similar to: PXELINUX with all-Windows DHCP/TFTP servers?

I noticed some links and suggestions on the SYSLINUX web site that reference how to run TFTP on Windows 2000 Server. Two of them suggest installing RIS, and one of them points to a third-party utility. I don't need to install RIS, because I don't want to run Windows setup over PXE. (In fact, I want to use PXELINUX to boot a DOS floppy and run Symantec Ghost to deploy an image.) Also, I

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

I want to chain multiple servers with pxelinux initiated from a ris server. (Correct me if i'm wrong) The Ris server sends a tftp-path-prefix location where the pxelinux.cfg is searched. On the ris server I have entries like: label server2 kernel 192.168.1.2::pxelinux.0 This fetches the pxelinux from server2 but the pxeconfig.cfg from server1 is used. Can I overrule this with an

We are thinking of using pxe boot with a windows ris server to start off a Centos 4 install. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks Dean

Having the same trouble that Mark ( http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-March/000244.html) had over a test platform I have here. Having a redhat 7.3 with dhcp V3.0rc12 and atftp (0.6.2) on a local small hub and a W2k Server with RIS installed. If I stop binlsvc on nt server my network boot run ok to pxelinux, but as soon as binlsvc is started, RIS server always respond over my local

Greetings Luis, I saw a thread about Startrom.com and startrom.o that had your name attached... I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an issue that I have. I have a Linux server that is our corporate PXE server. It is set up in a logical folder structure so that a host can be pointed to boot a variety of different OS's (DOS, Linux loaders, Windows PE). Here is in my dilemma,

After the PXE PROM code downloads and runs the pxelinux.0 image and it tries to download config information the client stops acknowledging the server OACK packets from the server. pxelinux from syslinux 3.11 from Fedora RPM, accessing Solaris 10 in.tftpd The tftp client in pxelinux.0 sends a tftp file read request with extended options tsize \00 0 \00 blksize \00 1440 \00 and then the server

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this, but I'm pretty much out of options on where to go. I'm using the pxelinux version of tftp. Everything has worked well up to this point, however I've been trying to impliment a pxe bartpe solution in our office. Unfortunatly tftp is not passing the files correctly to the client. Here's the rundown. Server client connects to

Ive got a mucho-kludgo (but working) setup where; pxe-client boots an os-du-jour in runlevel 2, rc.2 runs a test-script that ends in a reboot, meanwhile, on tftp-server host, a script watches the syslog, notes the arrival of an RRQ message for a kernel, and runs a program to rewrite the pxelinux.cfg/default file so that it causes a different kernel to boot the next time. This setup lets me

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

Hello specialists In setting up a diskless X-Terminal I got stuck with the transfer of the ramdisk from the server to the target. With a ramdisk image size of about 60 Mb things go well, the file gets transfered completely and Linux boots perfectly. With a ramdisk image size of about 104 Mb the tftp transfer of the kernel succeds but the transfer of the ramdisk image fails. As tftp daemon I

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

Hello, I'm working on getting BartPE (normally a LiveCD of Windows XP) network booted by PXE from a Linux TFTPD server. Normally a M$ RIS server with Active Directory and stuff is necessary, but the basic filetransfers are all done by TFTP and SMB and can therefore be delivered by a Linux machine. I'm referring to this documentation http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php how to do

Hey guys, We are going with WDS to fire up first to get the benefits of targeted M$ deployments. If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off anything you want to including PXELinux. The stuff I was talking about before with PXELinux not working in

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to

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

Hello. I am trying to run advanced dialog-like menus from com32. But I can not boot anything... ? it always fails. :-) So, my /path/to/pxelinux.cfg/default looks like this: --------------8<-------------- DEFAULT pxemenu/fancy.c32 PROMPT 0 IMPLICIT 1 TIMEOUT 600 LABEL test MENU LABEL Test KERNEL suse10_3/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=suse10_3/initrd.img ....(and so on)....
