Hi everybody Attached you will find a file pxe.mnu (encoded with mime). It is PXE menu file created by 3COM MBA IMGEdit.exe tool. It is very strange since: 1) When I point DHCP bootfile to this file it loads with no problem and the menu is displayed. 2) When I point DHCP bootfile to pxelinux.0 and in pxelinux.cfg I put the command "KERNEL pxe.mnu" then system hangs. I wonder why this

Hi I am using PXELinux to boot BartPE and some other application and it works fine. There are some other Boot application which I am using 3COM MBAUTIL PXE.mnu and floppy images. I have problem chaining from pxelinux.0 to 3com pxe.0 (pxe.mnu). Consider: BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->pxelinux.0 works fine. BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->3COM pxe.mnu works fine, the menu appears and I can choose a floppy

Hi Is there any method to chain to 3com menu file (mnu.pxe)? It hangs now. Behrad

Hi! We (an astronomical center) are building a small cluster for our number-crunching. The problem is that we have 12 mobos A7V600 by Asus (for athlons) - 1 server + 11 diskless nodes. And here comes the trouble... hardware: mobo: a7v600 net: 1 gigabit by 3com - 3c940, integrated in mobo the problem is: dhcp - works fine tftp - works fine pxelinux.0 - downloads fine (I hope) linux kernel -

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

HI there. Probably my message is a bit off topic but I do not know where else I could be asking. . I'm running a linux terminal server with one client provided with a 3C509B ISA card.

I decided to try to set up a PXE network boot (I'll needed it for installing a

Hi In MBA Utilities there are two usefull utilites name PBOOT.exe and BPPATCH.exe which helps booting to local in a DOS floppy image and also patching a text file (like a batch file) by different DHCP options (like ip, server, boot filename) and .... They are not working under MemDisk although I have specified keeppxe. Do you know any solution? Behrad

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

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

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.

pxelinux, when given a localboot=... option, will try to boot next bios device itself. The problem is it takes next BIOS device by BIOS order of enumeration. That has no connection with the boot order defined in BIOS. Since a user cannot control BIOS enumeration but can control the boot order, there is no way one can force a desired next device for local boot with pxelinux. In general, you

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, I have not been able to get the IPAPPEND option to successfully set the ip parameters for a pxelinux install.

I'm having problems with PXELINUX passing through to a "localboot" on a HP Proliant DL385. I'm working with 3.73. If I configure PXELINUX to directly "localboot", everything works. If I configure PXELINUX to use menu.c32 or anything like that, a subsequent localboot fails. I see the expected "PXE ROM exiting" message but the next device doesn't

Recently, I decided to pull out a new model laptop for testing related to my job at work. Dell Latitiude E6400, BIOS A14. Normally I have it set to boot CD, USB, Net, then HDD and noticed that with PXELINUX-4.02 and 'LOCALBOOT 0', it hung on me before leaving the PXE stack. I then tried 3.86 and it worked. 4.00 and 4.01 both hung when I tested them as well. Changing to 'LOCALBOOT

Hello, We're using the PXELINUX to boot remote kickstart and Linux rescue images. Recently we got some new hardware (Compaq DL360) which required me to upgrade from PXELINNUX 1.75 to 2.02. Everything works fine on the new hardware, but the "localboot 0" option now just hangs on some of our older boxes. Specifically, our "Tyan Thunder 2510" motherboards with integrated

Is there a solution to pxelinux v2.00 hanging with 'localboot 0' ? I haven't had a good time with v1.76 due to the UNDI corruption bug. I just subscribed and I've searched the archives up to 12/5.
