Hello, I hope this doesn't bounce again... I'm having trouble passing control of the PXE process from PXELINUX to the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. I tried invoking "pxeboot" from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. This causes an error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I named pxeboot "pxeboot.0" and tried invoking pxeboot.0 from the

Hi Folks, I have configured pxelinux.0 to allow chain-booting freebsd pxeboot.0 from it like this: label fbsdpxe KERNEL pxeboot.0 This works as expected, so no issue with that. There's one weird thing however. If I rename pxeboot.0 to pxeboot (omitting .0) and change the config file accordingly it throws this error at me: Invalid or corrupt kernel image. Same happens if I

Hello... In the split-second before the reboot, I can see that the pxeboot.0 process is indeed started-- pxeboot gets out just over 2 lines of text before the reboot occurs. So it's not a "ready" message. The text in question is (without *'s): ****************************************** PXE Loader 1.00 Building the boot loader arguments Relocating the loader and the

I've just been playing with PXELINUX 1.74, and I can't get NBP chaining to work. First problem is that the code doesn't appear to recognize .0 files. I could be completely mistaken (x86 assembler isn't my forte) but I think the problem in pxelinux.asm is here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .one_step: mov ecx,[di-4]

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

> - PXELINUX: Support changing the default server and boot file prefix? > - Support loading a new configuration file. What are the time frames/progress on these? Would it be possible for pxelinux.0 to accept command line arguments, like: KERNEL pxelinux.0 APPEND keeppxe conf=<new config file> I also need a way to change the boot server ip that is left in the pxe stack, i.e. I want

IRC user ernini first noticed this. We both tried using gpxe/gpxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. ernini used pxechain to a commercial NBP which RETs (the same as PXELINUX) and failed. Both of us had success with core/pxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. For my test, I have a VM in VMware Server 2.0.2 (VMHW v7). I loaded gpxelinux.0 using the VM's built-in PXE ROM. Then I used

Greetings, I spent the better part of a day tracking down a rather annoying problem. I would like someone more knowledgeable than myself to confirm this diagnosis. I have a RH 8.0 Linux box with three NICS. I had been developing it testing with an XP box. Everything seemed groovy. Today I went to put it into "production" and Win98 clients were having all sorts of problems.

Hi Peter et al, Just wanted to let you know my heartfelt appretiation of what you and the other devs have done in integrating gpxe and pxelinux... it works wonderfully well for me... I simply swapped my pxelinux.0 for my gpxelinux.0 and modified my pxelinux.cfg/default to use urls to refer to the kernel and initial ram disk images and it worked perfectly (dns resolution and all). This is a huge

Thanks for your email. Yes it does provide some insight into why I could hack a Linux DHCP server into providing enough PXE boot information for PXE 3 clients but PXE 2.1 were happy (ROMs under many circumstances need to use proxy dhcp 4011 - as documented by IBM on the link I shared earlier). It appears only the most latest Dell business systems have EFI 64 support, and the best you can expect

Hi everybody Attached you will find a file pxe.mnu (encoded with mime). It is PXE menu file created by 3COM MBA IMGEdit.exe tool. It is very strange since: 1) When I point DHCP bootfile to this file it loads with no problem and the menu is displayed. 2) When I point DHCP bootfile to pxelinux.0 and in pxelinux.cfg I put the command "KERNEL pxe.mnu" then system hangs. I wonder why this

I've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

Attempting to PXE boot from the BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/images/pxeboot/ files results in repeating messages Invalid or corrupt kernel image eventually changing to Could not find kernel image: centos8.2.x86_64/vmlinuz I downloaded the files again, from a different mirror, and they are all the same. Wiped the files and recreated /tftpboot/linux-install/centos8.2.x86_64/. No dice. First mirror
