similar to: pxelinux: how to retrieve dhcp parameters after boot

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

Hello, I am experimenting with pxelinux. My setup is currently working. My network card receives IP address from DHCP server, and then it downloads pxelinux.0 and executes it. PXElinux loads its config file ('pxelinux.cfg/default') and is able to download vmlinuz and initrd.gz from TFTP server, and execute vmlinuz. Now the question: is there any way to pass server's IP address as a

Hello, I have not been able to get the IPAPPEND option to successfully set the ip parameters for a pxelinux install. I have LABEL install KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/tftpboot.img APPEND initrd=pxelinux.cfg/initrdfs.gz root=/dev/ram IPAPPEND 1 where tftpboot.img is either of http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/ idepci/tftpboot.img

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hello Shao, Thank you for your hint. I saw this one already earlier but I wanted to avoid it for two reasons: - One of my images uses a CPIO INITRD which I found rather complicated editing (like I wrote I'm quite new to all that Linux stuff). - For each new release I will need to do the changes to the prebuilt images again. I'm not the one who creates the images. I'm downloading

I used pxelinux.0 to boot my kernel, then the kernel began to boot. However, it cannot mount nfs root. I checked the nfs root is exported OK! The last screen is as followed: serial sub-system self-test: passed. internal registers self-test: passed. ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b). eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/dri ver/eepro100.html

Hi All, I am going to be presenting a 45 minute session at Linux World in April on how to use PXELinux to provision linux systems, among other things. This probably isn't of value to most on the list, as it is geared towards giving new users a jumpstart on what's needed so that they can get up and going quickly along with some practical suggestions and tips. I'll be

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

Background: I recently wrote to Peter Anvin regarding IPAPPEND functionality, and he suggested I take the issue to this mailing list. I see it has been touched upon several times, after reviewing the archives. Let me see if I can add to it with a good level of detail: When using PXE to network boot a linux client, PXE must first acquire the client's IP address, by dhcp request, then, the

Short version: Is there a way to find out which interface PXE booted from? Long version: I'm working on a cluster of machines, each using a networked root filesystem, booting via PXE. Some of these machines have multiple interfaces, some of which are going to be on networks that have functioning DHCP servers that will offer addresses. I'd like to have modular network drivers.

intel etherexpress pro 100 nics at my lan, server with tftp, nfsserver and pxelinux running for about half a year at my lan. Hi, When I use a kernel v.2.4.20 the pxe boot loads the pxefiles, kernel and then stops asking for files from the server and complains about a "Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up." and messages about to insert a disk... ... the same .config used with

Question, testing the waters to see if anyone has input on this. My summary belief is that I'm seeing a problem with the PXE bios code causing this issue. I'm trying to find out what else I can do to confirm that, and rule out pxelinux/. I'd like to get a confirmation that the use of pxelinux isn't a factor, as I'm not using 'keeppxe'. I'm rolling out a

I am sending a patch that makes the debugging output of PXELINUX slightly more concise, without (intentionally) affecting its completeness at all. Additionally, I am proposing that the debugging output of PXELINUX -- specifically the messages that appear after the copyright statement, but before the menu is loaded -- only be shown in response to keyboard input (such as holding Shift or Alt, or

Hi, I am trying to boot the PXEclient via pxeserver and I am getting an error "file not found", following are me setup in the /tftpboot: /tftpboot: initrd.img linuz pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg default (lower case) in the default file: # This is the default pxelinux config file. LABEL test KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND

Greetings all, Is there currently any mechanism in pxelinux the would send a mac address of the pxe booted interface through to the linux kernel much like ipappend can send the ip address? Kickstarting a system with multiple interfaces can be troublesome. ksdevice is helpful but only in some circumstances such as forcing eth0, but that doesn't always work since probe order changes depending

Peter, we have met in Cyber space looong time ago, when I was requesting 10:minor numbers for the Netwinder project.... Now I am trying to build a network boot for Xandros distribution. I have it working, however I need to do 2 DHCP cycles - 1 happens in PXE, and then it repeats in my network boot code (based on BusyBox). All I need in the second stage is the NFS image address, passed by DHCP

Hi, Recently I upgraded pxelinux.0 from 2.04 to 2.09, after that the pxelinux doesn't correctly obtain server's IP address. The true address is 172.20.0.101, but 2.09 understand it as 172.20.0.11. "0" is dropped. As a result, root nfs-mount is directed to the non existent server. Following is the full screen dump of pxeboot by pxelinux 2.09:

Hi guys, I have been fighting with Syslinux and PXElinux for two days now. I have gotten the floppy to boot but can't get pxelinux to work. I get a message: No !PXE or PXENV+ API fournd; we're dead I am guessing this means I need something else on the floppy? The floppy has: # ls /floppy/ total 24K -r-xr-xr-x 1 9.4K Nov 2 16:31 ldlinux.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 14K Nov 2 16:50
