similar to: [pxelinux] load image from other TFTP servers?

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... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

I haven't encountered this problem before. This is from a Compaq DL320, with Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17 and tftp-hpa-0.28 running on Solaris. The PXE stack gets its IP address just fine, but it times out on the TFTP. While snooping on the Solaris box and grepping for TFTP, I found that the box gets one block of the TFTP transfer just fine. TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

Hey, I have a problem booting certain machines with pxelinux. I have pxelinux.0 in the root of my tftp server and dhcp pointing to the right location: # dhcpd.conf authoritative; option domain-name "example.net"; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 86400; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.20; server-name

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: >

Hello ! I'm french, my english is bad :-( I want to boot a computer by network which have a 3Com network card. So I use isc-DHCP, TFTP-hpa and PXELinux. The computer start, make a dhcp request, receive the configuration. The next step is to contact the tftp server to get pxelinux.0 and the configuration. Stop me if I made an error ;) So, in the network I want to use it, there is a dhcp

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this, but I'm pretty much out of options on where to go. I'm using the pxelinux version of tftp. Everything has worked well up to this point, however I've been trying to impliment a pxe bartpe solution in our office. Unfortunatly tftp is not passing the files correctly to the client. Here's the rundown. Server client connects to

After the PXE PROM code downloads and runs the pxelinux.0 image and it tries to download config information the client stops acknowledging the server OACK packets from the server. pxelinux from syslinux 3.11 from Fedora RPM, accessing Solaris 10 in.tftpd The tftp client in pxelinux.0 sends a tftp file read request with extended options tsize \00 0 \00 blksize \00 1440 \00 and then the server

Thanks for your email. Yes it does provide some insight into why I could hack a Linux DHCP server into providing enough PXE boot information for PXE 3 clients but PXE 2.1 were happy (ROMs under many circumstances need to use proxy dhcp 4011 - as documented by IBM on the link I shared earlier). It appears only the most latest Dell business systems have EFI 64 support, and the best you can expect

Hello, I am pxebooting a large linux kernel (with embedded initramfs) that is around 250 MB in size. When booting a board in legacy BIOS mode, the pxelinux.0 executable is transferred to the board and takes over, from where loading and booting this large kernel works as expected. Actually, better than expected, as no tftp file size limit is incurred. If I change the BIOS settings to UEFI mode,

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

Dear syslinux list members, I'm a newbie on this list. I hope I don't offend anyone by being slightly off-topic. I had the problem of wanting multiple Linux distros (i.c. Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, SuSE, RedHat, CentOS, Fedora) installable from a single PXELinux menu, so I wrote a couple of scripts that do what is described below. The question is whether anyone would be interested in

Hello, Does PXELINUX support tftp BLOCK-SIZE option? If so, what would be the maximum BLOCK-SIZE that can be used for the transfer? The RFC says that the range can be [8 - 65536]. Thanks, Sowmya

I am using pxelinux to boot a dos image using memdisk. Now what I'd like to do is connect via tftp and fetch an additional file from DOS. I am using the 'keeppxe' memdisk option; can I access the pxe stack from DOS, and retrieve the TFTP server address? I am using MS-DOS currently, and syslinux-1.76. -- Andre Dalle [andre at dalle.ca]

Hey guys, We are going with WDS to fire up first to get the benefits of targeted M$ deployments. If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off anything you want to including PXELinux. The stuff I was talking about before with PXELinux not working in

Hi mailing list, I'm working on PXE booting a BartPE (=Windows XP) system from a server running hpa tftpd. In the initialization phase the files are requested from the boot server by TFTP, later the transfer is switched to SMB. Most of the problems during this tftp phase can be solved with the remapping feature quite nicely like: *converting filenames into absolute paths *convert
