similar to: Booting Live Cd over PXElinux - need help

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i

Hello. Some time ago, everything worked for me. But now it is very strange, it does no more work (using exactly the same setup) Do you have any idea how to find out what's wrong? Here is my situation: I am trying to boot over PXE. TFTP server is running. DHCP server is running from the same machine. Both by dnsmasq. TFTP server has the following files and directories:

Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

New idea proposal: Currently syslinux (and others) searches in for its config file, say syslinux.cfg, in a hardcoded list of directories. I propose that if the config file is not found, instead of producing an error message like "unable to locate config file", it should try to search in root directories and its subdirectories. There is -d option to install syslinux to any directory

Is there a way to start or trigger the el-torito process from PXELinux? On my network, veeeeery occasionally I have the need to start the contents of a boot cd or usb stick from pxelinux, is there a device node (like grub has) that I can call to create a label like LABEL StartCD Menu LABEL Boot from the CD Drive

I have syslinux booting slax off of a usb stick but in the process I think I may have found a bug in syslinux im using version syslinux-3.31 my syslinux.cfg use to look as follows <== beginning display boot/splash.cfg default slax autoexec=startx prompt 1 timeout 40 F1 boot/splash.txt F2 boot/splash2.txt F3 boot/splash.cfg label slax kernel boot/vmlinuz append vga=769 changes=slaxsave.dat

Dear List, I can'f figure how to add point labels in the next plot (example from ?taxondive help page, from vegan package): library(vegan) data(dune) data(dune.taxon) taxdis <- taxa2dist(dune.taxon, varstep=TRUE) mod <- taxondive(dune, taxdis) plot(mod) The points in this plot are diversity values of single sites, and I'd like to add a label to each one. The plot command don't

hello, I have a problem about pxe booting. I have two isolated machines, one(server) has got dhcp and tftp servers working correctly ( I am pretty confident with this). The other machine (client) using floopy to boot with pxe-request. The problem is, the client cannot get the bootfile("/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"), it always report no boot filename found. I also found the IP address, which

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

Hello, I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu. The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on ubuntu, even after root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64 So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well. Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources: --- syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh.orig 2012-08-28

Hi, I have a problem of using samba on a windows xp client. When i'll try to connect to the domain and create a machine account all works.

Hello, I'm reporting a bug, see attached syslinux.cfg I'm using submenu entries to emulate checkbox inputs. The idea is simple, there are submenus generated for all possible cases, and each Enter keypress loads appropriate submenu section. The logic of the menu is correct. Just syslinux has some bug. It doesn't set MENU DEFAULT properly for all submenus. If your first Enter keypress

hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B parted -s

Im trying to get 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 (which includes klibc) working on an nfs-root setup. Its not working, so I started adding printf()s (not printk()s !) 1st thing I notice is arg5 is empty, but arg 6 is real I could imagine this unexpected situation confusing kinit (will check..) Or is that empty arg intentional, so that it marks the beginning of pxelinux addons ? kinit:main: init-arg 0: /init

Hi, I'm trying to a boot a Samsung NC20 netbook (VIA Nano CPU, VX800 chipset) via pxelinux, using the files from the netboot.tar.gz Debian installer. The last file tftp loads is vesamenu.c32, after that the notebook just reboots. I can see no error message, and no menuscreen. I also haven't used pxelinux before, so I even don't know what I am supposed to see :-) Any idea what is

This is an issue I've researched quite a bit on bug lists, and looked in the Syslinux Wiki for a way to do this, but haven't yet found a solution. 1) I have an existing Fedora 13 LiveCD which I burned to a CD and tested on a system without issue. 2) I then took that same ISO and dropped it in my pxelinux.cfg/default for being able to boot over the network. I made sure to extract the

Hello, Not sure if and how this works... question is: I would like to have a dual-boot scenario where pxelinux boots a linux based thinclient per default and the possibility to optional boot a ms-dos pxe image. The faq says it's possible to boot dos from pxelinux but there is no clear how-to (it least I cold not find it). Any help is appreciated. kind regards, Dirk
