Greetings Luis, I saw a thread about Startrom.com and startrom.o that had your name attached... I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an issue that I have. I have a Linux server that is our corporate PXE server. It is set up in a logical folder structure so that a host can be pointed to boot a variety of different OS's (DOS, Linux loaders, Windows PE). Here is in my dilemma,

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

I think this is probably a dual purpose, pxelinux/syslinux question, but I'll ask here first since this is probably of interest to a number of people. Has anyone set up a network install so that an admin simply installs a blank hard drive, turns on the computer (pxe enabled, of course) and walks away. And then, N minutes (hours) later has a multi-boot system which can boot both Windows 2000

I've been attempting to create a bootable image thats double the size of the 2880 floppy disk. I can do the following to create a image that will boot with memdisk but i cant seam to get it to work with a larger size. What works... dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy288.img bs=1024 count=2880 mkdosfs floppy288.img ms-sys -1 -f floppy288.img mount -o loop floppy288.img /mnt

I have tackled a major bug that affected sdi.c32 especially, but might at least theoretically have affected other formats as well. It *appears* to load the SDI image I managed to stitch together with XP Embedded Studio, but it doesn't actually boot neither on my system nor in simulation; then trying to upgrade it to SP2 caused it to corrupt itself, so I'm not all that keen to trying

Hi The setup, as in the subject, is supposed to boot a Winpe to install xp to a clean PC. I use the Ramdisk method (ie PXELinux pases the setup on to the M$ pxe loader and and boots WinPE) It works perfectly with evry other chipset, but Nvidias NForce 4. (tested 15 different) With NF4 it loads up well but the M$ PnP routine detects the Network management bus wrong (nvidia specific approach to

I am trying to set up somthing so I can dial into my asterisk box, and have it behave as a modem bank. Is there anything like that already, or am I going to have to write my own. I checked googls and found no leads, but thought I would ask here before I tried writing my own, just to make sure I wasnot reinventing the wheel. Thank you in advance for any responses. -Chris

Hello. I am trying to run advanced dialog-like menus from com32. But I can not boot anything... ? it always fails. :-) So, my /path/to/pxelinux.cfg/default looks like this: --------------8<-------------- DEFAULT pxemenu/fancy.c32 PROMPT 0 IMPLICIT 1 TIMEOUT 600 LABEL test MENU LABEL Test KERNEL suse10_3/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=suse10_3/initrd.img ....(and so on)....

Hello syslinux, Here is a good article http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php I did it all, but when my windows XP is starting UP it asking txtsetup.sif and cannot find it If you did it. write me please... -- Best regards, Anton mailto:asa at roma.zp.ua

Hi, I've read in some post in your mailing list there is a special version of startrom.0 which is possibile to load remote bart oe by xpe. Can you provide me it or teach me how to create my own one? Thanks in advance

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali

Is it possible to chain isolinux and memdisk over pxelinux? If it's possible, I'd like to boot a CD Image over the network. I've been using pxelinux to boot ltsp for years, and recently upgraded to take advantage of memdisk for booting a DOS hd-image. Ideally I'd be able to boot a CD-Image. Thoughts? -- <:3)~ Michael T.

While the spirit of BDD is to spec first and code second, many of us have legacy code. Worse, some of us have legacy code without very good coverage. Recognizing that *I* have such code, I created a script that grinds through your .rb files and creates placeholder specs for each public method. While it is more sensible to spec behavior of code function than of individual methods, this

I am testing BDD 2007 and WDS on a Windows 2003 Server. I have a PXE Server with tftpd32 and pxelinux boot. Is it possible to have a menu entry that chain the first pxe booting(pxelinux) to the WDS Server which is on a different computer because I can't install WDS on the TFTP pxelinux. I have testing this entry: LABEL TEST WDS kernel ipadress::pxeboot.0 but the first server always respond

It seems that quite a bit of stuff built up very quickly after the 2.07 release: Changes from 2.07 to 2.08-pre6: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is

Hi. I want to use PXELinux to build a dynamic boot menu for a computer lab. Sometimes, the machines need to be in Linux mode/Windows mode/allow the option of Linux/Windows. I configured this all fine with PXELinux. My problem is really one of security. Someone can plug in a laptop with a DHCP server, and tftp server and fake a lab machine to boot into any mode they desire, or even

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

Hi ! Does anyone know a possibility to allow RAS-Dialin for users in a fully Samba-controlled Domain ? Tried usrmgr in Windows, but got only errors. (Should this work ?) Is there a possibility to make it on the command-line ? (Need not store the callback-number) Thanks in advance and kind regards Andreas Lindenbauer EDV-Technik Salamander in Austria GmbH Zeleborgasse 21 A-1120 Wien Tel.: +43 1

I'm installing syslinux on an embedded board that will only be reachable via boat+hike or helicopter. This will be a somewhat experimental platform, so I can't make a read-only filesystem on CF. What I'd like is to have two root filesystems on a CF card, one that is a read-only "fail-safe", and a 2nd that is the "normal" system I experiment with. What I'm

I researched on Archive, but the instruction says to copy startrom.com to startrom.0, so I changed boot program to startrom.0 instead of pxelinux.0, it gives me a TFTP error saying file not found. then I keep startrom.0, change boot program back to pxelinux.0, then I do not see F12 key and boot directly to PXE. then I change the boot program to startrom.com it asked me to press F12, but can
