Hi LocalBoot have unpredictable behaviour. I have tried 0, 0x80 and -1 on different machines. Some work good, some hang, some reset and some repoen the menu. I also uses chain.c32 but it had the same problem. I checked 3COM MBA menu mba.pxe and it works good on all machines. Is there any workaround? Behrad

Hi, I'm trying to boot a clean machine(hostname=dgrid-5.srce.hr) with 3com 3c905b NIC (ver4.30 MBA) with pxe.

Hello, I've been having a problem trying to boot from first hard drive via pxelinux 5.01 on a HP Proliant server having a SmartArray P220i RAID controller. On other hardware and VMs that i've tried it works. My config file looks like this: label localboot kernel chain.c32 append hd0 Is this a known issue or has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Andrei

Hello All, I seem to be having a problem with PXE under the 3com MBA once the pxe loads the standard redhat 7.2 lilo prompt and I type my label which is a4-72 and hit enter, I get: Loading vmlinuz... and it stops most of the time. Sometimes it loads and once it gets to the part of installing linux the screen turns red and I get "interrupt handler not syncing" Thanks -- Otis DeWitt -

HI there. Probably my message is a bit off topic but I do not know where else I could be asking. . I'm running a linux terminal server with one client provided with a 3C509B ISA card. I boot the later with a floppy bootable rom image taken from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ Everything is working just fine. I decided to try to set up a PXE network boot (I'll needed it for installing a

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

Hi! We (an astronomical center) are building a small cluster for our number-crunching. The problem is that we have 12 mobos A7V600 by Asus (for athlons) - 1 server + 11 diskless nodes. And here comes the trouble... hardware: mobo: a7v600 net: 1 gigabit by 3com - 3c940, integrated in mobo the problem is: dhcp - works fine tftp - works fine pxelinux.0 - downloads fine (I hope) linux kernel -

As subject says: With Intel PXE stack version 4.x (stack identifies itself in BIOS as IBA 4.0.x or 4.1.x), pxelinux' localboot option hangs instead of going to BIOS. This does not happen with older PXE stack. I have a feeling that the this broke somewhere in version 2.x - I *believe* 1.75 PXELINUX works fine - but haven't had a chance to try again. -alex

Hello, I have not been able to get the IPAPPEND option to successfully set the ip parameters for a pxelinux install.

Hi, I have successfuly use PXElinux to boot a diskless workstations from two 3COM NICs. I had to do as you suggested and upgrade them both to 3COM's MBA v4.30. After, flashing the bootproms - no problems at all! 3c905B-TX 3c905C-TX just for your info: The B card has a optional bootprom chip that you must purchaced and installed on the NIC The C card come with the bootprom as part of the

If I may, I would like to suggest some possible rewording (perhaps adding some clarity, simplifying and solving some typos, I hope). BTW, any suggestions for an alternative name for this option, instead of "dlabel"? > The exisiting label= option offer to boot on a gpt partition that have > a particular label. > The existing guuid= option offer to boot on a disk or

I was seeing if I could use chain.c32 to boot windows off of a second drive. I'm pretty sure I'm using it right. Could it be because these are sata drives? I installed FC5 on a second sata drive I had in my new machine. Of course Grub didn't work as I wanted so I decided to try extlinux and if I can get it to work I might switch to syslinux so that I can edit the boot info in windows

I'd like to use chain.c32 to allow the computer boot from HARDDISK if needed. If I use isolinux and boot from CD, the following works OK: chain.c32 hd0 But if I boot from USB Flash Key, it sometimes work and sometimes it doesn't and I have to use chain.c32 hd1 (it seems BIOS assigns hd0 to the flash key sometimes, so the real harddisk is hd1 in that case). Is there any way to tell

Hi I am using PXELinux to boot BartPE and some other application and it works fine. There are some other Boot application which I am using 3COM MBAUTIL PXE.mnu and floppy images. I have problem chaining from pxelinux.0 to 3com pxe.0 (pxe.mnu). Consider: BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->pxelinux.0 works fine. BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->3COM pxe.mnu works fine, the menu appears and I can choose a floppy
