similar to: Patch: Parse append arguments properly in mboot module

Hey guys, I noticed the appended ipappend options end up in the beginning of the cmdline argv[] when mboot is entered. mboot then tries to parse the first argument as the name of the kernel module and promptly fails cuz it can't find "ip=.." or "bootif=...". I'm attaching a patch which basically looks for any arguments in the argv[] array and appends them to the

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

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

Hello, I noticed after upgrading from 3.20, I haven't been able to get syslinux to boot properly with menu.c32 or mboot.c32 from a USB key. I get an error saying invalid kernel when its trying to load menu.c32 or mboot.c32 (or any other kernel for that matter). I tried 3.35 and 3.36-pre5. Same exact behaviour. I'm using the following to compile: gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux

Is it normal for pxelinux to append something like BOOTIF=01-aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff ? the leading 01- is there in my config file name, but this doesn't seem to be right behaviour. Can someone confirm if this is a bug? I tried this on syslinux 3.21. thanks. -- Ram Yalamanchili

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 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

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

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

Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

Hi, This patch ensures that mboot.c32 will always jump to a physical address when loading a Multiboot kernel. Some kernels are linked with a virtual entry point and without this patch these kernels are unbootable.
