Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,

Hello, I would like to install a Windows 2000 Server and configure it with RIS (remote installation services). The server is in a domain where a Samba 3 server, a machine with SuSE Linux and Samba 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE, plays the PDC role. The PDC works well. When I try to configure RIS in the application wizard (appwiz.cpl) of that Windows 2000 Server machine, it tells me that the setup for RIS

gpxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can't work with microsoft RIS (startrom.n12),but pxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can work with microsoft RIS well. keeppxe can't work in 3.74.

Christian "Dr. Disk" Henchelmann just sent me a nice writeup on how to set up PXELINUX and Windoze RIS at the same time. I've posted his writeup on the web: http://syslinux.zytor.com/ris.php I hope this is useful for some people :) -hpa

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

Having the same trouble that Mark ( http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-March/000244.html) had over a test platform I have here. Having a redhat 7.3 with dhcp V3.0rc12 and atftp (0.6.2) on a local small hub and a W2k Server with RIS installed. If I stop binlsvc on nt server my network boot run ok to pxelinux, but as soon as binlsvc is started, RIS server always respond over my local

We are thinking of using pxe boot with a windows ris server to start off a Centos 4 install. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks Dean

I've put up some notes on my experiences which I hope will be useful to some people, especially since there is so little information on the Web. Perhaps they could be added to the pxelinux site. http://www.tarantule.btinternet.co.uk/ris.htm Patrick

Doing a lot of RTFM lately about PXE. I have done xCAT builds but want to take the voodo out of the process so I can control and understand the whole system. I am new to PXE technology and so consider me ignorant. The current server is a MS RIS server and I am attempting to migrate our facility to use Linux / PXE instead. First stage: take existing DOS bootnet floppy and convert to boot from

Hello, I am trying to boot an RHAS 4 release 3 guest kernel (the binary release available through Redhat Network) from a SLES 10 dom0 host (the binary release available through Suse''s software distribution channel). Both systems are installed as physical partitions in a standard multiboot configuration on a single hard drive on a recent vintage HP Pavilion (zd7380) notebook PC with a

After ordering the table of membership degrees , i must get the difference between the first and second coloumns , between the first and second largest membership degree of object i. This for K=2,K=3,....to K.max=6. This difference is multiplyed by the Crisp silhouette index vector (si). Too it dependending on K=2,...,K.max=6; the result divided by the sum of these differences I need a final

I've built samba by hand before , but I've never seen this message, perhaps you can shed some light. I suddenly can't get past the ./configure script. ./configure --prefix=/usr/samba --with-winbind --with-automount gives me the following error: checking for conflicting AUTH_ERROR define in rpc/rpc.h ... no checking for test routines ... configure: error: can't find

I'm trying to recompile the source RPM from the FC3 version of cvs (http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/SRPMS.updates/cvs-1.11.17-4.src.rpm), as the version shipped on RHEL/CentOS/etc has a known bug (version 1.11.2-unix "cvs watch on" doesn't work). The initial configure is failing with this obscure error: configure:2257: checking for C compiler default output file

Hello! Recently I moved some file shares from old server to new one with CentOS 5.2 and samba 3.0.32. And yesterday we found that antivirus (nod32 ) installed on users computers do strange thing- it's often locks and locks files. Here is part of log with debug level = 10 [2008/11/19 11:32:28, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(927)

Greetings xen gurus... I''m working with xen-3.0-testing downloaded on July 3, 2006. I have configured an hvm domain and want to use vif-route and network-route to configure the communication. The domU starts up fine. I was able to complete the installation of the OS (RHES3) and can restart the domain repeatedly. However, I cannot ping the network interface from dom0 using the

I want to chain multiple servers with pxelinux initiated from a ris server. (Correct me if i'm wrong) The Ris server sends a tftp-path-prefix location where the pxelinux.cfg is searched. On the ris server I have entries like: label server2 kernel 192.168.1.2::pxelinux.0 This fetches the pxelinux from server2 but the pxeconfig.cfg from server1 is used. Can I overrule this with an

I noticed some links and suggestions on the SYSLINUX web site that reference how to run TFTP on Windows 2000 Server. Two of them suggest installing RIS, and one of them points to a third-party utility. I don't need to install RIS, because I don't want to run Windows setup over PXE. (In fact, I want to use PXELINUX to boot a DOS floppy and run Symantec Ghost to deploy an image.) Also, I
