Is there a way to start or trigger the el-torito process from PXELinux? On my network, veeeeery occasionally I have the need to start the contents of a boot cd or usb stick from pxelinux, is there a device node (like grub has) that I can call to create a label like LABEL StartCD Menu LABEL Boot from the CD Drive

Is there an LSPCI comboot module that someone has written? Or a linux style boot disk that has: a KERNEL b LSPCI c very small size d quick boot time I am currently having to get through a 5 - 7 minute boot cycle with a fedora setup just to get the lspci output.

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

OK, been perusing the archives and Google, but can't find what I want. I'm building up a 512 MB compact flash using the CLFS directions to build the filesystem. That works great, but I would like to use extlinux to make the cflash bootable on my little SBC. However, to date, no dice. Attached is my extlinux.conf file and the steps I have used to make this work. Initially I tried to

I am testing BDD 2007 and WDS on a Windows 2003 Server. I have a PXE Server with tftpd32 and pxelinux boot. Is it possible to have a menu entry that chain the first pxe booting(pxelinux) to the WDS Server which is on a different computer because I can't install WDS on the TFTP pxelinux. I have testing this entry: LABEL TEST WDS kernel ipadress::pxeboot.0 but the first server always respond

When booting windows I currently have to use an extracted boot sector to chain-load the OS, is there any merit to creating a method to execute NTLDR directly using a /reverse engineered/ version of the boot sector?

Does anyone know if the ABIOSDSK service in XP would "find" and a HDD image pushed to ram by MEMDISK?? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Hi, Recently once again an exploit for SuperProbe was posted to the bugtraq. That message was forwarded to linux-security and Rogier Wolff rejected it on the basis of the author of the SuperProbe (David Wexelblatt) comment that it was never intended to be suid. In general, there is absolutely no reason for programs that are supposed to be run only by root to be suid to root! If your

What is the point to checksum_seed? When reading/writing batch, it is initialized to a constant value, otherwise it is initialized to time(NULL). It certainly has no useful cryptographic value :) I got the go-ahead from the client on my --link-by-hash proposal, and the seed is making the hash unstable. I can't figure out why the seed is there so I don't know whether to cirumvent it in

I now fully and completely remember why I hate Windows. I have struggled with the backup semantics options in order to get rsync able to back up open files, and I got something that appeared like it should work, but it didn't work. So I finally broke down and wrote a holdopen.exe and a tryopen.exe to test my theory, and no matter what privleges were enabled (backup and restore were enabled),

I've pondered the feedback and revised my proposal to the client. Here is the revised project objectives. Notably, this is the addition of 4), the deletion of the whole slew of items actually related to handling versioned files, and mention of preexisting work on 1). I've took a little gander at some of the backup wrappers, and it looks like I will probably use one of these. I'll

After about 15 hours, a packet sniffer and a ton of google searching later, I have a solution to getting WDS (Windows Deployment Services) to work with PXELINUX Google didn't turn up anything of use directly, everything that was referenced appeared to be related to starting pxelinux from either WDS or RIS. That just won't do, since they often can give hiccups and lockups when

Hello sylvian Thanks. I use kernel 2.4.3 so far, and the Linux Progress Patch seems to start at 2.4.13.... What I don't understand is, why the kernel whipes out the VGA-display, as both Syslinux and the kernel is setup for serial-console. best regards ole at danelec.dk * danelec electronics a/s * Blokken 44 * DK-3460 Birkeroed * DENMARK * Phone: +45 45821879 * Fax: +45 45821979 *

Hi! Below is a link to a proposal I'm writing for two clients of ours who want an Internet-based backup solution. I propose eleven "objectives" in it, most of which are modifications to rsync. I'd like to contribute these changes back where possible, and so I'm posting this here for review. The nuts and bolts of it is the ability to keep multiple copies of files (think

hi guyz, One simple question. What does rsync do when it encounters open files. Do we have to use open file manager(like st bernard) to back up open files or is there any open source open file manager or can rsync backup open files by itself. thanx tarun --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I've asked every M$ expert I know, trolled through M$ TechNet, experimented with SRVANY/INSTSRV login scripts which hard-code username/passwords to login to a Samba 2.2.8a SMB server. I've experiment with and without the "Allow service to interact with Desktop" switch turned on. I am stuck. :( I can find no way to mount a share as a service, so that IIS can serve web-pages
