Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

i am using tftp-hpa 0.32 to transfer boot image files of an aix 5.2 system. packets begin to go across the network and then they stop at about 4200 packets. when i boot from aix bootp server 15227 packets are transfered. i have tried with both xinetd and standalone modes with many different options. i am not sure why it is failing to transfer the entire image. are there certain options with

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to

I am trying to come up with a 'clever' way to pxe-boot boxes that don't have any way to pxe boot. as in, old laptops that only have pc-mica nics. "Etherboot does not (yet) offer support for PCMCIA cards." http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support I am not trying to do 'that' - just trying to come up with a process to work around it. Something like this:

I have tried to get this working SO many times, everywhere I look on the web tells me i have this correct. I have the following stanza in my /tftboot/lts/pxelinux.cfg/default label Ghost kernel memdisk append initrd=netboot.img For some reason, it doesn't work - I get the error messages Missing parameter in config file Could not find kernel image: linux boot: The netboot.img is in the

Hi all, I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked. I am not setting up tftp on centos 5. I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file. /var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no errors. My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided. It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is turned off. I iptables turned

Hi Peter, i am a netboot user of Linux platform. right now, i got a problem. after establishment a new pxe server, the clients boot from the network. and i just do some experiment of reboot on the clients. but i am surprise of the clients booting failure after several cycles. and i got the info of the clients can not download the config file, such as: Trying to load:

Hello everyone, I am using pxelinux to boot kernel from network, which goes ok.

I was wondering, where is the format and options of files like /usr/share/system-config-netboot/pxelinux.cfg/default from system-config-netboot-cmd described? There are plenty of PXE tutorials with examples out there, but nothing that looks like actual documentation.

Hi, I'm hope I'm right here.

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

I'm using syslinux 4.04 with dynamically generated menus configuration based on info found in various web pages. I'm doing my testing using a vCetner 4.10 Vmware virtual machine. This works some of the time, but not always. I just copied the prebuilt modules from the syslinux 4.04 distribution for gpxelinx.0, menu.c32, reboot.c32, and pxelinux.0 When I boot a machine dhcpd says to boot
