similar to: Re: pxegrub + memdisk + dos + undi

sorry - i must have overlooked the part where you mentioned that.. my fault. What software are you looking at ? Altiris maybe ? I am, ofcourse interested in the option you are looking for. Please keep this list updated.

In our testing, pxelinux and Dos UNDI is much more stable than pxegrub with ten different nic drivers compiled in. The only thing holding us back on using pxelinux for all of our tftp images is the lack of a menu system. We are very close to buying a proprietary software but, I would much rather use an open source type solution. It should be possible to write some comboot code

I have an image of a dos floppy that loads the undi driver from 3com and mounts an smb share. This works great with pxelinux(from syslinux) and memdisk I need to make it work with pxegrub so we can use menus. (or figure out a menu system for pxelinux) With pxegrub I use memdisk as the kernel and load the dos image as a ramdisk. The undi driver loads and doesn't complain but, the network is

Hello i'm working on a netboot environement with a highly configurable menu system. for some parts i like to use pxelinux for others pxegrub. I can load both seperatly. Now what i want is to have the possibility to switch from une to another. I tried: to load pxelinux from pxegrub: menu.lst: title pxelinux root (nd) kernel (nd)/pxelinux.0 title pxelinux2 root (nd) kernel

....."We are looking at Argon, they seem to have the best menu system. The sad thing is, they dont support alot of our image types, we will use their menu system to select pxelinux which will do all the real work. So, they get the money just because they have a menu system, and pxelinux does most of the work. Another negative is the configuration is all done through a bad windows GUI."

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

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

It works! Now, is there a way to use this handler multiple times so different submenus can have different position values. -Aaron On Fri, 2 Apr 2004, ganapathy murali krishnan wrote: > You write your own menupos_handler (like in complex.c) and register the > handler. > > So all you need to do is to copy the code for the menupos_handler from > complex.c and modify it to suit

What is the difference between PXELINUX and bpbatch ? AFAICT, bpbatch doe not require a TFTP server which supports the 'tsize' option. So in the absence of such a server, I may need to explore bpbatch... It seems that bpbatch can be used to remotely boot DOS. Can PXELINUX also do this? -- John

I've recently moved from pxegrub to pxelinux (well, syslinux...) for many benefits. (memory fingerprint, etc) Its running perfectly, and exactly how I like it, except. LOCALBOOT 0 DOES NOT actually mount and boot the hard drive. All it seems to be doing is actually return error to the BIOS, which then boots the next device in it's list. This isnt a problem on most systems, but on

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs . I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel argument appended with BOOTIF : here is what i use : LABEL solaris MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND multiboot kernel/unix

Greetings. I have seen some postings asking if pxelinux can support the network booting of the virtual machine kernel known as Xen but i cannot find any positive answers. As has been reported pxegrub combined with nfsroot can be used, but for me nfsroot is an inconvenience. Has anyone been able to use pxelinux to boot a Xen kernel? Many Thanks Mike

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

Is there a way to use IPAPPEND 1 on the pxelinux command line. I want to be able to pass the whole command line in my menu files and not use the config file. Thanks Aaron
