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

Question for people... Has anyone actually tried running PXELINUX on top of Etherboot? There is something in Etherboot 5.1.7 called FREEBSD_PXEEMU, which seems to be a PXE stack subset, in particular it seems to support the following calls: PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO PXENV_UDP_OPEN PXENV_UDP_WRITE PXENV_UDP_READ PXENV_UDP_CLOSE PXENV_UNLOAD_STACK PXENV_UNDI_SHUTDOWN This happens to be pretty

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9.

I'm using pxelinux to boot vmware instances, running VMware-gsx-3.1.0-9089. When I enable the boot: prompt, the prompt is displayed but then keyboard input is not echoed promptly. By that, I mean that if you hit a few keys they wont be echoed until several minutes later. I think the problem relates to the check_for_arp function; if I comment the line in that that calls pxenv, then the

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Since we can't use __intcall() for EFI, and since we can now have the ELF module code resolve all our symbols at runtime, we should delete as many references to __intcall() as possible and just access the symbols directly. The most interesting patch is the support for weak symbols. We need to be able to reference derivative-specific

Hi, For some time now I have been using pxelinux to add a helpful 'administrator' boot mode to our workstations with the following 'pxelinux.cfg/default' config: ---- DEFAULT local PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 0 TOTALTIMEOUT 1 ONTIMEOUT menu ALLOWOPTIONS 0 NOESCAPE 0 LABEL local LOCALBOOT 0 LABEL menu CONFIG /pxelinux.cfg/default-menu ---- This is great as by

Hi everyone. I've read through the archives and found a few posts about using the PXE stack, but none of these really helped me. What i want to do is: Prompt the user for 2 values, desired hostname and a "pin" (just a number) and send this information over UDP to my server The problem is not the user input but the UDP part. I've tried to change the code from the post of jesse

Hi Peter, The main part of this pull request includes commits that try to replace as many __intcall() invocations as possible. Some remain, but not many (and eventually they'll be gone too). There's also a patch to make better use of ld's --as-needed option and various other bug fixes/cleanups. The following changes since commit ff7334a2ce536b7f4b1f6d6f93ff4e285a3bd45a: Only

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

Hi, I've checked the archives for my issue, and while there is relevant discussion, the problem the original poster was asking about didn't seem to have been resolved then either (~2 years ago). At any rate, basically what I'm trying to do is send (possibly receive) UDP packets via the PXE stack using the com32 API (using version 3.11 of syslinux). I have followed both the comboot

I am sending a patch that makes the debugging output of PXELINUX slightly more concise, without (intentionally) affecting its completeness at all. Additionally, I am proposing that the debugging output of PXELINUX -- specifically the messages that appear after the copyright statement, but before the menu is loaded -- only be shown in response to keyboard input (such as holding Shift or Alt, or

Greetings all, Sorry, resending this with the attachment inline. First of all, a disclaimer: Please forgive my horrible assembly code. This is just a quick munging of code to achieve x86 versus x86_64 detection within pxelinux. So please look at it as a proof of concept and not a real piece of code. :) For example it only works on pxelinux and has no thought for extending it beyond simple x86

So here it is. Ugly and far from acceptable shape but nonetheless it seems to work. Parts are borrowed from syslinux core and of course the gfxboot patch for syslinux 3.63.
