similar to: UNDI NDIS DOS Driver

I am using memdisk to remotely flash the BIOS and other firmware. It works well for most flash programs. After the flash I need to initialize the NIC to send a signal to my management server that the flash is complete. I am curious as to how others have solved this problem. Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

I'm using PxeLinux to bot DOS images for an automated test application. After Running the DOS application program, I want to use the UNDI stack to send a completion status message to the server. I boot the DOS image with keeppxe, so that the UNDI stack will continue to be in memory. I am not clear as to what state the stack is left in after PxeLinux has loaded and transferred control to the

Hi All, I had some issues with keeppxe and also found a solution after much trial and error. I would have not mind trying out ?experimental? binaries but it was not clear where to find them. I use a stock a stock install of slackware64 current for my tftp server. I use pfsense to point to the tftp server under the dhcp boot options. I upgraded from Syslinux 6.03 to 6.04 pre1 and was still

Good day, I have the problem to pass the ?loaded? undi driver to the next bootloader. In current pxelinux ?lernel memdisk keeppxe harddisk raw initrd::parh_to_img? always unloads undi before memdisk (or other kernel) takes control. After many tries I found that the keeppxe feature is broken starting from version 6.03 pre 9. I tried to find the reason by comparing sources 6.03 pre 8 / 6.03

Hi all, I'm still trying to figure out a good way of booting a DOS disk image via PXE and accessing files over a network share. Having some success with the Microsoft network DOS client, it seems that many programs have issues with its IPX support - so, now I'm trying to use Novell's IPX driver instead. Unfortunately it seems I need an ODI driver to do this, and there are no

Hello, We use undi_drv.exe that is provided with Symantec Ghost Enterprise. This driver loads a UNDI PXE stack into memory. It, along with a UNDI packet driver are bundled into a 1.44MB disk image that we use for netbooting computer lab machines into the ghost client. This is done with pxelinux. This driver has been working fine for a couple years now. Recently, I upgraded the pxelinux.0 to

I have an image of a dos floppy that loads the undi driver from 3com and mounts an smb share. This works great with pxelinux(from syslinux) and memdisk I need to make it work with pxegrub so we can use menus. (or figure out a menu system for pxelinux) With pxegrub I use memdisk as the kernel and load the dos image as a ramdisk. The undi driver loads and doesn't complain but, the network is

Hello, I'm trying to create and boot a Win98SE-DOS OS through Hard Disk emulation. My src files are from a Win98SE 1440K floppy image file, with a x86 boot sector (dl'd from the net - I have no floppy drive and a slow net link 3.2KB). I don't know what to put into the partition boot record of my image and how to load dos.bss properly (the docs explain for floppy images not for HD

First off I love syslinux and it has worked flawless for us on the unix side of the realm. We're trying to use our ghost images within a dos netboot using syslinux. Unfortunatly we can only pass DHCP ip's to hosts that exhibit a vendor code 'like windows/pxe/and other os's do". Unfortunatly DOS does not, so we cannot request a second IP after the pxe process to map samba

I often boot DOS using MEMDISK and 33MB HD images for remote flashing. After my flash I need to activate the NIC and send a signal. Currently I use different packet drivers for different NICs, but this link below looks like a universal solution: http://www.emboot.com/products_UniversalPacketDriver.htm Does any thing else like this exist that is open source or freely available and freely

I've very new to this... what I want to achieve, is to have my clients network boot - and then be presented with a menu, allowing them *well, me* to choose what to do. Maybe, boot from the main hard disk, or boot a disk image from a samba share, or maybe even boot a CD image, instead of having the actual CD in the drive. Also, I would want to be able to change this menu, without actually

I have 4 Linux servers all running samba. Everything has been working fine until yesterday. With no changes to the network or to the servers samba has quit working right. The problems all relate to samba not being able to look up names against the master browser. When I try to mount using a windows pc name I get this error... [root@fileserver pdk]# mount -t smbfs -o username=pdk,passowrd=XXXXX

Pedro, Thanks for the feedback. HPA and all, Since we have confirmation that this patch fixes keeppxe (for the memdisk use case) for at least one other person, could we get it into the next syslinux release? http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2016-June/025216.html -- Adam On Sat, Dec 24, 2016 at 02:09:14PM +0100, Pedro Koschi wrote: > Hello Adam , thanx .

The git version of syslinux won't solve your problem. It doesn't have the keeppxe patch at this time. I can't help you to get pxelinux to load ldlinux.c32. I didn't write syslinux. I've Cc'd the mailing list. Maybe someone there can help you. -- Adam On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 07:38:53PM +0100, Pedro Koschi wrote: > Hello Adam, > I was able to compile syslinux in

Summary ======= I have a recommendation for a minor documentation change regarding 'keeppxe'. I lost some time on this and think that a clarification could save other people time in the future. pxelinux.doc should be tweaked to explicitly say that the "keeppxe" option should be given on the kernel command line through the APPEND statemen Detail ====== pxelinux.doc line 356
