Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hi, I am currently trying to replace our companies elilo UEFI PXE boot with syslinux. I compiled all the needed files and the DHCP distributes them fine to the requesting client. However when I try to boot our companies miniroot the DHCP serves the file, but it seems like it never finishes. The image is generated with the following command: find . | grep -v 'name'.bz2 | cpio -o -H newc

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

Hello, I am trying to boot x86 solaris 10 8/07 via a system running fed7 and syslinux 3.62. If I use pxelinux I get the kernel to boot but it doesn't load my network drivers for the Broadcom II nic. I rebuilt the kernel (x86.miniroot) for solaris with the Broadcom nic drivers but it still didn't work. I read some stuff where people were using pxegrub and booting pxegrub.0 but

Hi, I am trying to use syslinux and etherboot together to network boot my clients. I am able to load my 2.4 Kernel without problems. However, when I try to load a 2.6 Kernel, I get this error: Could not find ramdisk image: miniroot.gz My initrd, named miniroot, does exist and I really don't know why syslinux is not able to find it. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks.

Let me thank everyone in advance. I''ve read a number of posts here and it helped tremendously in getting the install done. I have a couple of remaining issues which I can''t seem to overcome. Here are the basics: dom0 - CentOS 5.2 32-bit Xen 3.2.1 compiles from source domU - os200805.iso The install config: [root@internetpowagroup oshman]# cat opensolaris.install name =

I am trying to use Syslinux as my boot loader for a stripped down version of Knoppix (DSL) on a USB Pen Drive. I followed the instructions verbatim on http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/knoppix-usb.html, but no luck. The system will start to boot to the USB, but gives a Kernel Panic. I will give all information that shows on the screen. After I select Boot from USB (which on my

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs . I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel argument appended with BOOTIF : here is what i use : LABEL solaris MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND multiboot kernel/unix

I dont know if this will be of any interest to you guys. I have a lexar 1GB flash drive. I used the mkdiskimage script and then did syslinux as described in the readme.usbkey. (the script took a REALLY long time too) I booted into 3.7 knoppix. Copied all the directories onto the key. Then copied the contents of the /boot dir into the root dir. I renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg I had

Working to get ZFS to run on a minimal Solaris 10 U2 configuration. In this scenario, ZFS is included the miniroot which is booted into RAM. When trying to share one of the filesystems, an assertion is raised - see below. If the version of source on OpenSolaris.org matches Solaris 10 U2, then it looks like it''s associated with a popen of /usr/sbin/share. Can anyone shed any

Upstream etherboot accepted a patch (attached) to fix wrapping of the TFTP block index. Without the patch we are unable to boot recent Solaris over the network in HVM guests (because our miniroot now exceeds 64k blocks). Whilst unstable has moved on to gpxe (which doesn''t suffer from this problem), it would be useful to us for this to be fixed in the stable series. Any preferences on
