Hi I have used pxelinux successfully in some situations. However, I am unable to boot IBM NetVista thin clients using pxelinux. The kernel that does boot up these thin clients over the net is in elf format (it is called kernel.2200). # file kernel.2200 kernel.2200: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped So, I would have liked to compile

Hi, Is there anything that controls the speed with which pxelinux.0 (4.03) enumerates the files in .../pxelinux.cfg before it reaches the .../pxelinux.cfg/default file ? pxelinux.cfg/01-00-50-56-ba-48-0e pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D9 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B pxelinux.cfg/AC12 pxelinux.cfg/AC1 pxelinux.cfg/AC

It looks like someone else also has the same problem: http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-September/000848.html I don't know much about Intel i386 asm. Otherwise, I will send a patch :-).

I am trying to set a uniform PXE environment to load multiple distros. RHEL 5.1 and 4.7 SUSE 10.2 and 11 Solaris 10 X86 Window Multiple server versions.... - Why? Because I am in hell. What I want is to have an upper level pxelinux.0 call the default menu directories that come with the releases. Is there a way to call pxelinux.0 and point it at a different pxelinux.cfg directory?

Hi, i have a strange problem since pxelinux 3.62 with the F10 help key. I configured this: DISPLAY pxelinux.cfg/schlunix_new.txt F1 pxelinux.cfg/helps/schlunix F2 pxelinux.cfg/helps/schlunix64 F3 pxelinux.cfg/helps/rescue F4 pxelinux.cfg/helps/rescue64 F5 pxelinux.cfg/helps/stress F6 pxelinux.cfg/helps/stress64 F7 pxelinux.cfg/helps/dosimages F8 pxelinux.cfg/helps/mailsystem F9

When chainloading one pxelinux from another (e.g., chainloading from say pxelinux 4.07 to pxelinux 6.02), can one pass parameters or somehow control the root directory and/or server IP address? Here's the need: we have a loaded-up PXE server working great under 4.07, and I'm not prepared to just switch the entire setup to a newer version of pxelinux, too many folks depending on a

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: >

Hi friends... I am using pxelinux but it is so slow when I don't write MAC addresses in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf so How do I can use pxelinux.cfg/default directly and not have to wait?

Hi! As documented: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX When pxelinux "boots" it is looking for this: /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000

Hello! I have some weird problem. I have pxelinux(3.10) configured fine. Os: FreeBsd 6.1, tftp-hpa 0.41, some version of dhcpd from ports. It worked before on another machine which's hd passed away and i lost my working example. Configured new computer as boot server...

Hi Peter, i am a netboot user of Linux platform. right now, i got a problem. after establishment a new pxe server, the clients boot from the network. and i just do some experiment of reboot on the clients. but i am surprise of the clients booting failure after several cycles. and i got the info of the clients can not download the config file, such as: Trying to load:

I know it's possible to set a DHCP parameter to tell pxelinux to use a mac address as the pxelinux cfg file name-- is it possible to tell it to use the IP it is being assigned as the filename?

Hi, I am new to this list, but would greatly appreciate any help on the topic. We are trying to automate the build/installation of a pSeries machine using kickstart server. We have a process in place that completes a system build of xSeries machines. It uses pxelinux.0 to direct the bootp to the kernel, ramdisk and kickstart.config file. I was trying to use the same process to build the pSeries

Hi, Since which version of pxelinux.0 is understood in pxelinux.cfg/default that kernel http://host.lan/netboot/vmlinuz means vmlinuz should be transported over HTTP?

We encountar a somewhat odd problem. We use pxelinux to boot a linux cluster and when we reboot all 103 of the nodes some of the won't start since the tftp-servere looses the arp-entry _between_ it downloads the pxelinux.0 and the config file! pxelinux doesn't seem to answer the arp-requests either in this phase. We run linux 2.4.22 on the tftp-server which also is dhcp-server and

Can someone tell me what is supposed to go into pxelinux.cfg/default ? I get the intial transfer of pxelinux.0 to the client and I'm not really sure what is supposed to happen next.. I get an error msg about TFTP server does not support the tsize option, but that may be simply because the corret file isn't there to be transferred. Can I download the correct file from anywhere? I
