similar to: PXELinux and serial number

Hi All, I am going to be presenting a 45 minute session at Linux World in April on how to use PXELinux to provision linux systems, among other things. This probably isn't of value to most on the list, as it is geared towards giving new users a jumpstart on what's needed so that they can get up and going quickly along with some practical suggestions and tips. I'll be

We have some x86_64 systems that have DisplayPort and USB ports for a monitor & keyboard and when I use these to PXE boot, everything works fine. However, these systems will eventually become headless and in the production process access to the console will be via serial port. Using the serial port mostly works in that once we get to the PXE boot: prompt we can type in the name of the

Hello from Vienna, Austria! I'm happily using pxelinux since years. However, I encountered problems on several machines, because they don't boot up properly with PXE. The problem is, that there are recently some devices connected to the serial ports of those machines. pxeboot echoes and listens to the serial console and the output of the menu results in (silly) input back from the

Hi all Is there any way to extract information (like what dmidecode provides) from within PXELINUX and, based on this information, selectively perform an action? What I'm trying to do is provide a method of flashing the BIOS of our HP Linux workstations but different workstations use different methods of updating the BIOSes. For example, the xw9300 uses 'rompaq' where the xw8400

Hello, On a computer with a real serial port do I mis some output. It is 'real serial port' as opposed to virtual hardware. The text that I mis is 'My IP address seems to be' and the decreasing hexadecimal IP-adress staircase. The banner and the copyright message are displayed. pxelinux.cfg/default is fetched and its "SAY command" is shown. Have a look at this

Is IPv6 supported by PXELINUX? With the transition to IPv6 occurring already, I'm seeing requests for supporting an IPv6-Based PXEboot and need to know if it's supported or is planned for support.

Hi, We have some 100 Servers (includes both Intel and PPC based systems). Is there any way to easly install OS (different flavours of Linux) on these systems ? We do not have control over the DHCP Server settings so is there any way to do this with out touching the DHCP Server ? We have static IPs for all the systems. Regards, Naveen

Hi, Is there anything that controls the speed with which pxelinux.0 (4.03) enumerates the files in .../pxelinux.cfg before it reaches the .../pxelinux.cfg/default file ? pxelinux.cfg/01-00-50-56-ba-48-0e pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D9 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B pxelinux.cfg/AC12 pxelinux.cfg/AC1 pxelinux.cfg/AC

Hello all, I'm having difficulty getting pxelinux to chain load Microsoft's startrom.com. startrom.com starts up, but upon pressing F12 i get an immediate "TFTP Download failed". Any thoughts?

Hello, I am using a menu with the help of menu.c32 which looks like this on a serial console (HP ILO Virtual Serial Port): +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Main | ---------------------------------------------------------- | |

I'd like to add a user-friendly menuing system to pxelinux replacing/enhancing the default on the pxelinux.cfg/default Where can I find instructions on how to get started? Regards, Conrad Lawes Sr. Technical Analyst Argon Technology

Hello, We are trying to use 'PXELINUX' for network boot with root file system on ramdisk, the kernel image vmlinuz and compressed root file system rootfs.img.gz are both present in /tftpboot directory PXELINUX client (pxelinux.0) requests and gets the config file AC134D6D from the TFTP server (which supports tsize option) contents are as follows timeout 10 prompt 1 label linux-new

What is the difference between PXELINUX and bpbatch ? AFAICT, bpbatch doe not require a TFTP server which supports the 'tsize' option. So in the absence of such a server, I may need to explore bpbatch... It seems that bpbatch can be used to remotely boot DOS. Can PXELINUX also do this? -- John

Hi, I am trying to boot the PXEclient via pxeserver and I am getting an error "file not found", following are me setup in the /tftpboot: /tftpboot: initrd.img linuz pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg default (lower case) in the default file: # This is the default pxelinux config file.

Hello, I'm extremely new to Linux and am working on creating a PXE server/menu with PXELINUX and Microsoft DHCP/TFTP. I've gotten it to work great with the exception of one box: the IBM SurePOS 532. If I specify a boot image in my DEFAULT file, it works fine. However when I try to use MENU.C32, it gets stuck at "Trying to Load: pxelinux.cfg/default." Based on TFTP logs, it

Hello... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

Hello, Not sure if and how this works... question is: I would like to have a dual-boot scenario where pxelinux boots a linux based thinclient per default and the possibility to optional boot a ms-dos pxe image. The faq says it's possible to boot dos from pxelinux but there is no clear how-to (it least I cold not find it). Any help is appreciated. kind regards, Dirk

Dear All, First posting here... I am trying to integrate a PXELinux boot into my native-mode WDS server. I have found that making WDS boot the PXELinux is easy (see below), it is making PXELinux give control back to WDS that I have not cracked yet. -In your WDS server, copy the contents of your tftpboot folder to the Boot\x86 folder in your RemoteInstall one. -Open the Windows Deployment
