Hello ALL, I've got a diskless server working (under Gentoo), booting on it works. (a linux session start with no problem.) My Big problem, is to get Memdisk to boot with PXE. In fact memdisk is loaded, but it cannot find the img file. I've tried a lot of thing, but nothing works... tftp use : /diskless the config file for PXE in then in : /diskless/pxelinux.cfg/ the root for the

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

Having looked at some of the discussions circulating before, I tried the recipe that Bruce Bryne suggested to make a memory stick to be a RedHat EL bootable file system for RedHat installation, but then hit a "missing operating system" problem. Below are the steps I took: a. mkdosfs /dev/sdc1 b. mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/stick c. cp rhas3u2/isolinux/* /mnt/stick where rhas3u2 is the

I saw a section entitled "PXELINUX and the Windows Remote Install Server", but there was nothing below it. I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Any advise would be appreciated. Do you suggest PXE, Etherboot, or Netboot? Could someone explain the difference? I still haven't figured out how all this fits together yet. Thanks.

Hi, I successfully boot up diskless client to DOS. In my dhcpd.conf, I have specified the MAC address of each network card like : host client1 { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; } When I removed the host client {...}, my client will not get the DHCP address. I do not wish to key in thousands of MAC address in the dhcpd.conf when I implement this. Any help? Thanks.

Need help/suggesion/idea on the below implementation of pxe n/w In our n/w we have "one" pxe server , which when fails affects all the systems that boots up.

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost.

Hi, A colleague of mine today showed me his dhcp/tftp configuration with pxelinux. He booted, from the network, an intel based machine with no disk. I was impressed. So I looked at the configuration he was using and it was simple....he had ISC dhcpd v2 and a tftp server configured as detailed on your web site. Curious, I suggested that he move the tftp server to another machine (on a

Hi all, I'm new to this mailing list but I'm using this product since I'm in charge of making a clustering distribution using PXE of course.

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server.

Hi all, I've just found a small bug this morning. My pxelinux.cfg contains 65 entries. The last one is never usable by pxelinux.0. It sounds like the number of entries is managed on 6 bits :) Is there a reason for that ? Is it possible to have a bugfix for that ?

Your PxeLinux is really a good product and contains really good features (i.e memdisk). But PxeLinux is a very low level program, contains assembly code and seems to no be portable to Itanium architectures. Does a version of PxeLinux planned for Itanium architecture ? PS:On my configuration, option pxelinux.reboottime (code 211) you give in your documentation removes my "default router"

I've found with one of my collegue a strange "bug" when I'm using isolinux. I know that we are using a modified isolinux 1.76 but I'd like to know if some of you knows the reason of this.
