I'm seeing this on a HP Blade and i'm not sure why this is happning since the nature of the issue is so wierd. I compiled mboot.c with a DEBUG defined in the mboot.c file. In the funciton init_mmap(), it prints the e820 map and on the HP blade this map values come out to be totally random. Some weird numbers which dont make any sense at all. However, if i add a while(1); or a exit(1); at

I'm attempting to PXE boot a XEN dom0 kernel version 2.6.16, xen version 3.0.2-2. I've built syslinux-3.20-pre8 from source and am using the following config: DEFAULT mboot.c32 xen-3.0.2-2.gz dom0_mem=258048 --- vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen0 ro console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1 --- initrd.img Where initrd.img is my own custom initrd that I've built to do some pre-setup before booting to the real

Hello, I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present in mboot.c now, so I added support for it. The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next release of syslinux so ELF multiboot

Hi all, I've started writing a new mboot.c32 using the Syslinux native APIs; it is currently on the new-mboot branch of the Syslinux git repository. However, I don't have a huge number of things which use Multiboot set up to test, so I'd really appreciate it if you're a user of mboot.c32 to help me try this and report back positive or negative. I don't have the Solaris DHCP

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

Hi all, A number of people have posted to the Xen lists recently wanting to network-boot Xen on machines whose NICs are not supported by GRUB. I''ve been writing a module for PXELINUX that will allow it to boot Xen directly over the network on PXE-enabled machines, without relying on any hacks (mbootpack, &c.), or needing to write/port any device drivers. I have a version of it

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux 3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this

Hi, I am trying to get xen booted on a new mainboard I bought using efi-syslinux/mboot. No success so far.

Hi, I have had a VMware ESXi network boot setup for quite some time now. After upgrading from 4.06 to 5.01 (or 5.10-pre3) the network boot fails with the following error: --- snip --- Failed to load COM32 file esxi/5.1.0/mboot.c32 boot: --- snip --- This error is seen for the ESXi bootup only.

Hi all, I'm attempting to PXE boot ESXi, which uses the syslinux mboot.c32 module. The mboot.c32 included with ESXi seems to be an older version that runs into an "out of memory loading.." problem halfway through, even though the box has 8GB memory. This may be related to NUMA, since it works fine on an older box but not the newer blade. I saw that some non-contiguous memory issues
