similar to: pxelinux - use IP's for config files

Are there any open source efforts ( I haven't found any) that have a tftp server with a mysql backend? I'd like an incoming pxelinux request to give the tftp server the mac address, and then it performs a query to find out which configuration file it should get. Of course it would be great if some day tftp-hpa would integrate with libmysql.. Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE

I've now been able to test the simple.com in dosemu, worked fine. We provide a CD that has multiple kickstart configurations on it and users are prompted as to what type of server they want to build based upon the isolinux.cfg selections. My goal is to use Murlai's menuing system instead because the large number of configs is taking too much screen real estate. Looking at simple.c

I know that this is not a pxelinux/syslinux question (yet), but I am having a weird issue with a HP ML370. It is using HP UNDI PXE 2.1 (build 082) v 3.1.15 I successfully get an IP address from my DHCP server, but the machine fails when it attempts to make it's TFTP connection with: "PXE-E32 - TFTP Open timeout" It never gets the pxelinux.0 file. The odd thing I noticed was

Is there a simple well to test a menu after compiling rather than actually booting with it from pxe or off the cd? I guess it would run inside dosemu? Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE Contractor Administrative Office of the United States Courts Washington, DC (202) 502-2394

Using the latest version of syslinux/pxelinux.. When cold pxe booting a HP DL585 G2 (Broadcom NIC), if the pxemenu item is LOCALBOOT 0 and is selected, then a red screen with the following error occurs: Illegal OpCode EAX=000E09AC EBX=00000000 ECX=00000000 EDX=00000000 EBP=00004408 ESI=0000F000 EDI=000045E9 DS=F000 ES=0000 FS=0000 GS=0003 CS:EIP=1000:00000240

I managed to install RHEL3 onto a 1GB USB key. I had to forgo using grub to get it to but, but am now using extlinux. It actually boots, but ends up panicking. Here's the console messages that should be of interest: usb.c: registered new driver hub Loading ehci-hcd.o module ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801EB USB2 ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: irq 23, pci mem f882b000 usb.c: new USB bus

Hi, We have some 100 Servers (includes both Intel and PPC based systems). Is there any way to easly install OS (different flavours of Linux) on these systems ? We do not have control over the DHCP Server settings so is there any way to do this with out touching the DHCP Server ? We have static IPs for all the systems. Regards, Naveen

I have the following senerio. Call file calls 1st party. When connected give called party option to connect to second party. Issue Dial to second party. Caller answers and the two are bridged together. My issue is that 4 out of 5 calls fail to bridge the audio. Am I missing something or is there some kind of bug? Here is my test dialplan ;Dialer Base Code Files. ;Variables

I found that if I do not have a local floppy installed and enabled on my client, I will get the error 'Non-system disk' when I try to boot DOS floppy images. NT or Syslinux floppy images boot fine. If I enable the floppy in the BIOS, then it boots the DOS floppies just fine. Is this normal? Is there a workaround? There are MS-DOS images, so perhaps this is an MS-DOS limitation. --

I find an RPM called PXE in legacy (9.0 and earlier) versions of Redhat Linux but I don't find it in more recent versions. Is there a reason for this or am I missing something? Is there, somewhere, an instruction for setting up PXE under Red Hat Fedora Core or Red Hat Enterprise? I want to roll out a large number of machines with only an Ethernet card for I/O and PXE seems to be The Right

Hi everyone, I'm looking to move terminus.zytor.com, the server that hosts among many other things http://syslinux.zytor.com/ somewhere else on fairly short notice. Unfortunately my home network connection is a cable modem with dynamic IP and a "no servers" (sigh) policy, so that won't quite work. If you happen to have available or know of a place in the San Jose,

Platform is Solaris 8 on a 280R. I'm setting up a new installation of Dovecot, and I ran into some troubles that I've partly tracked down. I setup auth/user dbs with LDAP initially, and things worked well. Passwords are stored as "{crypt}zxcv..." in LDAP. I setup SQL, and began getting this: dovecot: Jan 23 16:37:47 Error: child 8718 (auth-worker) killed with signal 11

I'm interested to find out how many people are running tftp-hpa versus atftpd. I'm almost a bit surprised in how many people seem to be using tftp-hpa; for modern Unix systems (including Linux), I would in general assume atftpd to be a better choice. If you have tried both and specifically chosen (as opposed to "it was already installed", etc.) I'd be interested in

Hello, i'm little confused about gluster configuration interface. I did start with gluster 3.2 and i did all configurations using gluster cli command. Now when i was looking into way how to tune performance i find out in documentation on many places some pieces of text configuration files, but usually there is a warning that it is old and should be not used. Right now im solving how to turn

Hi, I work in Dell Support and I have a customer with a PowerEdge 1650 Server with Intel? PRO/1000 XT (82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controllers). The nic is integrated on the motherboard. The customer is using a Linux system with DHCP+tftp to PXE boot and load an MS-Dos 6.22 image, with an UNDI driver, over to the PowerEdge 1650 and then map a Samba share to install Windows 2000. The customer get

I've been having some real issues creating a working configuration file for my PXE Linux 2.03 installation from which I intend to boot diskless workstations. I've tried a huge number of differences for passing the init argument but none seem to work. Current config file should look something like this: ******** default std label std kernel linuz append root=/dev/nfs

SYSLINUX is certainly useful. I currently start Debian from their standard boot floppy, which uses SYSLINUX. I found it very easy to edit syslinux.cfg for ide-scsi setup. Surely the future lies with bootable CDs and floppy images specifically designed for them. Maybe there should be a combined SYSLINUX / ISOLINUX package which allows you to specify Floppy Emulation or not. But if you invent a

Suppose I start building nodes with (say) 24 drives each in them. Would the standard/recommended approach be to make each drive its own filesystem, and export 24 separate bricks, server1:/data1 .. server1:/data24 ? Making a distributed replicated volume between this and another server would then have to list all 48 drives individually. At the other extreme, I could put all 24 drives into some
