Hi All, I've been trying to understand how to use pxechn.c32 to chain a local pxelinux menu item to a remote server which has it's own pxelinux hierarchy served via TFTP and HTTP. We have no control over DHCP next-server and filename fields so I wanted to exploit the "prefix" -p option that pxechn.c32 accepts. I spent a long time hitting my head against a brick wall until I

Hi, Is there anything that controls the speed with which pxelinux.0 (4.03) enumerates the files in .../pxelinux.cfg before it reaches the .../pxelinux.cfg/default file ? pxelinux.cfg/01-00-50-56-ba-48-0e pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D9 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2D pxelinux.cfg/AC12B2 pxelinux.cfg/AC12B pxelinux.cfg/AC12 pxelinux.cfg/AC1 pxelinux.cfg/AC

Hi All, A while back there was some mention that gpxe may acquire the ability to receive command-line parameters. I'd dearly love if this could become a reality. It would be fantastic if we could have a pxelinux menu config as follows: KERNEL gpxelinux.0 APPEND config http://someserver.net/gpxe-for-this-box.cfg This would solve a huge number of our problems since we don't have the

Hi Erwan, First off, many thanks for your wonderful addition to syslinux: dmitest.c32 and another thankyou to hpa for it's inclusion. I need to ask if you are missing a couple of definitions in dmi_processor.h, specifically, the "long mode" flag. I need to use this flag to determine whether a machine is 64-bit capable or not. There is a great web page explaining the "long

Hello I wonder, if you know any more about the possibilities of having a standard Network driver for most cards. Is there any such thing for linux? Where do I get it? Is there possibly something for DOS? A UNDI Packetdriver would be cool, because then I could use DosSCP on every Network card I would ever be using with MemDisk (which in turn is very cool.) bye Christian (thinking about writing

Hi, my client pc hangs on pxelinux before starting to fetch the linux kernel. It hangs after printing the ip information row. No traffic is observed at this point on the network. The pxelinux is transferred to the client through a tftp server and with no problems. What options do I have to proceed from this point and try to find out where the problem is? Thanks, Firas. -- Firas Swidan, PhD

On a Gigabit LAN, you should get the full 1000Mbps speed

Trying to run guestfish against a VMDK file with a space in its name: $ guestfish --ro -i "New Virtual Machine-flat.vmdk" open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support New: No such file or directory (Also tried with New\ Virtual\ Machine-flat.vmdk). Once I rename the vmdk file to something without spaces it loads up fine. Bug? If so I

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

Hi I use this setup with PXELINUX. label Ghost1 menu label Ghost v11 (uni net 192.168.150.10) kernel memdisk append keeppxe initrd=img/gh1.zip floppy vga=1 The sw keeppxe I use to prevent destroy the pxe UNDI net driver. The problem is similar when using ISOLINUX with the same UNDI net driver, the driver fail to load!!! The same will happened if I don't use the sw

Hi All, I have used menu.c32 to offer several booting options to our users via pxelinux... the icing on the cake would be if there was some mechanism whereby the pxelinux boot could be restarted, with the usual search for pxelinux.cfg/... files... all without a reboot and going through POST. Does anyone know if this is possible or if a comboot module exists for such a thing ? Cheers, Doug

Hi All, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've managed to get pxelinux to load gpxe and then manually load linux by using the gpxe command line and HTTP for the kernel and initial ram disk. My question is whether it is possible to somehow pass gpxe commands through some mechanism other than the DHCP filename response. Since I don't have control over our DHCP infrastructure, but do

Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

Hi All, It appears the NetApp OnTap tftp server we were using doesn't implement the "OpCode: Error Code (5); Error Code: File not found (1)" response." so we just moved the tftp service to RHEL boxes running HPA tftpd. It's essential for our deployment system to locate the pxelinux config specific to an installation request based on it's MAC address. If the MAC based

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

The coding guidelines say: > Function names should be verb phrases (as they represent actions), and command-like function should be imperative. The name should be camel case, and start with a lower case letter (e.g. openFile() or isFoo()). This means that functions that just compute or access a value (no side-effects) should be named e.g. `getParent()`, rather than `parent()` as they are in

Hi Peter/Erwan et al, With my incredibly limited understanding of all things com32, years ago, I managed to write a com32 module to tell PXE users their MAC address, machine make, model and whether they were on a 32 or 64 bit processor. Users found this very useful when trying to re-image the 8,000 odd boxes spread round the globe. This was hugely based on Erwan Velu's dmitest.c circa 3.20.
