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

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hi All: I found this old message on the web archives. I've gotten Xen working with PXELinux, albeit with something of a hack. The basic chain is: 1. pxelinux 2. memdisk 3. FAT16 floppy image 4. grub installed on floppy image 5. xen.gz and vmlinuz on floppy image While this seems pretty simple, the key bits were to use: 1. FAT16 (not ext2, etc) for the floppy image 2. use the 'raw'

Good morning, I'm having a bit of an issue getting a 3CR990B-TXM NIC detected and usable. Just wondering if anyone knows of any issues with this NIC chipset and/or with the motherboard chipset. The motherboard is a Biostar GeForce 6100 AM2 using an nVidia nForce 410 chipset and nVidia GeForce 6100 vide chipset. I've tried FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, 6-STABLE (from Wed), and 7-CURRENT (from

I am trying to use PXELINUX to quickly build a RedHat 7.3/Red Hat 8.0 network via TFTP, NFS, and Kickstart . I had this working previously with an older version of PXELINUX, but as I am trying to build a new network segment, I needed to set this up again. I have the files set up as specified, where my default file looks like: default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz append

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, I am trying to get xen booted on a new mainboard I bought using efi-syslinux/mboot. No success so far. When I choose the xen menu entry except from some characters being wiped from the bottom of the screen nothing is happening. I have made a typo in the xen kernel filename. Nothing changed, no errors about wrong a filename were displayed Initially I compiled syslinux 6.03 (slackware64,

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux 3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

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

Hello. I want to make ESXi on LUKS encrypted partition. ESXi uses Mboot.c32. Can the Mboot.c32 work with luks-encrypted? If it is possible, where i can see an example? Thank you!

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

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
