Hello PXE folk, I mentioned in another thread that I had problems finding an etherboot that actually works with a 486 and Realtek 8019/NE2000 card. Etherboot worked up until v 5.3.5-mc1 with the ne driver but then stopped working between 5.3.7 to 5.3.13 (anoying since 5.3.7 started supporting PXELINUX. But then I downloaded 5.3.14 and it seems to work again with the ne driver (finally

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

Hi All, I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / testing purposes. Installing RHEL5 from ISO images works ok, no problems with installation. The problem occurs with PXE boot - it is simply doesn't try to do PXE boot, according to what I can see: Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk FATAL: No bootable device. _ I have: CentOS

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

Hi there, I do not know if it has to do with my english knowledge, but I tried several times to understand the difference beetween Etherboot and PXE-Linux. I know that Etherboot can be put on a Nic's ROM, but for what on h*ll then is the Etherboot floppy for? Please, could someone explain me stupid person these things? Thanks a lot. Greets, Thorsten

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second

Question for people... Has anyone actually tried running PXELINUX on top of Etherboot? There is something in Etherboot 5.1.7 called FREEBSD_PXEEMU, which seems to be a PXE stack subset, in particular it seems to support the following calls: PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO PXENV_UDP_OPEN PXENV_UDP_WRITE PXENV_UDP_READ PXENV_UDP_CLOSE PXENV_UNLOAD_STACK PXENV_UNDI_SHUTDOWN This happens to be pretty

PXE-On-A-Disk from (ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html) was posted on syslinux mailing list: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-December/006222.html. It is being mentioned by syslinux wiki, or some other documentation of syslinux that I currently can't find. I tried etherboot2ethersel.pl from PXE-On-A-Disk (ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html)

I'm not sure if this belongs here or on an etherboot list. I've given up on trying to get a single floppy syslinux with enough stuff to remote mount a file system. I'm trying an etherboot floppy. When I boot the system finds the dhcp server and gets the right file name but then it gives me the message "not a valid image." A quick search of the net didn't help much.

Hello, Is there any possibility pxelinux could have the ability to pull its kernel/ramdisk/disk images/etc via http instead of tftp? I would really like the ability to pxe boot a machine, have it tftp pxelinux and its config file. Then, all the files listed in the config file are pulled via http.

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Upstream etherboot accepted a patch (attached) to fix wrapping of the TFTP block index. Without the patch we are unable to boot recent Solaris over the network in HVM guests (because our miniroot now exceeds 64k blocks). Whilst unstable has moved on to gpxe (which doesn''t suffer from this problem), it would be useful to us for this to be fixed in the stable series. Any preferences on
