similar to: IBA 4.x -> broken localboot in pxelinux

All, I have a question on how to deal with a quirk of the Intel Boot Agent. Both for PXE boots and for EFI boots. I've noticed this IBA quirk for years. According to the "DHCP options" RFC, variable length DHCP options are not necessarily null-terminated. Here's the details: >From DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2132#section-2)

Good morning, I''m new to rails and am having some basic questions in development. See if anyone can help me with a test problem. I need to test if my model "Procedure" is linked to the workflow. If not, the system must acknowledge an error. Below is the code that is in the file test \ unit \ procedure_test.rb. require ''test_helper'' class ProcedureTest <

Hello, We're using the PXELINUX to boot remote kickstart and Linux rescue images. Recently we got some new hardware (Compaq DL360) which required me to upgrade from PXELINNUX 1.75 to 2.02. Everything works fine on the new hardware, but the "localboot 0" option now just hangs on some of our older boxes. Specifically, our "Tyan Thunder 2510" motherboards with integrated

H. Peter, Do you still work at Intel? Any pull with Intel's NIC F/W team? Ask them to "Respect the RFC!" (Like Cartman -- "Respect My Authority!") That would be the best solution. :-) But I know I work for a hardware vendor and I have *zero* pull with any internal firmware team. Spike > Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 12:02:54 -0700 > From: "H.

Just download Syslinux 1.75 and set it up on my SuSE 7.3 box with latest ISC 3.x DHCP release. I am using the SuSE supplied in.tftp, and an IBM PC client with a IBM EtherJet (actually an Intel Pro 100) nic. Everything was actually quite straight forward to setup, and I got PXELinux working without too much trouble. I am booting several different DOS images without problem, and think my Linux

I haven't encountered this problem before. This is from a Compaq DL320, with Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17 and tftp-hpa-0.28 running on Solaris. The PXE stack gets its IP address just fine, but it times out on the TFTP. While snooping on the Solaris box and grepping for TFTP, I found that the box gets one block of the TFTP transfer just fine. TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)

First, THANKS! The SYSLINUX/PXELINUX s/w and docs are great. I have been able to set up a working server for PXE boot in very little time, using our existing Win2k DHCP server and a Red Hat 7.2 Linux server for tftp, etc... It took very little time (compared to an earlier effort 4 months ago.....) and the pxelinux/menu/memdisk environment is great for us. The environment seems to support PXE

Cordial saludo. Estoy teniendo un problema al convertir una columna categórica a numérica. Espero que me puedan colaborar. Esta variable está en números escritos, es decir, "uno", "dos" etc. Ya los cambie por números (que siguen siendo factores) mediante fct_recode y quise de ahí convertirla mediante as.numeric pensando que R iba a identificar los números y no iba a alterar el

Hi all, My server is IBM x3850 X5 and use Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v5.2.4 stack. When I choose localboot to boot from the harddisk, the system willnot boot up then still trying to boot from PXE. Several times later the PXE boot procedure is crashed with words as I attached. Does anyone have any good idea? Thanks very much.

pxelinux, when given a localboot=... option, will try to boot next bios device itself. The problem is it takes next BIOS device by BIOS order of enumeration. That has no connection with the boot order defined in BIOS. Since a user cannot control BIOS enumeration but can control the boot order, there is no way one can force a desired next device for local boot with pxelinux. In general, you

I have a pxelinux I'm working with and I want the default option to be to boot off the local mbr. According to the docs, if I specify localboot 0, it should return to the BIOS and continue to the next device. When I do this, though, the pxe agent exists (PXE-M0F), but the BIOS never continues on. Is this a BIOS issue? If so, has anyone else figured out a way to work around it? * Philip

Our site has many Dell OptiPlex 790s, all of which are unable to use the 'localboot' PXELINUX option as they either hang at 'Booting from local disk...' or immediately reboot depending on which SYSLINUX version is used. Many people have suggested using chain.c32 to chain load the local disk as a workaround, but this causes problems with Windows 7 BitLocker as it detects the chain

I'm having problems with PXELINUX passing through to a "localboot" on a HP Proliant DL385. I'm working with 3.73. If I configure PXELINUX to directly "localboot", everything works. If I configure PXELINUX to use menu.c32 or anything like that, a subsequent localboot fails. I see the expected "PXE ROM exiting" message but the next device doesn't

Hello! I use the latest version (3.0.8pre5) of PXELinux, menu.c32 and chain.c32 Everything worked fine with my test-PC (when WinME was installed on the hard disk): There is a working menu item for hard disk boot (chain.c32 hd0). I have deleted the partition table and installed W2k (NTFS): now hard disk boot no longer works if I use PXELinux. :-( First I thought that there is something wrong

Recently, I decided to pull out a new model laptop for testing related to my job at work. Dell Latitiude E6400, BIOS A14. Normally I have it set to boot CD, USB, Net, then HDD and noticed that with PXELINUX-4.02 and 'LOCALBOOT 0', it hung on me before leaving the PXE stack. I then tried 3.86 and it worked. 4.00 and 4.01 both hung when I tested them as well. Changing to 'LOCALBOOT

Hi LocalBoot have unpredictable behaviour. I have tried 0, 0x80 and -1 on different machines. Some work good, some hang, some reset and some repoen the menu. I also uses chain.c32 but it had the same problem. I checked 3COM MBA menu mba.pxe and it works good on all machines. Is there any workaround? Behrad

Hi, [I sent this mail again because my previous mail was rejected by ML for some reason] This topic is originally from etherboot ML. When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). pxelinux returns to PXE with localboot return code but etherboot doesn't check it. I was trying to change
