similar to: Passing TFTP server IP address via pxelinux config file

Hello list, I need to load windows automatically. I have Argon Technologies CMS (Client Management Systems). http://argontechnology.com I have always had problems with this product because it uses the old MS DOS NET Client 3.0 with a LAN manager stack to copy the files from a Microsoft share. What I need is a Linux boot floppy that will remove partition 1 and re-create it then format as fat

I'd like to add a user-friendly menuing system to pxelinux replacing/enhancing the default on the pxelinux.cfg/default Where can I find instructions on how to get started? Regards, Conrad Lawes Sr. Technical Analyst Argon Technology

Hello, I'm new to Linux and quite inexperienced - sorry. I set up about 20 PXE servers with several tools as different boot images. Two of the tools require files to be loaded from the TFTP after the kernel has loaded. Currently I do the following in pxelinux.cfg/default: label abc kernel def append TFTP://2.3.4.5/xyz My PXE boot images are set on one master server and from there

I posted this to the group last year, but the problem was not fixed so I will give it another try. I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the Fedora Core boot disk to my clients for an ftp install. I also have ghost boot disks, bios update disks, and a video bios repair disk all using the 3Com PXE server. The problem is when I try to boot a Linux kernel. With all versions of syslinux since 1.72

Hello Shao, Thank you for your hint. I saw this one already earlier but I wanted to avoid it for two reasons: - One of my images uses a CPIO INITRD which I found rather complicated editing (like I wrote I'm quite new to all that Linux stuff). - For each new release I will need to do the changes to the prebuilt images again. I'm not the one who creates the images. I'm downloading

I am using pxelinux to boot a dos image using memdisk. Now what I'd like to do is connect via tftp and fetch an additional file from DOS. I am using the 'keeppxe' memdisk option; can I access the pxe stack from DOS, and retrieve the TFTP server address? I am using MS-DOS currently, and syslinux-1.76. -- Andre Dalle [andre at dalle.ca]

Spike, There are multiple binaries that come with syslinux. I would highly recommend that you start with the official syslinux pre-built's of pre-7 on kernel.org. You will find inside an syslinux.efi in a 64 bit folder and one in an 32 bit folder. These are the files that you need to point your clients to for efi booting. pxelinux.0 is for bios booting only.

I haven't encountered this problem before. This is from a Compaq DL320, with Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17 and tftp-hpa-0.28 running on Solaris. The PXE stack gets its IP address just fine, but it times out on the TFTP. While snooping on the Solaris box and grepping for TFTP, I found that the box gets one block of the TFTP transfer just fine. TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)

Hello ! I'm french, my english is bad :-( I want to boot a computer by network which have a 3Com network card. So I use isc-DHCP, TFTP-hpa and PXELinux. The computer start, make a dhcp request, receive the configuration. The next step is to contact the tftp server to get pxelinux.0 and the configuration. Stop me if I made an error ;) So, in the network I want to use it, there is a dhcp

I know this is an old thread, but since I ran into this problem and spun my wheels on it for a few hours, I want to point out something subtle in this thread I missed: You must use the pre-compiled binaries in the tarball for this to work. I downloaded the tarball for syslinux 6.03 release and also tried 6.04-pre and 6.03-pre7, and did a make, and the resulting EFI binary still exhibited the

Hello, I wonder if it is possible to change pxelinux.0's tftp prefix... I want to setup a repository like that: |-- dist1 | |-- pxelinux.cfg | | `-- default | `-- pxelinux.0 |-- dist2 | |-- pxelinux.cfg | | `-- default | `-- pxelinux.0 |-- pxelinux.cfg | |-- default | `-- menu.c32 `-- pxelinux.0 The file /pxelinux.cfg/default would contain something like that: >

Actually, better than expected, as no tftp > file size limit is incurred.

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

I've only had failures on gcc-4.6 with EFI builds.

There are no pre-compiled binaries (official or otherwise) on kernel.org. I assume what is meant is https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ At least, that is where the "downloads" page of syslinux.org directs you. Under there are the various source tarballs (tar.gz format, tar.bz2 format). Also a directory called RPMS/. But that kernel.org RPMS/ directory is devoid of

That's what I'm failing with. What version of GCC works?

Hey, I have a problem booting certain machines with pxelinux. I have pxelinux.0 in the root of my tftp server and dhcp pointing to the right location: # dhcpd.conf authoritative; option domain-name "example.net"; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 86400; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.20; server-name
