Hello! SSIA - when syslinux sees 'BOOT_IMAGE=' on the append line, something seems to go terribly wrong (didn't investigate in detail). You don't even get to see a boot-prompt, even if you try to force it. pxelinux shows the same problem, so I figure it's something generic in the config parser ... Best regards, Andreas P.S: and thanks for this software ;) -- "The

Hello, I tested some things, and found the following: when the kernel image file is present, but the initrd image is not, ONERROR is not called, and PXELINUX stays in the prompt forever ... Other error scenarios tested okay, a down/unresponding TFTP server can lead to 15-20 minutes delay until all tried filenames timeout out ... Just to let you know :) Andreas -- "The problem is not

Hello list, I had to boot a Dell Diagnostic Disk today, and tried doing this via memdisk - which was when I noticed memdisk isn't working for me at all, neither from pxelinux nor syslinux. After trying around with 'raw', 'bigraw' and the like I noticed it doesn't even do anything when just using: LABEL diag KERNEL memdisk .. when I try that: boot: diag nothing

Dear All, I've been using rsync with stunnel with success for a while now, but I'm not necessarily satisfied with it, i.e. having an extra layer externally and all, no authentication against SSL-subjects .. I had a look at the patch included with the source, and it doesn't quite address everything related to SSL, i.e. forcing SSL, verify options etc. are all missing - besides,

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

Hello all, I understand that during PXE boot, it goes into the pxelinux.cfg and it states: 1. "it will search for the config file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B (you can use the included progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try

I have gotten a couple of probes about NTFS support for Syslinux, and I would like to gauge how serious it is. I'm considering using it as a pilot project for writing Syslinux filesystem modules in C. However, an installer, or more realistically two (one for Win32, one for Linux) have to be written, so it's still a real time commitment. -hpa

Hello, I know this might be slightly off-topic, but I know at least hpa has an intimate knowledge of the linux boot process - and I would want to use it with syslinux/pxelinux, so I figure it might not hurt too much to ask: Is it possible to embedd the initrd with the linux kernel in a way similiar to how it works on some embedded systems? There, you provide an object file with the filesystem,

Is it possible to specify the root device in extlinux.conf by an ext2 label or uuid? How difficult is it to add this support if it is not there? I am in a situation where this is needed and my fstab is configured appropriately, but extlinux.conf still needs to be manually updated when the root drive changes to a different scsi device (due to the number of drives on the bus and the order of the

Hello, Has anyone thought about how one could use the "keeppxe" option with a vmlinuz/initrd? It would allow one to boot this combination, and if possible the linux kernel/initrd (assuming we have busybox in there) would not have to run udhcp and instead leverage what pxe stack information is loaded. The problem is I don't know of any PXE/UNDI linux utilities to look at the pxe

Hello, I was browsing the code for memdisk (I want to adjust it to my hardware) and noticed a couple of things that I am struggling to understand. I would appreciate if someone could clarify the following mysteries to me: 1) _binary_memdisk_bin_start[], _binary_memdisk_bin_end[] and _binary_memdisk_bin_size[]; These variables are declared (as extern const chat in 'setup.c')

Axel and everyone Your questions are valid. I had similar question when I bought these cards. These cards in particular have no rom chip on the pci card. If you plug these into a computer they do nothing until you load them with there firmware. When vt6410 are used on motherboards not as stand alone cards the bios has this firmware and loads it into the chip set on boot making them show up

Hello everyone, I am running Icecast 2.0.0 with ices-3.0. I run ices on a machine which has all the mp3 files I am playing and stream these mp3 to Icecast which is running on another machine. Every now and then, say 2 hours. Ices keeps churning out errors saying updating meta data and socket errors and keeps retrying and after some time it suceeds for one file and then when playing the next file

Hi, I looked through the documentation and the mailing list archives but could not yet find out whether this could be made to work. The task I want to use that feature for is being able to collect firmware updates for servers and their components and boot those updates from a notebook with DHCP/TFTP-Server. That would greatly reduce setup time for new server installations. The problem is that

Hello, I have set up Comedian Mail on my Asterisk system. I am using Voicemail not Voicemail2 in my extensions.conf file. The system works great except for 1 thing...It is not possible to create custom unavailable or greeting messages for 3/4 voicemail boxes. For some odd reason 3/4 users are unable to modify the default voicemail prompt with their own custom greeting. The greeting gets

Hello: We offer several options for accessing Comedian mail via Asterisk and IP phones. We'd like to add one more. We would like to be able to save a message on the Asterisk server in such a way that it can be retrieved using the telephone set and Comedian mail as it is today and/or via an IMAP client. If accessed via am IMAP client we would like to use an "externotify script" to

Hi list, Is this supposed to be a joke?

Hi, Now that it's possible to run tftp non interactively, it would be nice to get a non zero exit status in case of failure. Currently exit status is always 0, which makes tftp usage in scripts a bit inconvenient, as one has to parse its output. Thanks. Please CC me, as I'm not on the list. Felix.

I have observed that the tftp-hpa-0.48 tftp client sends an ACK in case it receives an error message from a tftp server. Inspecting the source code confirms this behaviour. According to the tftp RFC (RFC 1350), Sect. 2, server error messages should not be acknowledged by the client: "Most errors cause termination of the connection. An error is signalled by sending an error packet. This
