similar to: Serial console with pxelinux on Soekris net4501

Dear all, I'm trying to boot a recent PXELINUX on a brand new Soekris net4501 (comBIOS 1.33). This combination appears to not work out of the box... I see much advice floating around from a few years ago, hinting that earlier versions of PXELINUX might have worked. However before resorting to archaeology I'd be interested in feedback from others who might have got through this. I

And indeed pxelinux.0 goes much further than lpxelinux.0!

Hello all, I'm testing a home LAN server inside Virtualbox - figured it'd be easier to build (and fix) things inside a virtual sandbox first, and then migrate over to a physical install once I have most of the kinks worked out. The host OS is Windows Vista; the guest OS will be various Linux distributions for education/entertainment purposes. First, a little explanation on the

Just got a net4501 board, installed cf card/Monowall. Does anyone have a monowall firewall with Asterisk behind it, any problems, can external SIP phones work? What firewall rules are you using? Chris Mason Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759

Hi, I''m seeking advice for the following setup. Shorewall 2.2.2, debian/sarge on Soekris net4501 boards. We have two ISP feeds (let''s call them ISP-1 and ISP-2) and get 8 static IPs with each feed. The plan is to have the publicly accessible servers sitting in the DMZ connected to ISP-1. Our local intranet (LOC) will be connected to ISP-2. There will be 3 firewall/routers: fw1

Hi All, I have a Soekris 4801 running Asterisk and I tried to add a X100P FXO card only to find that the Soekris will not boot with the card installed. The LEDs flash for a second and then nothing, it does not boot. I've tried 2 different X100p cards, both of which work in a regular desktop system, and still have no luck. I tried a different Soekris 4801 with no luck. I've also tried a

Hello, Recently I have discovered a problem with serial console output when net-booting a Soekris net5501 board via pxe. When using pxelinux.0 from syslinux 4.04 package I get only 15 characters from the output, then the carriage returns back to the same line over and over again, making it impossible to read the output. What is more the booting process (trying configuration files with

Hi group, i'm brand new and i would like to ask about soekris hardware. I read along the web but i have some doubts that i think can be solved here.

Any suggestions about where to pick up another box? 2) does the Digium TDM100P (already discontinued) fits fine in a

Hi. I am trying to use EXTLINUX 3.08 to boot a Soekris net4801 from a CompaqFlash card. BIOS reports the CF card as the first master harddisk. During boot/load the loader hangs after this output: EXTLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19 PXELINUX and LILO works fine on the same setup It this a general problem with Soekris/net4801 and EXTLINUX?
