similar to: Problem loading 2.6 Kernel with syslinux + etherboot

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

Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.:

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

Hi, [I sent this mail again because my previous mail was rejected by ML for some reason] This topic is originally from etherboot ML. When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). pxelinux returns to PXE with localboot return code but etherboot doesn't check it. I was trying to change

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

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)

CentOS-Virt, I ran into an error attempting to offer two boot options using libvirt with kvm. I wanted the virtual to first attempt to boot from its "disk" and if that didn't work, fall back on netboot (we kickstart install). This argument is "-boot cn". If the disk you provide is of type IDE this will probably work for you, unless you use "-drive" with the

Folks: I've used etherboot to create a zrom that successfully brings a image of a bootable floppy into high memory. What I'd like to do is glue memdisk in so that it can hook int13 and serve the transferred image for booting when etherboot hands control back to the BIOS. The trick, and this is where I'd appreciate "gotchas", pointers or "this is an approach I

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

I am trying to come up with a 'clever' way to pxe-boot boxes that don't have any way to pxe boot. as in, old laptops that only have pc-mica nics. "Etherboot does not (yet) offer support for PCMCIA cards." http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support I am not trying to do 'that' - just trying to come up with a process to work around it. Something like this:

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

Hi, (this is a topic from etherboot ML). When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). I was trying to change etherboot side but it was not easy to me. So I simply replaced pxelinux local_boot: with isolinux's one with little modification. It may be better that pxelinux.cfg also allows to

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?
