similar to: syslinux booting problem with 3Com PXE server

I posted this to the group last year, but the problem was not fixed so I will give it another try. I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the Fedora Core boot disk to my clients for an ftp install. I also have ghost boot disks, bios update disks, and a video bios repair disk all using the 3Com PXE server. The problem is when I try to boot a Linux kernel. With all versions of syslinux since 1.72

Doing a lot of RTFM lately about PXE. I have done xCAT builds but want to take the voodo out of the process so I can control and understand the whole system. I am new to PXE technology and so consider me ignorant. The current server is a MS RIS server and I am attempting to migrate our facility to use Linux / PXE instead. First stage: take existing DOS bootnet floppy and convert to boot from

We are attempting to setup an automated system to build some Linux systems. We have utilised the PXELINUX bootloader after encountering the PXE 512Kb limit with bootp. We now have another issue which you may have already run into. In the DHCP configuration we specify pxelinux.0 as the bootfile, this works reasonable well, we call the Redhat vmlinuz and initrd.img files within the

Since I've gotten convinced the really serious PXELINUX/ISOLINUX bug in 1.71 got squashed, I have released 1.72. Again, 1.72 is a bug fix release only. I have some additional rewrites pending before I want to introduce features that use the new core code, but let's make sure it gets usable again, first... -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a

I'm using pxelinux in an interesting way, to load DOS boot disk images from a win2k RIS (Remote installation Service) to do various functions. Soem of the disk images are used for flashing the BIOS on pcs, but a specific few are set aside for booting MSDOS with MS lanman so that ghost can be run to load images to/from the lan. I've got 6 different disk images setup and the all work

HI there. Probably my message is a bit off topic but I do not know where else I could be asking. . I'm running a linux terminal server with one client provided with a 3C509B ISA card. I boot the later with a floppy bootable rom image taken from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ Everything is working just fine. I decided to try to set up a PXE network boot (I'll needed it for installing a

There is a bug in the code for getting AFS tokens in function send_afs_tokens() in sshconnect1.c Here is how the bug manifests itself: If I have an AFS token that is still valid _and_ one that was valid but is now expired then AFS token forwarding ignores both tokens instead of forwarding the still valid one. I can reproduce this problem on Red Hat Linux 7.2 systems with OpenSSH-3.4p1 (and

I have released SYSLINUX 1.71 after fixing the total "brown-paper-bag" class bug in 1.70. My best guess is that I checked in the wrong verson of some code. -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major rewrite of some of the internals. It also includes some bug fixes. SYSLINUX 1.71 is a bug fix to 1.70. Changes in 1.71: * Fix a

Real quick background on what I'm doing now, and what I'm trying to do: We are using PXELinux with VA's SystemImager software to image new servers over our network. It's been working beautifully since the fall of 2000 using a 2.2 kernel. (Long and short: we bootstrap with PXE, use the initrd as the root file system, partition, mount and rsync the new drive, reconfigure, lilo

hello, i'm pete ,how can i order rows of matrix by max to min value? I have a matrix of membership degrees, with 82 (i) rows and K coloumns, K are clusters. I need first and second largest elements of the i-th row. for example 1 0.66 0.04 0.01 0.30 2 0.02 0.89 0.09 0.00 3 0.06 0.92 0.01 0.01 4 0.07 0.71 0.21 0.01 5 0.10 0.85 0.04 0.01 6 0.91 0.04 0.02 0.02 7 0.00 0.01 0.98 0.00 8 0.02

I'm building a custom bootdisk that I would like to boot linux or boot memtest86 (www.memtest86.com). And I'm running into some difficulties with recent versions of syslinux. All I'm doing is making a new label in syslinux.cfg called memtest and giving it kernel memtest.bin. This has worked on and off for several recent versions of memtest. It worked in 1.67, broke in 1.70(loads

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,

We are thinking of using pxe boot with a windows ris server to start off a Centos 4 install. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks Dean

Hi as described on the syslinux pxe webpage: A multi-hardware boot floppy is included with Windows Server 2000 and 2003. A company called Argon Technology used to offer a free-as-in-beer updated version, but is seems to have gone fully commercial. This floppy (which can also be burned to a CD using El Torito in floppy-emulation mode), is known to work with PXELINUX 2.03 or later only I'm

Hello, I would like to install a Windows 2000 Server and configure it with RIS (remote installation services). The server is in a domain where a Samba 3 server, a machine with SuSE Linux and Samba 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE, plays the PDC role. The PDC works well. When I try to configure RIS in the application wizard (appwiz.cpl) of that Windows 2000 Server machine, it tells me that the setup for RIS

gpxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can't work with microsoft RIS (startrom.n12),but pxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can work with microsoft RIS well. keeppxe can't work in 3.74.

I guess this really isnt the right place to be posting this it's probably the best place for me to find the answer. I would like to know if any of you are doing windows 2000/2003 installs over PXE and if so how you had it setup. I've done some searching on google and mostly found info about somthing called RIS or RAS or whatever.... it required a windows box and thats not a option.. I

Hello I'm working on my RIS server; I got a problem when I use pxelinux.0 to load setupldr.exe from windows XP 32bits (both home and corporate) Here is how I configure a working server, then how to modify it to reproduce the bug: ========================= I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule

I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for Introductory statistics" by Verzani. In order to use some of the functions and datasets I have to install the simpleR package which is is now inside the UsingR package. I did so using >install.packages("UsingR"). However, the functions such as "simple.freqpoly.R" do not work. I also tried to
