address. Lo and behold, the same problem occured. The PXE stack requested and was served the right file, the kernel loaded as did the initrd. But again, the boot sequence stopped at "Ready." Keep in mind that the contents of the file are the same as was in the

Hi, I've just played around with kbdmap in pxelinux. I always wondered why there was no translation for "AltGr"-Keys (the right 'Alt'-Key) (AltGr-Q generates "@" on a german keyboard e.g.), and I found in conio.inc (syslinux 1.76): getchar: [..] .kbd: xor ax,ax ; Get keyboard input int 16h and al,al jz .func_key mov bx,KbdMap ; Convert character sets

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

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, I have setup pxelinux like this, default linux label=linux kernel linux append initrd=rootfs.img ipappend 1 I have my dhcpd.conf like this, allow booting; allow bootp; group{ filename "pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0"; host deploy { next-server 192.168.1.254; hardware ethernet 00:0E:A6:22:28:21;

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

Yes, you are missing these options in the DHCP server: 66 'Boot Server Host Name' (the tftp server IP) 67 'Bootfile Name' (pxelinux.0) -----Original Message----- From: Pierre VIALLET [mailto:pvt at auvitran.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 10:18 AM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: [syslinux] PXE boot from Windows XP Hi, I want to boot a VIA EPIA Motherboard from a

Hello, I am trying to setup a PXE boot installation server (CentOS 5 which has tftp-server-0.42-31.el5.centos and dhcp-3.0.5-5el5 and httpd-2.2.3.7.el5.centos) and I followed this recommendation: http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html in order to create an http install server (I'd rather not do NFS, FTP installations due to bandwitdth restrictions at our site). I keep

Hi, I've got pxelinux 2.00 working to boot rh 7.3, 8.0, and phoebe-beta pxe install images but I've recently tried to load the rh 9 pxe install images and I get this.. 4000 AX:0208 BX:0200 CX:0002 DX:0000. Any thoughts? Thanks aaron

Very sporadicially (1 out of every 40-5000 boots), our blade system will hang indefinately while PXE Linux is attempting to locate it's configuration file. This is causing our automated testing to hang and generate failures. I have put more details below. My concerns are threefold: 1) System hangs 2) PXE Linux bootstrap never seems to retry the transaction 3) PXE Linux bootstrap never seems

Hi, my client pc hangs on pxelinux before starting to fetch the linux kernel. It hangs after printing the ip information row. No traffic is observed at this point on the network. The pxelinux is transferred to the client through a tftp server and with no problems. What options do I have to proceed from this point and try to find out where the problem is? Thanks, Firas. -- Firas Swidan, PhD

Good day, I have the problem to pass the ?loaded? undi driver to the next bootloader. In current pxelinux ?lernel memdisk keeppxe harddisk raw initrd::parh_to_img? always unloads undi before memdisk (or other kernel) takes control. After many tries I found that the keeppxe feature is broken starting from version 6.03 pre 9. I tried to find the reason by comparing sources 6.03 pre 8 / 6.03

sorry - i must have overlooked the part where you mentioned that.. my fault. What software are you looking at ? Altiris maybe ? I am, ofcourse interested in the option you are looking for. Please keep this list updated.
