Hi all, I have a machine that won't boot syslinux 4.02 but will boot syslinux 3.53. We've installed syslinux 4.02 on a number of machines but only this one has a problem. The problem is that the machine hangs entirely after printing "boot:" on the tty. The stanza being booted in /boot/extlinux.conf is: label xe # XenServer kernel mboot.c32 append /boot/xen.gz

Hello, Starting version PXELINUX 3.83 2009-10-05, i am not able to boot anymore using "localboot 0" entry. It show "" Booting from local disk... """ Then loop on the network boot of the interface then after a few try show the message: """ It appears your computer has less than 268K of low ("DOS") ... Boot failed: press a key to

In this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-February/008014.html I reported that IBM Opteron servers with Broadcom BCM5780 chipsets would freeze randomly in the PXE menus from the SYSLINUX 3.35 tools vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32. There did not seem to be any reason for this nor systematics in when the servers would lock up. The solution is now available: Upgrade your IBM servers to

Hello * this morning I tried to upgrade from pxelinux 3.11 to 3.84 and discovered that the localboot stuff does not work on HP DL360 G3 and G5. The latest syslinux Version I found with a working localboot is 3.36. pxelinux.cfg/default: default harddisk prompt 1 label harddisk localboot 0 implicit 0 timeout 250 This so simple, it should just work, shouldn't it? The

Hi, syslinux: I am using pxelinux to install the Linux by network, it works fine. My question is in order to boot the client machine from network, my boot order(which set in BIOS) is: First, network; Second, Harddisk; Third, ...... But when the client machine finished the Linux installation, it will boot from network again and reinstall the OS again. So how can avoid this reinstall issue

Hi, The following 4 patches enable direct device assignment (PCI passthru) for HVM guest on AMD IOMMU platforms. Please apply them against C/S 16491 as the named order. To enable AMD IOMMU, please add "enable_amd_iommu" as xen boot parameter. 1-cleanup.patch: code cleanup, bug fix, minor enhancements to existing amd-iommu codes. 2-passthru-amd.patch: passthru support, modifications to

Hi all, My server is IBM x3850 X5 and use Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v5.2.4 stack. When I choose localboot to boot from the harddisk, the system willnot boot up then still trying to boot from PXE. Several times later the PXE boot procedure is crashed with words as I attached. Does anyone have any good idea? Thanks very much.

Hello, My challenge is to run Linux on a computer where I don't dare to touch the Microsoft Windows harddisk. Fifthteen years ago would be trick to attach a second harddisk to the computer and boot from floppy disk. In 2011 is the idea to attach a second disk and netboot it. One approach is to TFTP the kernel and append 'root=/dev/sdb1' This E-mail is however to seek advice for

Hi! I am experiencing strange behavior with my new CentOS 6.3 installation (system up to date). I have a big 11 TB EXT4 array mounted on /home/data. The server is a Tyan 2U (TA26-B3992-E) with Dual Opteron 2216, one cpu has 4 Gigs RAM and the other has 8 Gigs (so 12 Gigs total). The server uses 8 x Seagate 2TB SAS hard disks (7200 RPM) and all the disks are grouped together to form 1

I have used the SYSLINUX 3.35 successfully to boot up vesamenu.c32 as well as menu.c32 on an HP Intel PC (Intel 965 chipset) and a few other types of PCs. But when I use those very same SYSLINUX menus on an AMD Opteron server (IBM x326m), it is capable of loading up vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32 and displaying a list of menu items. But as soon as I select any item whatsoever in the menu list, the

I've recently moved from pxegrub to pxelinux (well, syslinux...) for many benefits. (memory fingerprint, etc) Its running perfectly, and exactly how I like it, except. LOCALBOOT 0 DOES NOT actually mount and boot the hard drive. All it seems to be doing is actually return error to the BIOS, which then boots the next device in it's list. This isnt a problem on most systems, but on

Thanks to debugging information from Thomas Mieslinger, I have root-caused the failure of chain.c32 in Syslinux 3.85. I have put out Syslinux 3.86-pre1 and Syslinux 4.00-pre33 which fix the problem. I expect to release a Syslinux 3.86 relatively shortly (ideally in the next two weeks), with bug fixes only. I would like to figure out if there are other bug fixes we can get in in reasonable time,

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where if I use vesamenu.c32 with PXELINUX 6.03 when network booting a virtual machine hosted on VMware ESXi 6.0, it hangs (the version message is printed and then nothing - the VM has to be powered off and back on again). This happens no matter if I choose the E1000 network interface or the VMXNET3 network interface when creating the VM. The same problem

Hello, Thanks very much for your suggestions. I have double checked that all .c32 files are from the same version of syslinux. What I don't know - I only put those .c32 files I have in there on the basis of trial and error - is what .c32 files are actually needed for menu.c32 and/or vesamenu.c32. I thought perhaps there might be a .c32 file missing that I needed to put in there (though

Hi, I have boon Googling quite a bit on this, but is it possible: I want to build an ISOLINUX boot CD, but want one of the option to be "Continue booting from hard drive" and thus disregard booting from the kernel on the CD. Is it possible? Or what can I do to force a HD boot from ISOLINUX.CFG? Thanks Herman Starship Systems

Hi! A friend of mine has tried a PXE floppy (build from the new etherboot 5.3.12) to load PXELINUX.0; a menu voice of the pxelinux.cfg use the LOCALBOOT statement. Selecting this statement, the PC retry to boot from the floppy... is this normal? The user expected that LOCALBOOT would have tried the NEXT boot device (ie CDROM or HD), not the FIRST boot device (the floppy)... (note: this has

Just download Syslinux 1.75 and set it up on my SuSE 7.3 box with latest ISC 3.x DHCP release. I am using the SuSE supplied in.tftp, and an IBM PC client with a IBM EtherJet (actually an Intel Pro 100) nic. Everything was actually quite straight forward to setup, and I got PXELinux working without too much trouble. I am booting several different DOS images without problem, and think my Linux

I have been using PXELINUX, with "LOCALBOOT 0" when wanting to boot from disk, for many years. Now on new Dell Optiplex 990 machines, PXE boot with "LOCALBOOT 0" hangs after message Booting from local disk... without the expected "Exiting PXE" message. I tried "LOCALBOOT -1" and some other values also, none seemed to work. I tested SYSLINUX 4.04.

I have a pxelinux I'm working with and I want the default option to be to boot off the local mbr. According to the docs, if I specify localboot 0, it should return to the BIOS and continue to the next device. When I do this, though, the pxe agent exists (PXE-M0F), but the BIOS never continues on. Is this a BIOS issue? If so, has anyone else figured out a way to work around it? * Philip
