Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a...

Hi, I am new to this list, but would greatly appreciate any help on the topic. We are trying to automate the build/installation of a pSeries machine using kickstart server. We have a process in place that completes a system build of xSeries machines. It uses pxelinux.0 to direct the bootp to the kernel, ramdisk and kickstart.config file. I was trying to use the same process to build the pSeries

Gene, First off, great documentation on http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX-Multi-Arch You clearly lay out the various techniques. Just last week, I presented a pxelinux talk to our local Linux meet-up group. (I've given this talk before.) http://2014.texaslinuxfest.org/content/creating-legacy-efi-pxe-server-using-pxelinux.html Apparently, I'm using the "distinct

Hello... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

Dear All, First posting here... I am trying to integrate a PXELinux boot into my native-mode WDS server. I have found that making WDS boot the PXELinux is easy (see below), it is making PXELinux give control back to WDS that I have not cracked yet. -In your WDS server, copy the contents of your tftpboot folder to the Boot\x86 folder in your RemoteInstall one. -Open the Windows Deployment

All, I was excited to hear about EFI boot support in pxelinux >= 6.00. So I tried it. Not working. I've tried 6.02 (from source), 6.02 (from RPM), early 6.03 (from RPM) and even pulled/compiled latest source from git. 6.0.3-pre7. No love. My boot client can boot/image fine in legacy PXE mode. My dhcpd.conf looks like this: # In initial DHCP DISCOVER packet, PXE client sets option

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

Hi, I have some strange problem with pxelinux. I have a quite big config file (>8K), with much labels (29), long append's and some texts on the F-Keys (F1-F5). This works as expected, pxelinux loads all labels without a peep. Now I added 'kbdmap kbd-de' to this config file - and I get strange errors all over. pxelinux reports several times 'Unknown keyword in config file.'

I'd like to add a user-friendly menuing system to pxelinux replacing/enhancing the default on the pxelinux.cfg/default Where can I find instructions on how to get started? Regards, Conrad Lawes Sr. Technical Analyst Argon Technology

I know it's possible to set a DHCP parameter to tell pxelinux to use a mac address as the pxelinux cfg file name-- is it possible to tell it to use the IP it is being assigned as the filename?
