similar to: TFTP & Network after booting kernel

Dear Sir, I am using PXES for booting diskless computer to win2k, and/or LTSP servers. The problem is we have many computers in our lab have different computers, so i require different .initrd files for each group of computers. Can i have different /pxelinux.cfg/default files so that i can define different locations for my boot files. Thanks in advance. Limesh Parekh, Enjay Computer

Hi, I'm using syslinux to boot Linux off a network server running tftpd and dhcpd. The server is running RH 7.3 with syslinux version 2.06 and pxe-0.1-31.99.7.3 installed from the rpm. I created a 2880 K floppy image using syslinux and populated it with the Linux kernel images: vmlinuz, and initrd.img (trimmed of some modules) from RH 9, also, syslinux.cfg with kickstart information. The

I would like to be able to create a 2.88MB bootable floppy image to hold the kernel and initrd -- will be used for automated install. In various newsgroups there have been many posting attempting to describe how to achieve this, but none of them is complete. Can syslinux be used to achieve this? What about memdisk? Thank you in advance. Fet

Hi there, As I could not find a direct maintainer email address, I'm sending this to the mailing list. SysLinux, being a GPL product, is being sold under a very restrictive license without even offering the sources to the public. I've written up my findings here: http://www.palli.nl/~ivo/rdp/ Please have a look for yourself. Regards, Ivo Palli

Hi all, We are hoping to update our BIOSes remotely with pxelinux and memdisk (it is for a 600 node Beowulf cluster with no floppy access). The DOS floppy loads and starts, however somehow the flash utility 'phlash.exe' or 'phlash16.exe' are both unable to load the provided rom image and just stop doing nothing. It looks like it can't access the rom image somehow, which is

It seems that quite a bit of stuff built up very quickly after the 2.07 release: Changes from 2.07 to 2.08-pre6: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is

Dear R user, I asked for packages which should be mentioned in a ecological related presentation of R and would like to summarize the replies. First of all E. Paradis pointed out, that he would prefer to see R presented in a different way, please read his whole reply https:// www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-December/041951.html. Packages which

I have DHCP and TFTP on a Solaris machine, pxelinux.0 loads, but it can't load the configuration file. The tftp server on Solaris tries to send the file, but data transfers do not receive ACKs. Previous posts to this list have indicated that the suspect was the PXE BIOS (ref "PXELinux can't load the config file?" dated March 20, 2003). Does that still appear to be the case

Hi, I've got another one... NFS error 101 with NFSROOT has been discussed a lot, and hpa gave an answer to it which appears right.

On a customer's machine running SuSE 9.2, the size of the occupied space on the harddisk is reported incorrectly by "df -h". After we noticed the problem, I rebooted the machine and had it checked by "e2fsck" (check forced with "tune2fs -C 40", we are not on location). Right after the reboot I proceeded as follows, but I could not find any information about
