Hello! ethersel.c32 does not seem to work with all PCs. I have prepared a floppy that uses ethersel.c32 to load a NIC-specific file (etherboot .zlilo image). See http://etherboot.anadex.de for details. It works with every NIC and every PC I own, but not with VMWare. I know VMWare has some problems, so that did not bother me at all and I published it anyway but I have received several e-mails

Hi all! ...As I'm the author of http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=190646 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408 (for Steven: these two links are for the SAME file...) ...I'd like to say some comments, to let you understand what the peculiarities of my approch are... My approach is more minimalistic: etherboot have already the capabilities to

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

Hi All, I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / testing purposes. Installing RHEL5 from ISO images works ok, no problems with installation. The problem occurs with PXE boot - it is simply doesn't try to do PXE boot, according to what I can see: Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk FATAL: No bootable device. _ I have: CentOS

Hi Guys Im trying to complile Asterisk on my new dual Xeon 3.0ghz EM64T machine. Im running Debian 3.1, and have installed the 2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp kernel (and headers). The system is working fine and is detecting both CPU's (4 actually, with hyperthreading). But when I try to compile Zaptel, Im getting this error: /lib/modules/2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp? /build make -C

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

Hi all, My Ct's box is RH 3.0 SMP kernel EM64T. They are asking if OCFS for SMP (EM64T) is available or not.

Hi there, I do not know if it has to do with my english knowledge, but I tried several times to understand the difference beetween Etherboot and PXE-Linux. I know that Etherboot can be put on a Nic's ROM, but for what on h*ll then is the Etherboot floppy for? Please, could someone explain me stupid person these things? Thanks a lot. Greets, Thorsten

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second

I noticed in isolinux that I could use -1 to specify the last boot device, which is my PXE here (I've got it setup to get called after nothing else works). I'm wondering, is there a standard address reference for PXE? Like, floppies are usually addressed as 0x00 and first HD is usually addressed as 0x80, is there a standard for PXE? It'd be great to have a reliable "boot from

Hi, I need help about the stuff in nilo that gets burnt on a rom to make it a pxe bootrom. In etherboot, it's the file .rom and .lzrom etc. please help me indentify, what component in nilo is used with an eeprom writer to create a pxe bootrom from a 27c512 eprom. thanx and regards, milan -- Powered by Outblaze

Hello, I got in a situation where pxelinux 3.7 (or 3.6) reboots constantly after loading the configuration file and displaying the 'display' option file, but never showing 'boot:' prompt. config file is following: # PXE SYSLINUX config file - look at # http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php for syntax # # ---------- This is gate configure file ------- timeout 20 prompt 1 display

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations. There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting. Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

I'm looking to install Asterisk on an EM64T Dell 1850. PERC raid 1, 1GB ram, single 3Ghz Xeon. Any red flags or anything I should know? Should I bother installing a 64 bit OS? (gentoo-amd64)? Does asterisk work in 64 bit mode? Should I turn hyper threading off? Etc?

Hi! A friend of mine has tried a PXE floppy (build from the new etherboot 5.3.12) to load PXELINUX.0; a menu voice of the pxelinux.cfg use the LOCALBOOT statement. Selecting this statement, the PC retry to boot from the floppy... is this normal? The user expected that LOCALBOOT would have tried the NEXT boot device (ie CDROM or HD), not the FIRST boot device (the floppy)... (note: this has
