I'm building pxe-booted kiosk systems using pxelinux 3.09 and linux kernel 2.6.14. I noticed a discussion on this list that 3.09 supports a 511 character command line but that the kernel would need to be patched to access it beyond 255. How can I patch the kernel to do so?

PXELINUX has stopped recognizing the keeppxe option on the kernel command line. Here is a patch to make it work again. With COM32, it is no longer possible to use preprocessor directives to determine the SYSLINUX variant. The code inside the #if will never be compiled. So, I changed it to use syslinux_filesystem() to determine the variant. Also, I moved the relevant code from

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items. Is there a limit to how many items can be on the simple menu? default pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE UWSP PXE Boot Menu # TIMEOUT 200 LABEL bartpe MENU LABEL Build 12 KERNEL /STARTROM.0 APPEND keeppxe LABEL 11dnet MENU LABEL Build 11DNET beta

Summary ======= I have a recommendation for a minor documentation change regarding 'keeppxe'. I lost some time on this and think that a clarification could save other people time in the future. pxelinux.doc should be tweaked to explicitly say that the "keeppxe" option should be given on the kernel command line through the APPEND statemen Detail ====== pxelinux.doc line 356

My ?default? was just a sample to prevent further tl;dr :) Right, by 2014 I meant 6.03. I didn?t notice in the docs this was a known issue. If keeppxe is a bug with 6.03, that?s likely my issue. Do I drop back to 6.02 or X? Which version? Thanks, David Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2018, at 6:53 PM, Ady Ady via Syslinux <syslinux at zytor.com> wrote: > > >> Hardware

Thanks Ady. I have to stick with stable vs. experimental but I appreciate the Debian suggestion. I don't mean to troll anyone, but... how is 6.03 considered stable if it does not correctly support keeppxe? I have to go all the way back to 4.xx for this to be supported? Wow. I still couldn't find it in the docs online where it states keeppxe doesn't work. I have some "detail

Good day, I have the problem to pass the ?loaded? undi driver to the next bootloader. In current pxelinux ?lernel memdisk keeppxe harddisk raw initrd::parh_to_img? always unloads undi before memdisk (or other kernel) takes control. After many tries I found that the keeppxe feature is broken starting from version 6.03 pre 9. I tried to find the reason by comparing sources 6.03 pre 8 / 6.03

I have a really long functions, and at the end of the function, I am using a if statement to tag certain keywords based on whether they have certain values contained in them. However, the if statement doesn't seem to work. When I had split up the commands into various functions, it worked fine, but I'm not sure what going on now that it's combined into a single function. myfunc

Hi, I've got a question regarding pxelinux: It seems that there is a buck in syslinux 3.86 (or still is in the current build) in the reset_pxe function. If I call "syslinux_local_boot(0)" (in a COM32 binary) the KeepPXE variable is always 1 which resets the PXE stack instead of unloading it: local_boot: push cs pop ds mov [LocalBootType],ax call vgaclearmode mov

Hello syslinux mailing list users, I've initially filed a bug about my problem [1], but people from irc channel suggested to ask for help here. I have a PXE server based on syslinux 4.05 that distributes ReactOS to client machines over network. It has a pretty simple pxelinux.cfg/default, with the following contents (that were suggested by ReactOS wiki [2]): DEFAULT chain.c32 APPEND

Hello, Has anyone thought about how one could use the "keeppxe" option with a vmlinuz/initrd? It would allow one to boot this combination, and if possible the linux kernel/initrd (assuming we have busybox in there) would not have to run udhcp and instead leverage what pxe stack information is loaded. The problem is I don't know of any PXE/UNDI linux utilities to look at the pxe

Hardware with issue is a Lenovo T410 (circa 2007?): SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2009 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is working for Ghostcast/peer to peer. SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2014 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is NOT working for Ghostcast/peer to

I'm using PxeLinux to bot DOS images for an automated test application. After Running the DOS application program, I want to use the UNDI stack to send a completion status message to the server. I boot the DOS image with keeppxe, so that the UNDI stack will continue to be in memory. I am not clear as to what state the stack is left in after PxeLinux has loaded and transferred control to the

First let me say I'm really excited about the possibility of dynamic menu creation over http using php. When this is stable it will make maintinging some of our pxelinux infrastructure much easier. Id like to thank all involved; I'm really looking forward to the gpxe intigration. After hpa's announment for 3.70pre7 I begain testing. I dropped the new gpxelinux.0 and new c32 modules

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

Hi, I'm facing some problems with pxelinux. I have ingetrated it into WDS server. I want to use Network boot all way possible. I want to add Hiren boot disk and NT password editor tools. Is this possible? Currently my network boot includes WDS, Linux install, Win98 Startup disk and ghost 11.5 wPS-DOS. My conf file as follows(*) Also in hyperv virtual machines(x64) pxelinux.com displays
