similar to: tftp-hpa versus atftpd

It seems that tftpd-hpa is more suitable at serving arbitrarily large files (greater than 65535 blocks long; with pxelinux.0 using a default block size of 1408 this is 92,273,280 bytes) as atftpd will complain in the log stating "Requested file to big, increase BLKSIZE". I saw that a while back HPA mentioned that atftpd was probably more scalable (number of clients) while tftpd-hpa is

Hi... I''m interested to find out how many people are running tftp-hpa versus atftpd. I''m almost a bit surprised in how many people seem to be using tftp-hpa; for modern Unix systems (including Linux), I would in general assume atftpd to be a better choice. If you have tried both and specifically chosen (as opposed to "it was already installed", etc.) I''d

Gene and co, Now my pxelinux efi 64 boot is properly loading syslinux.efi (via TFTP) It then issues a TFTP file request for efi.x64/pxelinux.cfg/ldlinux.e64. (All my efi x64 content is under efi.x64/pxelinux.cfg). However, I see that it fails to properly negotiate the TFTP options with my TFTP server. so it never transfers ldlinux.e64 over. In its file request packet, it asks for these TFTP

I'm trying to network boot a thin client using pxelinux. I had this working about a year ago but have since reinstalled my OS (went from RH9 to FC2). I'm using atftpd. The thin client gets the dhcp address fine and requests pxelinux.0. Eventually, it just times out. Here's the relevant info from /var/log/messages: Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: Advanced Trivial FTP server started

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

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

Hi, i'm trying to get my VIA Epia with VIA Rhine ethernet device to boot PXELinux. I have done this before, but now i can't get it to work. The machine loads pxelinux.0, i see some messages. But it fails just after trying reading the first config file (the one with the mac address). It kinda says this (transcribed): CLIENT IP: 192.168.1.23 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 192.168.1.93

I'm trying to boot linux on a VIA EPIA-M board (a Nehemiah-based M10000), and I'm having some trouble with it. I'm watching the network transactions with ethereal, and I'm seeing a failure at what appears to be the tftp stage. The M10000 picks up its IP address from the dhcp server (ISC DHCP3), and reports it correctly on the screen. Then the tftp session starts, and I get the

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

Hi, I am looking for a TFTP server that is easy like the tftpd32 for Windows that I have been using. Just want to start it with a command and my Cisco can connect and retreive the config files from it. Many thanks, Christian

Are there any open source efforts ( I haven't found any) that have a tftp server with a mysql backend? I'd like an incoming pxelinux request to give the tftp server the mac address, and then it performs a query to find out which configuration file it should get. Of course it would be great if some day tftp-hpa would integrate with libmysql.. Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE

Hi All, My PXE configurations works fine for a bios PXE (the server in legacy mode) but hangs in an EUFI mode. Look like it can transfer the bootx64.efi but not the next one ldlinux.e64 Any ideas?

Hi: I compiled and run tftp-hpa-0.33 on my Solaris 2.7 but it does not support file size larger than 16MB. The tftpd time out when 16MB of file is transfered. Can anyone offer a hint for how to enable tftp-hpa to support large file size ? Very appreciate Geefu Wang

Hi, can anyone recommend a Linux based TFTP server to go on an asterisk box? Thanks in advance Robb

First, THANKS! The SYSLINUX/PXELINUX s/w and docs are great. I have been able to set up a working server for PXE boot in very little time, using our existing Win2k DHCP server and a Red Hat 7.2 Linux server for tftp, etc... It took very little time (compared to an earlier effort 4 months ago.....) and the pxelinux/menu/memdisk environment is great for us. The environment seems to support PXE

If I omit --secure from the tftpd-hpa command line, I then need to e.g. `tftp -c get /var/lib/tftpboot/vmlinuz` instead of plain /vmlinuz, even though I pass /var/lib/tftpboot as the tftp dir in the tftpd-hpa command line. That essentially means that I'm exporting my whole /, which is clearly something I don't want to do. I basically want tftpd-hpa to serve files from /var/lib/tftpboot

I'm using tftp-hpa. I had disabled the blocksize option (-r blocksize) for some reason that I can't remember now. Re-enabling it and setting to 1468 gives the same results. Considering I'm using http to transfer the kernels, initrd and images, I don't think the slowness will be an problem. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I'm difficulty diagnosing a tftp-hpa problem. Specfically, when performing a PXE boot, the machine hangs at the "TFTP...." and times out. This is only occuring at one network location (we'll call it network A). Now on network B, the computers on network can tftp boot no problem. If I run a tftp client from my workstation to connect to the tftp-hpa server on network A, I can

How many simultaneous tftp connections can tftp-hpa handle? Thanks for any info. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
