similar to: MTFTP support in PXElinux??

Hi: First - pxelinux works great - got it up and running with few problems. However - I ran into a snag, I am assuming I have a configuration issue. Here are the details. Using: syslinux-1.75 dhcp-3.0pl1 tftp-hpa-0.29 A lot of what I have done is from: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/diskless dhcpd.conf: # DHCP configuration file for DHCP ISC 3.0 ddns-update-style

Hello. In my case I can successfully boot up my Thinkpad X32, but the same configuration doesn't work for my desktop computer with Intel network card, with Intel Boot Agent 2.2 DHCP server is 10.0.0.1, tftpd (used tftp-hpa) runs on 10.0.0.32. netstat told me the daemon listen to 69 UDP port just fine. running tftp in commandline also shows it works (retrieve pxelinux.0 less then 1 second).

Hello, i've found a strange bug, here is my situation: - all of our computers makes a pxeboot request by default dhcp server is configured: option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-129 code 129 = text; option space PXE; option PXE.mtftp-ip code 1 = ip-address; option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2 = unsigned integer 16; option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned

Sorry for top-posting but my webmail forces me to. I added -W to the APPEND line as suggested but I'm still getting the same result: Booting... Altiris, inc. X86PC PreBoot, PXE-2.x Enhanced Build ID=402 PXEPreZero: Invalid PXE Server list format. and the client PC freezes right there. Here's the full content of my dhcp.conf: max-lease-time 86400; ddns-update-style interim;

Hi- On the pxelinux web page here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php Mr. Anvin says the following: " PXELINUX does not support MTFTP, and I have no immediate plans of doing so. It is of course possible to use MTFTP for the initial boot, if you have such a setup. MTFTP server setup is beyond the scope of this document. " I am curious as to the possibility of 'mtftp for the

Ady: You seem to be taking (copy$paste) parts and pieces from different resources. Luke: Nope. The configuration works fine with PXE 2.01 clients, it's the UEFI PXE 3.2 that is having issues with the dhcp requests. The gospel is the Intel PXE 3 spec I'm RTFMing now. No copy and paste, I just started with someone elses configuration file that claims to support UEFI - or at least hopes to

Gene, As it happened I started working on this again just as you mailed me. It appears that PXE-E99 may also be related to MTFTP part of the PXE spec. IBM also says it has something to do with jumbo frames. I tried setting PXE.mtcp-ip to 0.0.0.0 to disable it but still no joy. The bootfile size shows up as zero because that relates to "option boot-size" in dhcp and doesn't seem to

Hi, I have refered to ur documents for creating a Diskless node in linux ,but could not get through the installation . The exact problem that i am facing is mention below , also, there r few queries, which i would be greatfull if u can answer First let me explain u what i have done .

Hi, I know this isn't the right list for this but I figured that at least you guy's have done some similar things. After messing about with PXElinux, I'm only a hairs breath away from finishing. My problem comes from program files that the Kernel boots to, so init=/sbin/init or init=/bin/bash. If I boot to bash the console of the remote PC just dies right after the section

from: Jeff Sloan <jeff_sloan at selinc.com> Based on commit: 9314e330 Setting UseDefaultAddress to TRUE uses invalid StationAddress and SubnetMask values. This is in a network with a local TFTP/MTFTP server. If the server is local, on the same subnet, UseDefaultAddress is set to false and the client ip and subnetmask are loaded, otherwise set UseDefaultAddress to TRUE. This is added to

Hey guys, We are going with WDS to fire up first to get the benefits of targeted M$ deployments. If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off anything you want to including PXELinux. The stuff I was talking about before with PXELinux not working in

I?ve got a 512M machine and a 330M ( uncompressed ) initrd image. How can I mount the ramdisk? Normal booting seems to want to copy the entire initrd image into a Ramdisk, thus requiring 2X the memory. So what happens is the kernel boots correctly and I get, RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 330000 blocks [ 1 disk ] into ram disk And then I never see the light of day after

After succesfully launching automated Linux install using MTFTP, DHCP and PXE servers all running W2K, I wanted to explore the possibility of using the same setup to serve DOS boot floppies through the same PXE server. Is this possible? I cannot hardcode the MAC addresses of the NICs as the computers will be updated every month or so. Thank you in advance, Fet

I have already a running automated Deployment system using pxelinux and tftd and a 1,44 floppy image (memdisk) with ms-dos and 3-com undi drivers. The whole thing is working good, and i am not unhappy about it. But, the dos image solution has a few disadvanatages, because i cannot find a mtftp client for ms-dos to deploy a lot of system at the same time. Under linux such client exists, but i

Hi, We are using PXELinux 1.75, ISC DHCP 3.0pl1 and atftp-0.6 to deploy RH 7.3 across a number of Dell Rackmount systems. I would like to set things up so that the RH boot kernel grabs the IP Address, gateway aand DNS address from the first DHCP request with 'ipappend 1', but so far have had no success, Kickstart issue a seconed request after booting the kernel. Here are my configs:

hi: i try to make some images for pxelinux+memdisk. the version i try is 2.0.6 and 2.0.7pre5 for 2.88M floppy image, first i make a 1.44M boot floopy, then use "winimage" to load the disk and transfer it to 2.88M format, then save the image. it seems a easy way to make a 2.88M boot image. for harddisk image, i use vmware to build a virtual machine with 20M harddisk, make it boot
