Hello, I've got several machines which I'm trying to netboot, the setup is a bootserver using dhcpd3 and tftpd-hpa. When a machine boots up, it gets an ip address and downloads pxelinux.0 from the server, then it starts searching for pxelinux.cfg/[MACADDRESS] pxelinux.cfg/0A0000F0 and so on. On the server side I see in the syslog the client's DHCP-request and the client downloading

I have recently started to learn about doing remote booting and have seen your PXELinux product. I primarily use Debian and have obtained the syslinux package v2.00. I am having trouble getting my DHCPD and tftpd servers to work. At this time, I am only testing one client, but will want to be able to boot many different clients. I need to know how to setup DHCPD to boot any PXE clients (is

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

If I omit --secure from the tftpd-hpa command line, I then need to e.g. `tftp -c get /var/lib/tftpboot/vmlinuz` instead of plain /vmlinuz, even though I pass /var/lib/tftpboot as the tftp dir in the tftpd-hpa command line. That essentially means that I'm exporting my whole /, which is clearly something I don't want to do. I basically want tftpd-hpa to serve files from /var/lib/tftpboot

Greetings: I'm hoping PXE linux can help me with my problem... I'm trying to setup a PXE based install server under Linux that can host Linux (SLES9, Slackware) and Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2K3) Install images. I would ideally like to be able to have a PXE compliant host boot, and prompt me to pick an image to boot. Has anyone ever done this before?.. I have ISO images stored on the

Hello, I have set up 2 PXE servers, on Linux Debian Sarge and Etch, on which I use syslinux + ISC dhcp3 + tftp-hpa for booting. The older one, on Sarge, has been working fine for more than a year, great :-) The new one, on Etch, with the exact same config files, does not : the DHCP part seems to work, but at the end pxelinux seems to lose the server's IP address; this what I see on the

Hi, i'm trying to get my VIA Epia with VIA Rhine ethernet device to boot PXELinux. I have done this before, but now i can't get it to work. The machine loads pxelinux.0, i see some messages. But it fails just after trying reading the first config file (the one with the mac address). It kinda says this (transcribed): CLIENT IP: 192.168.1.23 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 192.168.1.93

I found (and fixed) a problem with my realtek onboard 8139 controller. dhcpd server sends filename "pxelinux.0" but realtek requests "pxelinux.0\377" (i.e. the octal character 377 is appended), resulting in a file not found during the tftpd phase. I fixed this by adding a mapping to tftpd: # strip ending garbage from filenames (Realtek PXE bug) r ^([[:graph:]]*)(.+)$ \1

Good morning everybody, I'm pretty new to syslinux & tftp-hpa, and so I'm not quite sure where my question belongs to, but I'll try it here first. I want to enhance the network services by offering a LTSP (just for the case the pc or laptop doesn't work for some reasons). And so, for testing, I added a second linux-based system (lets call it system-b). Currently the tftpd

We've been successfully installing Linux using pxelinux to bootstrap our Linux (CentOS) installs for many years, but we are about to take delivery of hardware that doesn't have legacy BIOS boot support for internal drives - so I'm making my first foray into the world of EFI - and can _almost_ get it all to work, but hit an issue that I'm not sure how to 'fix' ...

Hi ALL Has anyone any insight as to why RedHat Enterprise Level 5 is broken as far as PXE booting is concerned. Is there a Protocol communication problem ???????? Are there alternative tftp-severs that work for the RHEL5.. It seems: the PXE CLIENT when booting cannot access files in the "pxelinux.cfg" dir RHEL4 works just fine !! ( kernel 2.6.9-22.EL) with

Hello. In my case I can successfully boot up my Thinkpad X32, but the same configuration doesn't work for my desktop computer with Intel network card, with Intel Boot Agent 2.2 DHCP server is 10.0.0.1, tftpd (used tftp-hpa) runs on 10.0.0.32. netstat told me the daemon listen to 69 UDP port just fine. running tftp in commandline also shows it works (retrieve pxelinux.0 less then 1 second).

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to
