Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

Hi, Is it possible to disable the clear screen when loading syslinux ? Since the IBM BIOS on xSeries systems shows the MAC address of the onboard NICs, I would like to have them on screen when people do a kickstart fro mthe prompt using eg: ksdevice=<MAC address> I personally think that the clear screen is unwanted in most cases since people can add that to the boot message (ctrl-L) if

Hi I am running a pxe diskless node in f13 and I have some proposals to make ovirt-early working in this version. nash is no more available (nash/mkinitrd is replaced by dracut), so this following command fails : "echo "network --device $DEVICE --bootproto dhcp" | nash" it makes the network configuration incomplete. I replace the linuxrc command by dhclient and it's

As I sit here staring at my manifests (and pondering a module to control Glassfish), I''m pondering the best way to do a first-run of puppet to get the initial repositories and puppet configuration downloaded. My theory is that I''ll modify rc.local (or replace firstboot-tui, we don''t use it with automated builds) to run puppetd twice - once to request the certificate,

Hi, In a corporate environment we are not allowed to use DHCP/PXE for doing network installations. This means we have to look for other solutions. Our solution is to use an ISO image (mounted via a KVM solution) to kick off the network installation. A big problem currently is that the order of the network interfaces is arbitrary (depends on the order of the drivers loaded) and is not

Hi, Is there still a known limit of 255 characters of the append line in syslinux (isolinux) from the config file ? A quick test showed me that when the APPEND line in the config-file is longer than 255 characters it arrives truncated in Linux. While typing more than 255 characters on the commandline does not cause the same issue and in Linux the kernel commandline exceeds the 255 character

Hi, I would be very interested in a possibility to create variables or macros within syslinux. One of the things I would like to have is a way to query DMI/VPD information, and use that as kernel parameters or to influence eg menu's or boot labels (based on system information). One of those very specific needs is to get the MAC address of the first onboard interface (which is available

It say to give a copy of dmidecode or sysdump if I need to use localboot -1 pxelinux.0 worked with localboot 0 but gpxelinux.0 didn't it needed localboot -1 This was on my hp machines

Hi, I was looking for a way to have a submenu go back to the previous menu when you use Escape inside the submenu. Or to return back to a menu when you return from a com32 entry (eg. kbdmap, hdt or rosh). I had hoped something like this worked: ---- default bootlocal prompt 1 label menu menu hide kernel menu.c32 label bootlocal menu hide localboot -1 menu begin main menu

Hi all - I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask this here, but I don't see this question explicitly answered anywhere. Is there an EFI version of "pxelinux.0" that will function basically the same way and read the same pxelinux.cfg/default menu files? I've got a really dodgy grubx64.efi EFI PXE menu up at work, but it can't load the 1.2 gigabyte LiveCD that we use

Hi, Red Hat started releasing security advisories and update packages that are part of RHEL3 U9. Still, on RHN there are no RHEL3 U9 ISO images released yet. As usual, CentOS will make available CentOS 3.9 when it is deemed ready. So there is no need to ask when it is going to be released :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm

Every post I do to this mailinglist is followed by a bounce message from "centos.5.warren at recursor.net". I have no clue why this is being send to me, afaics some IP address is being blacklisted but I am not related to it. Am I the only one who gets this and can we remove this person from the mailinglist ? Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/

I need to install asciidoc on my build machine. There is a version for CentOS-5 available at dags rpm site. I have a repository configured for dag like so: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

With the latest message I send to the CentOS list I got this strange 'probe' message. The included bounce example has nothing to do with my email-adres, but rather with someone subscribed to the list. So it seems that somehow the mailinglist manager is sending bounces to the wrong email-adres. Or I do not understand the 'probe' message (and the included bounce message) at all.

Wayne, others, Using the same version on server and client, I still got this error. This was still based on last night's CVS (HEAD-20050314-1745GMT) and I am certain both side's versions are identical. :) ... source/sudosh-1.4.7-1.rf.src.rpm 98373 100% 536.69kB/s 0:00:00 (798, 99.9% of 244497) Invalid packet at end of run [sender] rsync error: protocol incompatibility

Hello Everyone, In short, I have the following questions: Is there a known problem with PXE booting and LinuxBIOS? Will pxelinux.0 not work with a serial console? Is there a way to convert pxelinux.0 into an ELF file? The Long Version: I am working on installing Rocks Cluter distribution on a LinuxNetworx cluster. The hardware was donated to my college, and the CS

Hi, Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ? The other tabs do not include CentOS either. For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on 1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be. Renaming "CentOS Events" to "Events"

Hi, Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ? Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to rely on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested with experiences others have had and things to look out for. Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag

Hi, I'm looking for a tool that breaks a working system (in one or more ways) with the sole purpose to fix it again. The aim would be to use this tool for several debugging techniques sessions in our local LUG. When I was invited to speak at a local LUG I was wondering what was the best way to demonstrate some of the tools (and more importantly) the way to tackle a problem. And nothing

Hi, We have been testing the localboot functionality today and it could be useful if localboot was a com32 module rather than a configuration directive so that one can use it on the boot prompt, rather than require a menu entry/alias at all times. A more userfriendly localboot.c32 could do this and allow eg for friendly device-names. localboot next localboot floppy0 localboot hdd0 or
