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

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, 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')

Hi* *I know very little about Linux but I am trying to set up a* *flash drive with Feather Linux and part of the instructions say I need a copy of syslinux 2.11 to make it boot correctly. They say the newer versions which is all I can find will not let it boot correctly. I can't seem to find any contact information to tell them at Feather Linux that if a specific older file is needed why

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

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, I would like to use in.tftpd in standalone mode, but without having it forking off in the background (I'm using inittab) .. can you add a foreground-option? Thanks in advance!

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

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, 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

Hi, i am currently working on a project to install our windows-workstations using PXE-Boot und unattended (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). All workstations load pxelinux and display a menu: Continue the bootchain (= start Windows) or reinstall the Workstation. The windows-workstations have static IPs (this can not be changes that easy, we are talking about more then 5000 Workstations....)

Has anyone had a problem with afud408 (Award flash program) freezing the system when ran from memdisk? The freeze occurs when just running afud408 (not attempting to update bios, although it freezes then as well.) I was using pxelinux/memdisk 3.36, I upgrade to 3.51, and also fell back to 2.11 all have the same issue. I have tried all the switches for memdisk that I saw posted on the memdisk

file->offset is used to store position in index root between ntfs_readdir calls. Previously, pointer to buffer was stored in this field. However this buffer is reallocated and read each ntfs_readdir call so the pointer may become incorrect. Now offset in index root rather than pointer is stored in this field.

Hi, I have been using 6.03-pre11 lpxelinux.0 to deliver standard (TFTP) and HTTP based vmlinuz and kernel images. Things are working fine. When I upgraded the same to 6.03-pre12 it stopped working.
