Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hallo, I am currently installing XEN on an ARM64 EFI machine. (Debian Testing), Therefore, I installed the following packages: __________________________________________________________________ root at armbox:/etc# dpkg -l "xen*" | awk '/^ii/ {print $2 "\t\t" $3}' xen-hypervisor-4.6-arm64 4.6.0-1+nmu2 xenstore-utils 4.6.0-1+nmu2 root at

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

Hello Xen folks, I use Debian Squeeze. I want to passthrough PCI devices. With the old stable Debian (grub legacy) i did not have problems. I edit /etc/default/grub like: quote: GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="quiet xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.2)(01:05.1)" I run "update-grub". Now i look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen

From: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> If a loaded kernel is in ELF format and contains a multiboot header indicating valid relocation information, prefer the informations from the ELF header. This is in violation of the Multiboot spec, but it's the way GRUB does things and Solaris kernels rely on this behaviour. Signed-of-by: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> --- diff

Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Hello I'm working on my RIS server; I got a problem when I use pxelinux.0 to load setupldr.exe from windows XP 32bits (both home and corporate) Here is how I configure a working server, then how to modify it to reproduce the bug: ========================= I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule

Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a

I just joined this list, though I'm a long-time syslinux user. I read the archives before joining and saw HPA's thread on "syslinux vs grub". As he solicited feedback, I'll give mine here. I use both syslinux and grub, in somewhat different situations. I appreciate both syslinux's clarity and grub's features. For machines booting off hard disk, I generally use

I did 2 zip files containing each: - a working tftp-root with syslinux 3.75 - a not working tftp-root wit syslinux 3.81 They have ben build and tested using the instructions given in my first message. The bug appears starting syslinux 3.81, NOT 3.80 (I tried too many versions) The zip files are available here: http://t.bugier.free.fr/tftp-root--fail.zip

Hi, I need help about the stuff in nilo that gets burnt on a rom to make it a pxe bootrom. In etherboot, it's the file .rom and .lzrom etc. please help me indentify, what component in nilo is used with an eeprom writer to create a pxe bootrom from a 27c512 eprom. thanx and regards, milan -- Powered by Outblaze

Hi All: I found this old message on the web archives. I've gotten Xen working with PXELinux, albeit with something of a hack. The basic chain is: 1. pxelinux 2. memdisk 3. FAT16 floppy image 4. grub installed on floppy image 5. xen.gz and vmlinuz on floppy image While this seems pretty simple, the key bits were to use: 1. FAT16 (not ext2, etc) for the floppy image 2. use the 'raw'

Hello, This is my first post ever in a mailing-list so I hope I do the things correctly. First, thank's to the author for these amazing tools. With Isolinux, I am making my own DVD multiboot with multiple liveCDs combined. I can get to work everything without even modifying livecds hierarchy. But now I need an important function that I can't get to work: DISPLAY boot.msg In fact to be

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

Hi all, I have just been informed that Netboot (http://netboot.sourceforge.net/) can be used to produce PXE boot ROMs. I wonder if anyone has tried running this combination with PXELINUX? This is obviously a really big deal... :) -hpa
