hi, sorry for bothering the list but since I didn't find anything in the documentation or archives I would be grateful for your help. For a customized USB installer (based on redhat anaconda) I wanted to pass an kernel parameter which contains a colon. This leads twice to the error message "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." Quoting the append string using ' or "

Hi All, Interesting that I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but what happens to text that is typed after the label on the syslinux prompt? My current issue is I'm using PXE to do kickstart installations. I want the ability to do "rescue" boots also with PXE. I've gone looking at the current RH80 disk 1 which has this capability. It has a directory called

Hi. I'm trying to put together a boot cd using isolinux, but I've run into a problem. The system I'm trying to boot with this cd complains that it "Could not find kernel image: linux". This is the isolinux.cfg file that I'm using default linux prompt 1 timeout 600 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.2.14 append initrd=rootfs_new.img lang=

Hi all, I'm looking for some menu examples for Murali's menu system. Specifically, a headstart on creating a Kickstart menu which covers the most common options with the intention of creating this: label ks.menu kernel vmlinuz.ks.$DIST append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://kickstartserver/$DIST/Custom/ks.cfg.$DIST initrd=initrd.ks.$DIST lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 Hmm...looking

I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?) SYSLINUX (isolinux) 2.00 ----8<------8<---- SERIAL 0 38400 TIMEOUT

Hi, I have tried several different line options, but I cannot seem to get the pxe master password option to work? I have basically tried all combinations of: DEFAULT local PROMPT 0 ALLOWOPTIONS 1 TIMEOUT 500 MENU TITLE sometitle MENU MASTER PASSWD somepassword But just can't seem to get the menu to prompt for a password. version I have is pxe 3.31 Thanks for any help

I'm trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree 'CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso' via http on server 'Z', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it's a memory problem); it's required keyboard

Hi, do you know of a reason why I can't seem to load the kernel from the redhat 8.0 pxeboot using pxelinux? Same everything but with the kernels from 7.2 and 7.3 work fine. More details: - dhcp fine - loads pxelinux.0 fine - is able to get the pxelinux.cfg/<my config> - starts to get the kernel image vmlinuz... - stops after receiving only a few blocks over tftp (system hangs) - next

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a...

Hello ! Maybe passing argument root=/dev/ram0 or root=/dev/rd/0 would help ?

The following is a pxelinux problem, specifically to do with including config files with the menu include directive and the ifcpu64.c32 com module. I have a working ifcpu64.c32 setup that jumps to the label rescue64 in the case of a 64-bit CPU. The label "rescue64" defines a 64-bit kernel and a 64-bit initrd.img. The setup jumps to a label named "rescue32" in the case of a

I had a little trouble installing WINE and, becuase of that, tried several different versions. It turned out the sound trouble was not a WINE issue, but a devfs issue, so I deactivated devfs (devfs=nomount). I am using the latest RPM of Codeweaver's WINE with Mandrake 8.1. I've got Codeweaver's WINE up and running now. When I first tried this, I could type a win .exe file from

Hi: Two scripts (mkbd.fails and mkbd.works) are attached to this message. The only difference between them is in how syslinux.cfg (on a RedHat boot image) is replaced. mkbd.fails: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "mv -f". vmlinuz can't be found. mkbd.works: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "cp". vmlinuz is found. The only difference I can see between these two methods is that

Hi. I'm trying to make a simple boot floppy that would choose between booting with serial console or with keyboard/screen based on user's input. In the ideal world, I would like to have the following behaviour: On the serial console, it would show the welcome screen and say "Press Enter now to boot from serial console" and on the VGA screen (at the same time) it would

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

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

Hi, I have built a Red Hat 7.2 system kernel 2.4.7-10 using pxelinux from syslinux-2.09 I have then installed the latest Broadcom BCM5700 Linux Driver Version 7.1.22 as per the README.TXT:- rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.1.22-1.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec rpm -ivh --force RPMS/i386/bcm5700-7.1.22-1.i386.rpm The system reboots fine and is using the new driver I now want to update my

Hi, I just upgraded syslinux to version 3.0.7 from 2.13, but my pxe client got some warning messages. The pxelinux config file looks like: default memtest timeout 70 prompt 1 #--------------------------------- label local localboot 0 #--------------------------------- label memtest # note! *.bin is specially purpose for syslinux, # do NOT use memtest86.bin, use memtest86 instead of

Hello all! I try mondo/mindi for some days now but it does not work and I don't know the reason. It is an intel Suse-8.0 Client and I use the Suse-8.0 packages from ftp.mondorescue.org. dhcp and tftp work fine. mondoarchive works, but I don't find any initrd.img for pxe/nfs. All initrd I have found ask for a CDROM and as they cannot find any they ask for a floppy when starting the pxe
