I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought

Dear Sir, I am using PXES for booting diskless computer to win2k, and/or LTSP servers. The problem is we have many computers in our lab have different computers, so i require different .initrd files for each group of computers. Can i have different /pxelinux.cfg/default files so that i can define different locations for my boot files. Thanks in advance. Limesh Parekh, Enjay Computer

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'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

I configure an old Compaq Deskpro workstation to boot LTSP using PXE and DHCP. I have an error that say TFTP Open Timeout after this workstation got it IP Address from DHCP server. I have done some configuration settings, and this workstation can load the kernel (vmlinuz-2-4-18-ltsp-1), but after loading the kernel, there only flashing characters and colors on the screen. I also have do chmod

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, I am thinking of settting up a thin client server setup. I would like to set it up to work with linux and windows. I was going to use Symbiont but it says it needs a different version of linux to install. Has anyone used it with Centos before? Would it be easier to just install LTSP and set it up. I would like to b have a small box that does the dhcp and then allows users to logon to

I've recently moved from pxegrub to pxelinux (well, syslinux...) for many benefits. (memory fingerprint, etc) Its running perfectly, and exactly how I like it, except. LOCALBOOT 0 DOES NOT actually mount and boot the hard drive. All it seems to be doing is actually return error to the BIOS, which then boots the next device in it's list. This isnt a problem on most systems, but on

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

Hello i'm working on a netboot environement with a highly configurable menu system. for some parts i like to use pxelinux for others pxegrub. I can load both seperatly. Now what i want is to have the possibility to switch from une to another. I tried: to load pxelinux from pxegrub: menu.lst: title pxelinux root (nd) kernel (nd)/pxelinux.0 title pxelinux2 root (nd) kernel

In our testing, pxelinux and Dos UNDI is much more stable than pxegrub with ten different nic drivers compiled in. The only thing holding us back on using pxelinux for all of our tftp images is the lack of a menu system. We are very close to buying a proprietary software but, I would much rather use an open source type solution. It should be possible to write some comboot code

Having installed the following packages the problem was solved: kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kvm-83-164.el5 kmod-kvm-83-164.el5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos Cheers, Vladimir 2010/7/19 Momonth <momonth at gmail.com>: > Hi All, > > I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / > testing purposes.

Hi I am an engineer who is making communication systems. I have a board(made by Kontron ltd, Intel CPU, currently with diskless ) that is used in compactPCI. I boot that board with network PXELINUX method and currently using NFS. But I don't want to use NFS and I want to make and use ram disk image. That means I want to use a ram disk as /. Currently I made a initrd by ltsp_initrd_kit. What

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hi Aaron, i know it is not an interactive menu - but in my 'config' file i call for a textfile to be displayed : DISPLAY menu.txt that contains all my labels. See the first part of my 'config' : label 0 LOCALBOOT 0 label 1 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND initrd=images/w2k/unatt.ima label 2 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND

sorry - i must have overlooked the part where you mentioned that.. my fault. What software are you looking at ? Altiris maybe ? I am, ofcourse interested in the option you are looking for. Please keep this list updated.

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

Yes and PXE booting the node worked just fine. It was quite some time ago and the process was rather straightforward. This is for x86_64 use-host-decl-names on; filename "/solaris/pxegrub"; next-server <TFTP SERVER IP>; vendor-option-space SUNW; option SUNW.JumpStart-server "<INSTALLATION SERVER IP>:/exports/Solaris/JUMPSTART/x86"; # BE WARNED: No hostnames.
