1. \ at end of lines (in pxelinux.cfg/default, etc) causing/allowing line-wrap ? for those of us who prefer 80 column screens, and 1 item per line. 2. label-specific APPEND adds onto global APPEND ( currently replaces it IIUC ) maybe this needs a separate keyword ADDAPPEND (255 char limit still applies im sure) 3. strip trailing # comments ( I havent verified that it

I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

Okay, now, before 3.10 is finalized... what bug reports am I still forgetting? -hpa

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre5 is hereby a bug fix release candidate. If I don't receive any problem reports, I will release it as-is on Tuesday, August 30. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

changing i386 COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 1024 attached is a simplistic fix to change kernel's command-line size from 256 to 1024, tomatch capability in syslinux 3.08. It seems to work. Is this all there is to it ? One of the reasons I did this was to figure out what extra options are appearing, and why. b4 extending: (the last bit is truncated) Jun 4 06:31:05 truck kernel: Kernel command

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

folks, Im finding that using a config like this: SERIAL 0 19200 #IPAPPEND 2 PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 IMPLICIT 0 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/nfs nfsaddrs=10.10.10.100:10.10.10.2:10.10.10.2:255.255.255.0:soekris:eth0 nfsroot=10.10.10.2:/nfshost/truck panic=15 LABEL deb268 KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 initrd=initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 panic=10 LABEL deb268-ram KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386

Greetings all, Is there currently any mechanism in pxelinux the would send a mac address of the pxe booted interface through to the linux kernel much like ipappend can send the ip address? Kickstarting a system with multiple interfaces can be troublesome. ksdevice is helpful but only in some circumstances such as forcing eth0, but that doesn't always work since probe order changes depending

Hi, everybody! My pxelinux.0/default file is: LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.16 APPEND initrd=initrd-2.6.16.img root=192.168.4.110:/clients/192.168.4.100/root When mounting I get: switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted tp kill init! Before it I get some messages about: Can't find /dev/console. /clients/192.168.4.100/root/dev was empty. I've copied my

Hi, I am trying to load kernel 2.6.6 on a Soekris net4521 from the network using PXE. I built my initrd with mkinitrd. RedHat nash (while running linuxrc) hangs after mounting /proc and says "Creating block devices". I am using the pxelinux.0 from the syslinux-2.10 distribution and the kernel and initrd were built on redhat 9.0. I built my kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM, RAMFS, TMPFS,

hey folks, Im using pxelinux to boot a Soekris box (which works fine to a default image) Ive added a bunch of LABEL, KERNEL pairs, but I cant read the display; Im buried in escape codes. Ive captured some of it to a typescript file: it starts out kosher, but goes unreadable rather quickly, 0005520 \r T F T P . 0005540 / \b \r 0005560 *

hpa, etal, pxelinux works great from a push of the reset button. machine boots normally. However, after i issue 'reboot' command, my box fails to find the tftp server during reboot. This looks to be happening before pxelinux has any chance to participate, so it cannot be to blame. Im seeking corroboration here before I go badgering the bios-provider here's the relevant

Hi I dont work much with syslinux and linux. But in my last test with pxelinux I woundert why the timout function is ignored by pxelinux. There is no hint in the documentation or in the web. I've figured out that the timout function doesn't work if the prompt setting is 0. timout 50 prompt 0 doesn't work I've tested it in versio 3.07, 3.06 and an "unknown" old

I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to do this... My pxelinux.cfg/default is getting very long... and I'd like to make it shorter by spliting it up into sections which would load other config files. So basically I want to do something like the grub: "configfile (nd)/other.lst" Is there an easy way? -- Cheers Paul

Hi All, I have a Soekris 4801 running Asterisk and I tried to add a X100P FXO card only to find that the Soekris will not boot with the card installed. The LEDs flash for a second and then nothing, it does not boot. I've tried 2 different X100p cards, both of which work in a regular desktop system, and still have no luck. I tried a different Soekris 4801 with no luck. I've also tried a

Hi, I've got another one... NFS error 101 with NFSROOT has been discussed a lot, and hpa gave an answer to it which appears right. It's ENETUNREACH, and I suspect my diskless box does not set its IP parameters right. PXElinux is set up as follows: label linvdr kernel kernel-linvdr append initrd=initrd-linvdr acpi=off root=/dev/nfs \

Hi group, i'm brand new and i would like to ask about soekris hardware. I read along the web but i have some doubts that i think can be solved here. My question are the following: 1) does the Digium TDM400P fit in the soekris box with a 4801 SBC or a bigger box is needed? Any suggestions about where to pick up another box? 2) does the Digium TDM100P (already discontinued) fits fine in a

I try to use a linux on a soekris : http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm . This is a tiny PC without screen nor keyboard. So i can use only a RS232 console. I can find some information on the use of lilo on this card with success (a modified debian). I have choose to use a mandrake then the mklivecd script to transforme it in .iso file (wich make it read only). I have create my own script to
