similar to: Memdisk ramdisk hangs using menu.c32, but ok from cmdline.

Hello again... I'd like to confirm that I really understand what the LABEL property in the PXELINUX config file is doing: Assume that at the "boot:" prompt, I want to issue the command "memdisk initrd=floppy1", and I want to attach this command to label "A". If I were to put this in the config file: LABEL A KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=floppy1 Then if

Good day, If I set allowoptions to 0 to hide editing menu entries and then select to run lua.c32 from menu , run_command() from inside the script it seems to invoke kernel/com32 modules without any parameter. For example pxechn.c32 will never be happy no matter what the command line is. But if you set allowoptions to 1 everything starts to work as expected, except the menu itself.

I have an e4000 and I want to shar just one directory that I use for storage purposes. I have set up the share and smb.vonf using swat. I have set it to guest only and when i try to cvonnect frmo my win98 laptop it asks for a password!?!? What am I doing wrong here, can someone point me in the right direction ? Thanks, Brandon

I get the following errors on the console of my newly installed 2.0.4b server on a Sun E4000: nmbd/nmbd_packets.c: (1412) find_subnet_for_nmb_packet: response record not found for response id <num>. nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c: (240) find_response_record: response packet id <num> received with no matching record I don't know the internals well enough to decipher these, can

Hello, At the boot prompt ALLOWOPTIONS 0 is only applied to implicit kernels and not to labels. For configuration which want to allow selection, but prevent customization of the kernel command line, this behaviour is bad. Also the IMPLICIT 0 is applied to both the boot prompt and configuration setting (like DEFAULT); but one could argue that only the command supplied at the prompt make sense to

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre11. This version hopefully should fix Curtis' bug (display file garbage) as well as the NOESCAPE problem. Curtis, Alex and Paul, could you try this version out, please? -hpa

I have some questions about "ALLOWOPTIONS 0". [quote] ALLOWOPTIONS flag_val If flag_val is 0, the user is not allowed to specify any arguments on the kernel command line. The only options recognized are those specified in an APPEND) statement. The default is 1.

Hi, How do I view the libvirt virsh domxml-to-native function implementation? I think this function contains some error. Because we use libvirt to manage some host and vms on vmware hypervisor. We use openenbula generate a template for libvirt ,such as my attachment windows2008.xml. but when i use domxml-to-native to convert xml file to vmware config file vmx as below. This may not be

Hi, I have tried several different line options, but I cannot seem to get the pxe master password option to work? I have basically tried all combinations of: DEFAULT local PROMPT 0 ALLOWOPTIONS 1 TIMEOUT 500 MENU TITLE sometitle MENU MASTER PASSWD somepassword But just can't seem to get the menu to prompt for a password. version I have is pxe 3.31 Thanks for any help

I did confirm earlier that this does work, and combined with a MENU HIDDEN to hide it from the visible menu it is a possible solution. I originally assumed that this was due to that going down a different code path and did not mention it, apologies. The scale of my menu makes doubling/tripling menu entries less ideal, though. Do we consider it intended functionality that modules such as whichsys

Yes, MENU HIDE would work as well, but still requires additional entries for each case (possible entries for pxe, syslinux, isolinux, cpu architectures, PCI devices, lua scripting scenarios, etc.) By blocking modules, I meant that as long as I disable user editing of menu commands via ALLOWOPTIONS 0, I cannot use any of the following com32 modules without creating duplicate LABEL entries for each

Hi - daft one for Friday morning coffee break: I have been trying to mount floppies on a couple of CentOS5 servers - the usual "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" (yes, /mnt/floppy exists!). On both servers, the mount command just doesn't come back and I have to hit CTRL-C. I have tried different media and also changed the floppy drive on one server, /dev/fd0 is seen as present on both

Apologies if this has been gone over, but I believe I have checked the intertubes more than a bit..... I am using libvirt and have vms booting under an OVMF.fd to use an efi firmware. I can create vms, linux ubuntu, and they will boot up. However, everytime I reboot am I dropped into the default efi shell provide by the tianocore build. Then I must walk the FS to the booting efi app and run, in

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where if I use vesamenu.c32 with PXELINUX 6.03 when network booting a virtual machine hosted on VMware ESXi 6.0, it hangs (the version message is printed and then nothing - the VM has to be powered off and back on again). This happens no matter if I choose the E1000 network interface or the VMXNET3 network interface when creating the VM. The same problem
