Having the same trouble that Mark ( http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-March/000244.html) had over a test platform I have here. Having a redhat 7.3 with dhcp V3.0rc12 and atftp (0.6.2) on a local small hub and a W2k Server with RIS installed. If I stop binlsvc on nt server my network boot run ok to pxelinux, but as soon as binlsvc is started, RIS server always respond over my local

Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,

Hello, I would like to install a Windows 2000 Server and configure it with RIS (remote installation services). The server is in a domain where a Samba 3 server, a machine with SuSE Linux and Samba 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE, plays the PDC role. The PDC works well. When I try to configure RIS in the application wizard (appwiz.cpl) of that Windows 2000 Server machine, it tells me that the setup for RIS

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

I was trying to use my windows RIS server to deploy linux so as to require user authentication. After seaching the internet I found that it was possible but not very well explained after alot of tinkering I eventually got it to work. Here is my documentation so hopefully others can do it in less time than I, feel free to comment and improve.. ************************ On RIS Server Create

gpxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can't work with microsoft RIS (startrom.n12),but pxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can work with microsoft RIS well. keeppxe can't work in 3.74.

Christian "Dr. Disk" Henchelmann just sent me a nice writeup on how to set up PXELINUX and Windoze RIS at the same time. I've posted his writeup on the web: http://syslinux.zytor.com/ris.php I hope this is useful for some people :) -hpa

Hello... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

Hello I'm working on my RIS server; I got a problem when I use pxelinux.0 to load setupldr.exe from windows XP 32bits (both home and corporate) Here is how I configure a working server, then how to modify it to reproduce the bug: ========================= I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule

Does anyone have this card working in hardware RAID mode? I can see the individual ATA drivers when booting. The promise site has drivers for Redhat 7.3,8 and 9, but nothing for higher. I see the source code, and can build the module, but I need it loaded at boot time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Sean

Doing a lot of RTFM lately about PXE. I have done xCAT builds but want to take the voodo out of the process so I can control and understand the whole system. I am new to PXE technology and so consider me ignorant. The current server is a MS RIS server and I am attempting to migrate our facility to use Linux / PXE instead. First stage: take existing DOS bootnet floppy and convert to boot from

Dear all, I try to rearrange my ref. database (now in Excel!! :( ) for importing it into a reference manager program (RIS format). My file basically look like this [3,4]-matrix: rbind(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), c("e", "f", "g", "h"), c("i", "j", "k", "l")) [,1] [,2] [,3]

I want to chain multiple servers with pxelinux initiated from a ris server. (Correct me if i'm wrong) The Ris server sends a tftp-path-prefix location where the pxelinux.cfg is searched. On the ris server I have entries like: label server2 kernel 192.168.1.2::pxelinux.0 This fetches the pxelinux from server2 but the pxeconfig.cfg from server1 is used. Can I overrule this with an

Hi I am facing a problem where I would like to import a TIFF image (of spots on a nylon filter) into R (into a matrix for example). When plotting the matrix using fx. scatterplot3d I would then be able to see how the pixel-intensities are distributed in "spot-areas" on the filter - which would be very helpful. Does anynone know of a way to do this? Best regards, Peter Hagedorn ...

I've put up some notes on my experiences which I hope will be useful to some people, especially since there is so little information on the Web. Perhaps they could be added to the pxelinux site. http://www.tarantule.btinternet.co.uk/ris.htm Patrick

I am fairly new to ISCSI and SAN technology but having recently invested in the technology I am trying to find out exactly what can and can not be manipulated, filesystem wise, without requiring a reboot. I am using the inbuilt software ISCSI initiator and multipathing in CentOS 5.1. My steps so far. Create 10GB volume on SAN # iscsiadm -m session -R # fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath0 # kpartx -a

Hello, I'm working on getting BartPE (normally a LiveCD of Windows XP) network booted by PXE from a Linux TFTPD server. Normally a M$ RIS server with Active Directory and stuff is necessary, but the basic filetransfers are all done by TFTP and SMB and can therefore be delivered by a Linux machine. I'm referring to this documentation http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php how to do
