similar to: FW: PXE booting

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 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 there, I'm using pxelinux.0 to boot another pxe boot image that checks if a host needs to be installed by doing a network query. If this is not the case, this image would return and boot from the next device. But on this Broadcom card, the Message 'PXE-M0F' does not appear, so the pxe image does not return. With the latest stable the PC would recognize the keystroke

As I had noted in the past gpxelinux.0 fails (on most of my machines) at localboot 0 where as pxelinux.0 works with localboot 0 (on all of my machines) I needed to do local boot by default (not first hard drive but local boot where it ends pxe booting and looks at the next device) I also had a few iso images that took too long while downloading from tftp and I wanted to use gpxelinux.0 with its

Hello, On a computer with a real serial port do I mis some output. It is 'real serial port' as opposed to virtual hardware. The text that I mis is 'My IP address seems to be' and the decreasing hexadecimal IP-adress staircase. The banner and the copyright message are displayed. pxelinux.cfg/default is fetched and its "SAY command" is shown. Have a look at this

Greetings all, Sorry, resending this with the attachment inline. First of all, a disclaimer: Please forgive my horrible assembly code. This is just a quick munging of code to achieve x86 versus x86_64 detection within pxelinux. So please look at it as a proof of concept and not a real piece of code. :) For example it only works on pxelinux and has no thought for extending it beyond simple x86

Hi, I am trying to load kernel 2.6.6 on a Soekris net4521 from the network using PXE. I built my initrd with mkinitrd. RedHat nash (while running linuxrc) hangs after mounting /proc and says "Creating block devices". I am using the pxelinux.0 from the syslinux-2.10 distribution and the kernel and initrd were built on redhat 9.0. I built my kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM, RAMFS, TMPFS,

Hello Recently I've been happily experimenting with syslinux, replacing grub and my old bootmanager. All works beautifully, but I have one question - in case of .bss bootsectors - what exactly and under what circumstances is patched in ? With syslinux used as main bootmanager - bootsectors from xp64, xp32 and [pre-syslinux] msdos 7.1 (98se) work perfectly fine when chainloaded natively as

hi, i ve grub in the mbr of my usb stick and now i am not longer able to use the syslinux bootmanager. i tried to delete grub from mbr with: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 but nothing changed grub is still in the mbr hope somebody can help me thx so long

Hi I am having problems loading bcdw (http://bootcd.narod.ru) from the isolinux bootloader. I use this to load the acronis programs. It worked fine up till version 3.51 but does not work anymore with 3.52. Here is the code to load the second bootmanager label l kernel /bcdw/bcdwboot.bin Any insights to what might be wrong here? With 3.52 I get Error! Cannot load

Dear syslinux maintainer, on a tablet pc with only a touchpad is during boot time no keyboard exist and therefore no user intervention possible to control the behavior of a bootmanager extlinux in my case. The machine is able to boot from a second drive a another as the default OS and so I think it must be potential at first time extlinux via menu to instruct, to boot from such a drive. If

a bit unrelated, still I wonder: does syslinux contain an mbr? or does anyone know any app that contains an mbr and can install it, without overwriting the partition table? my experience is, that is wise to have an mbr and use the active flag to select the active partition (which might have a bootmanager installed). however every linux distribution I know installed the bootloader such as

Hi Shao Miller, I found another ISO that doesn't work with MEMDISK-ISO. It is the ISO of the PloP bootmanager. It is a ISO which uses floppy emulation. When I boot it with MEMDISK-ISO (run from Syslinux), my PC instantly reboots. When I extract the floppy image from the ISO and boot this file with MEMDISK, it works fine. Grub4dos iso emulation works fine for this iso. When using Grub4dos

Other bootloaders include (or can generate) a binary file that behaves as a (linux) kernel. Such binary file(s) can potentially be used for chainloading

I wrote a COM32 module which detects if the PLoP bootmanager was used to boot a CDROM drive or USB drive, by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The PLoP INT13h hook check works like this (NASM syntax): mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes '

New module which check if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook: mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes ' jz
