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

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

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

very intrigued by your solution Timo, have attempted something similar in the past to no avail. When I tried I was unable to retain the user at domain when setting the domain as extra field - protected is new to me and can't find documentation - but also doesn't work :( # cat passwd.domains 10.100.1.1:::::::domain:protected=foo.org 10.100.1.2:::::::domain:protected=bar.org # cat

Hello For testing purposes, i would like to make a connection between 2 network interfaces on the same machine. For example, i have eth0 (10.0.0.100) and eth1 (10.0.0.101) and would like to have the traffic going on the "wire", not just taking the "shortcut" inside the protocol stack. I have played around a little bit with the routing table, but did not succeed. Does

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 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

Hey, I have slow access when I first open shares. If I reboot my XP box and then go to access a share, it takes a good 10 seconds for files to come up, even after I've typed in my username and password. Once accessed it runs fine and is fast. But, if I don't access it for 30 minutes, when I access it again it sits for like 10 good seconds before it does anything. This is very annoying.

CentOS-Virt, I ran into an error attempting to offer two boot options using libvirt with kvm. I wanted the virtual to first attempt to boot from its "disk" and if that didn't work, fall back on netboot (we kickstart install). This argument is "-boot cn". If the disk you provide is of type IDE this will probably work for you, unless you use "-drive" with the

Upstream etherboot accepted a patch (attached) to fix wrapping of the TFTP block index. Without the patch we are unable to boot recent Solaris over the network in HVM guests (because our miniroot now exceeds 64k blocks). Whilst unstable has moved on to gpxe (which doesn''t suffer from this problem), it would be useful to us for this to be fixed in the stable series. Any preferences on

Folks: I've used etherboot to create a zrom that successfully brings a image of a bootable floppy into high memory. What I'd like to do is glue memdisk in so that it can hook int13 and serve the transferred image for booting when etherboot hands control back to the BIOS. The trick, and this is where I'd appreciate "gotchas", pointers or "this is an approach I

Hi, I am trying to use syslinux and etherboot together to network boot my clients. I am able to load my 2.4 Kernel without problems. However, when I try to load a 2.6 Kernel, I get this error: Could not find ramdisk image: miniroot.gz My initrd, named miniroot, does exist and I really don't know why syslinux is not able to find it. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks.

Hi there, I do not know if it has to do with my english knowledge, but I tried several times to understand the difference beetween Etherboot and PXE-Linux. I know that Etherboot can be put on a Nic's ROM, but for what on h*ll then is the Etherboot floppy for? Please, could someone explain me stupid person these things? Thanks a lot. Greets, Thorsten

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 sent this mail again because my previous mail was rejected by ML for some reason] This topic is originally from etherboot ML. When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). pxelinux returns to PXE with localboot return code but etherboot doesn't check it. I was trying to change

Hi, (this is a topic from etherboot ML). When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). I was trying to change etherboot side but it was not easy to me. So I simply replaced pxelinux local_boot: with isolinux's one with little modification. It may be better that pxelinux.cfg also allows to
