similar to: can pxe localboot report failure to bios

Hi, I have boon Googling quite a bit on this, but is it possible: I want to build an ISOLINUX boot CD, but want one of the option to be "Continue booting from hard drive" and thus disregard booting from the kernel on the CD. Is it possible? Or what can I do to force a HD boot from ISOLINUX.CFG? Thanks Herman Starship Systems

I have seen posts about this problem, but have had trouble finding how/if it was resolved. I am trying to upgrade from syslinux-3.11 to syslinux-3.86 on RHEL5. On 3.86, when it performs a local boot from hard disk, it just keeps looping back into PXE boot again instead of booting from the hard disk. It will perform a system install just fine, but when it switches to localboot after the install,

Hello, Starting version PXELINUX 3.83 2009-10-05, i am not able to boot anymore using "localboot 0" entry. It show "" Booting from local disk...

Hello, We're using the PXELINUX to boot remote kickstart and Linux rescue images. Recently we got some new hardware (Compaq DL360) which required me to upgrade from PXELINNUX 1.75 to 2.02. Everything works fine on the new hardware, but the "localboot 0" option now just hangs on some of our older boxes. Specifically, our "Tyan Thunder 2510" motherboards with integrated

Hello, A couple of months back there was this message on the list. http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-October/015459.html I have exactly the same result on just a few types of machines. Acer Tavelmate 8372 and 5742 InsydeH2O Bios v1.05 Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 V 14.0.8 It started after I upgrades pxelinux.0 to version 3.86 Versions tested and got the recursing: 3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.83 On

Is there a solution to pxelinux v2.00 hanging with 'localboot 0' ? I haven't had a good time with v1.76 due to the UNDI corruption bug. I just subscribed and I've searched the archives up to 12/5.

git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git Branch doc-syslinux-for-hpa Expand upon the explanation of the usage of CONFIG (including a new directory). Edit LOCALBOOT to include the fact that all variants understand LOCALBOOT type -1. Compact the PXELINUX section to one paragraph. -- -Gene

Hi all, My server is IBM x3850 X5 and use Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v5.2.4 stack. When I choose localboot to boot from the harddisk, the system willnot boot up then still trying to boot from PXE. Several times later the PXE boot procedure is crashed with words as I attached. Does anyone have any good idea? Thanks very much.

Yes, you are missing these options in the DHCP server: 66 'Boot Server Host Name' (the tftp server IP) 67 'Bootfile Name' (pxelinux.0) -----Original Message----- From: Pierre VIALLET [mailto:pvt at auvitran.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 10:18 AM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: [syslinux] PXE boot from Windows XP Hi, I want to boot a VIA EPIA Motherboard from a

pxelinux, when given a localboot=... option, will try to boot next bios device itself. The problem is it takes next BIOS device by BIOS order of enumeration. That has no connection with the boot order defined in BIOS. Since a user cannot control BIOS enumeration but can control the boot order, there is no way one can force a desired next device for local boot with pxelinux. In general, you

Hello all, I'm booting a USB stick (DOS formatted, one 1GB partition) and I'd like to offer the choice of either continue booting from the USB stick, or booting from the installed hard disk (Linux ext3). I've asked this question here previously and Quinn replied saying I should use the 'localboot -1' option which would pass boot to the next device. And so I did. The BIOS

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

Hi, all I can't boot from local drive on some machines(thinkpad x200 and thinkpad x1 carbon) using syslinux 3.05 or syslinux 4.05. And i change localboot 0xffff to localboot 0x80, boot from local drive is available. I find "0x80 is the primary hard drive. The special value -1(0xffff) causes ISOLINUX to report failure to the BIOS, which, on recent BIOSes, should mean that the next

I just tried to boot extlinux off of /dev/sdb and use the option localboot 0x80. I was hoping to see syslinux for the second time as the system loaded the master boot rec from /dev/sda. Why is this option only in pxelinux and isolinux? Nicholas A. Schembri State College PA USA

Hi! A friend of mine has tried a PXE floppy (build from the new etherboot 5.3.12) to load PXELINUX.0; a menu voice of the pxelinux.cfg use the LOCALBOOT statement. Selecting this statement, the PC retry to boot from the floppy... is this normal? The user expected that LOCALBOOT would have tried the NEXT boot device (ie CDROM or HD), not the FIRST boot device (the floppy)... (note: this has

Hi Aaron, i know it is not an interactive menu - but in my 'config' file i call for a textfile to be displayed : DISPLAY menu.txt that contains all my labels.

Good day, i would like to be able to keep pxe loaded after localboot -1 . Localboot -1 should try to boot 'next device' from the order configured by bios. Of course 'next device' can be an additional nic. In this case booting from second nic fails because !PXE is not found. Please give me a hint where to patch sources to keep pxe loaded. It is possible anyway? Thanks very much .

Hello syslinux mailing list, I've been working on a kind of system administration tool ( http://twyna.sourceforge.net/) with a colleague of mine for our Computer Science Bachelor degree internship. I hope I'm saying that right :) We use gPXELinux to boot over a web service and it's all working marvellously, except for the localboot bug. Until now we've used chain.c32 to solve
