similar to: Hanging menu.c32 with recent pxelinux

Hello all. I've got this weird problem. If I try to boot a simple menu using syslinux's (v 3.09) pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 -files my Dell 1850 loses the keyboard / hangs straight after loading menu.c32. The machine has to be powered off completely. I did some research and got it working by using menu.c32 v3.09 and pxelinux.0 v3.07 -combo. It seems that from version 3.08 on something has

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

Hi, HPA: Thanks for the nice new features, appreciate that. Syslinux is always a nice program. For the new version, 3.10-pre20, I encountered a problem now, my client machine uses sis900 chip, and it still can not run simple menu with pxelinux in this version (3.10-pre20). It's same situation as I encountered when I used syslinux 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09. For 3.10-pre20, I compiled in Fedora

Hi, I've recently did some extensive testing with PXELinux and I must say it's great! I've tested it with several pc's and VMware vm's at home, this works flawlessly. However at my work, we only use MS Virtual PC 2007 and so on. I've started today to testimplement pxelinux into wds/ris, this seems to work but when I want to display a menu eg: default menu.c32, then

Thanks very much for syslinux and pxelinux,they bring me many conveniences.I have problem in some computers.My english is very poor,so i submit in chinese and poor english.First I say sorry! ????pxelinux???sis900??????????? ????????default???????menu.c32??vesamenu.c32????? ???default???????DEFAULT memdisk c=638 h=2 s=18 floppy append initrd=netboot.zip???????????????????????? ???3com?boot image

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

I've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

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

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

I've just tried 4.07 and that has the same results. I should note that I appear to be in error about things working OK with menu.c32 as opposed to vesamenu.c32 - I do indeed see the menu (which with vesamenu.c32 it does not get that far), but when I attempt to choose the Windows Deployment Services option, it hangs.

I was trying out the INCLUDE command within menu.c32 (via pxelinux, actually gpxelinux) and noticed that it's broken. The symptom is that the text is included, as expected, but the subsequent text from the including file is wrong. In some cases it actually pulls from above the INCLUDE leading to the INCLUDE being reprocessed (an infinite recursion). (The recursion seems to stop after 20-30

Hi! I have a PXE Server witch uses a the simple menu system. Is all working great also with submenus. What i want is a entry in the pxelinux.cfg/default file that can load a non-menu cfg file for the pxelinux.0. The background is, that i have here a DamnSmallLinux that is booting from PXE. it has a own cfg file but without the simple menu system (with F1-F2-F3 and a logo.16). If i move

Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.:

No change, still will not attempt to load ldlinux.c32. As a context, what I'm really trying to do is get a newer
