similar to: ethersel.c32 issues

Hello! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

From : Erwan Velu <erwan.velu at free.fr> This patch - remove the pci detection code from ethersel - add a find_pci_device() function in the PCI com32 module - make ethersel using the pci com32 module instead of builtin pci detection code Testing and feedback are welcome.

My apologies if this is no longer an issue or has been resolved in some other manner. It was quicker for me to simply do some quick hacking than to research more fully. Regarding this message from Feb 2005: >>> Did you make progress with ethersel.c32? >>> Is there anything I can do to help? >>> >> >> I've been out of town. If you could sprinkle some

Hi all! ...As I'm the author of http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=190646 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408 (for Steven: these two links are for the SAME file...) ...I'd like to say some comments, to let you understand what the peculiarities of my approch are... My approach is more minimalistic: etherboot have already the capabilities to

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations. There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting. Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

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

I released a new prerelease for SYSLINUX which supports PCI BIOS access for ethersel.c32. If you've had trouble with ethersel.c32, I would appreciate it if you'd test it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Thanks, -hpa

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)

Changes in 3.10: * gcc 4.0.1 compilation fixes. * Add support for querying the PCI BIOS in libcom32 (used by ethersel et al.) * Fix PCI handing (ethersel etc) on several old chipsets (and VMWare.) * Try to deal with systems with broken EBIOS. * New API call to do "localboot". * New API call to query features.

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

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.:

This version cleans up the Ethersel (PCI config probing) changes I have been iterating with Alex Heinz. It's not the same code (so please test, especially Alex), but it should work the same. As before, if you have a machine for which 2.13 worked and 3.0x hasn't worked, please test this version too. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I've been submitting a patch t o add a com32 module able to parse the DMI table. I'm starting now the next step : having a way to boot some different menu regarding the dmi structures. I've been looking for some ideas with the ethersel syntax : DEV [DID xxxx:yyyy[/mask]] [RID zz-zz] [SID uuuu:vvvv[/mask]] commandline In other hand, a nice implementation must allow to do : "if

Yes, MENU HIDE would work as well, but still requires additional entries for each case (possible entries for pxe, syslinux, isolinux, cpu architectures, PCI devices, lua scripting scenarios, etc.) By blocking modules, I meant that as long as I disable user editing of menu commands via ALLOWOPTIONS 0, I cannot use any of the following com32 modules without creating duplicate LABEL entries for each

Hello, I poked a little bit to extract the list of modules dependencies in Syslinux v6 (see below). I have attached a bash script that generate a nice table from the tarball. The output can either be an ASCII table, or wiki markup, typically for the page Library_modules[1]. I am not in the wiki Editor group, so I can't put that in the wiki. anyway, here's an updated dependency tree for

Changes in 3.11: * MEMDISK: Fix bug by which accessing the real floppy disk as B: in MS-DOS was broken. * Simple menu system: allow tweaking of the screen layout. * Simple menu system: better command-line editing, correctly handle command lines above 256 characters. * PXELINUX: revert memory allocation change that caused problems
