I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the RedHat Linux network boot disk for an ftp install. I have done this for RedHat 7.2 and 7.3. I followed the same procedure I used for the other RedHat boot disks using the RedHat 8.0 boot disk and syslinux didn't work. Syslinux boots the system, gets the boot: prompt and dies. The error message is can not find ramdisk image and then cannot find

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required

Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,

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

Hello, I would like to install a Windows 2000 Server and configure it with RIS (remote installation services). The server is in a domain where a Samba 3 server, a machine with SuSE Linux and Samba 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE, plays the PDC role. The PDC works well. When I try to configure RIS in the application wizard (appwiz.cpl) of that Windows 2000 Server machine, it tells me that the setup for RIS

gpxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can't work with microsoft RIS (startrom.n12),but pxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can work with microsoft RIS well. keeppxe can't work in 3.74.

I was trying to use my windows RIS server to deploy linux so as to require user authentication. After seaching the internet I found that it was possible but not very well explained after alot of tinkering I eventually got it to work. Here is my documentation so hopefully others can do it in less time than I, feel free to comment and improve.. ************************ On RIS Server Create

Christian "Dr. Disk" Henchelmann just sent me a nice writeup on how to set up PXELINUX and Windoze RIS at the same time. I've posted his writeup on the web: http://syslinux.zytor.com/ris.php I hope this is useful for some people :) -hpa

Real quick background on what I'm doing now, and what I'm trying to do: We are using PXELinux with VA's SystemImager software to image new servers over our network. It's been working beautifully since the fall of 2000 using a 2.2 kernel. (Long and short: we bootstrap with PXE, use the initrd as the root file system, partition, mount and rsync the new drive, reconfigure, lilo

I've put up some notes on my experiences which I hope will be useful to some people, especially since there is so little information on the Web. Perhaps they could be added to the pxelinux site. http://www.tarantule.btinternet.co.uk/ris.htm Patrick

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

I've built samba by hand before , but I've never seen this message, perhaps you can shed some light. I suddenly can't get past the ./configure script. ./configure --prefix=/usr/samba --with-winbind --with-automount gives me the following error: checking for conflicting AUTH_ERROR define in rpc/rpc.h ... no checking for test routines ... configure: error: can't find

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

We are attempting to setup an automated system to build some Linux systems. We have utilised the PXELINUX bootloader after encountering the PXE 512Kb limit with bootp. We now have another issue which you may have already run into. In the DHCP configuration we specify pxelinux.0 as the bootfile, this works reasonable well, we call the Redhat vmlinuz and initrd.img files within the

I am experimenting with the blockcopy command, and after figuring out how to integrate qemu-nbd, nbd-client and dumpxml/undefine/blockcopy/define/et. al. I have one remaining question: What's the point? The "replication" disk file is not, from what I can ascertain, bootable. I expect this operation to create a pristine copy of my source qcow2 file (at a given point in time)

I have converted my parent's computer to Linux (Fedora Core 3) and have down-loaed Crossover and tried to get three applications working. TurboTax 2004 -> Works great Peachtree-> Still broken and no error output (this is lower priority) FreeCell -> Getting error below Of all the applications I need (for political reasons:>) Freecell is the most critical. I was NOT expecting this

Hi everyone, I''ve pushed out my current kernel git tree to a new branch called integration-test. This is meant for integration testing only and should not be run by anyone who doesn''t love crashes. I''ve pulled together a lot of important work from a lot of different people. It includes: The new inode number allocator Delayed inode and directory item updates Scrub,

Hello everyone, I have a curious problem that seemingly came out of nowhere. After searching through the archives, I see that I am not the first to discover this problem, but so far, no solution has been found. In June 99, Mark Drummond mentioned a similar problem. Recently, I started seeing nmbd errors on the console. A little poking around revealed a log file full of these errors. Below is a
