gpxelinux feature request
Hi All,
A while back there was some mention that gpxe may acquire the
ability to receive command-line parameters. I'd dearly love if
this could become a reality.
It would be fantastic if we could have a pxelinux menu config
as follows:
KERNEL gpxelinux.0
APPEND config http://someserver.net/gpxe-for-this-box.cfg
This would solve a huge number of our problems since we
don't have the

Confusion on lpxelinux vs. gpxelinux vs. ipxe vs gpxe.
Hi All,
I've been trying to understand how to use pxechn.c32 to chain a local
pxelinux menu item to a remote server which has it's own pxelinux hierarchy
served via TFTP and HTTP.
We have no control over DHCP next-server and filename fields so I wanted to
exploit the "prefix" -p option that pxechn.c32 accepts.
I spent a long time hitting my head against a brick wall until I

pxelinux 4.03 taking forever to find .../pxelinux.cfg/default
Hi All,
It appears the NetApp OnTap tftp server we were using doesn't
implement the "OpCode: Error Code (5); Error Code: File not found (1)"
response." so we just moved the tftp service to RHEL boxes running HPA
tftpd.
It's essential for our deployment system to locate the pxelinux config
specific to an installation request based on it's MAC address. If the

Using pxelinux mboot.c32 to multiboot Solaris
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

Debugging gPXE -> PXELinux -> LTSP
Hi,
I'm investigating using LTSP for thin clients at my place of work, and
I've encountered a problem that I don't know how to approach. I don't
know if the problem is with gPXE, PXELinux, or the LTSP kernel, but I
think PXELinux is probably the right level to investigate it.
My situation is as follows:
I've installed the LTSP system from Ubuntu Gutsy. I've tested it

gpxelinux questions
Hi All,
I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a
few questions that I'd love to get some answers for...
1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging
or is this already resolved ?
2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the
UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ?
3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

PXELinux / gPXE no IP by DHCP
Hello everyone
I am experiencing problems with PXELinux/gPXE when netbooting using HTTP.
The problems I encounter:
- When the intel bootROM is sending out a DHCPDISCOVER it might not
recieve an IP address, but the server did send out a OFFER. Capturing
packets reveals the packets have been sent, and the client _should_ have
recieved it.
But when it passes that stage:
- When the gPXE bootROM is

Pxelinux - gpxe problem.
Hey,
It is some real awesome work you are doing. Thanks.
I have been trying to use gpxe - pxelinux to boot Linux from a remote
location.
It works with pxelinux 2.02 and lower. However pxelinux 2.03 and higher
return errors and booting is incomplete. Why?
syslinux-3.00 gives the following dump and hence the system does not boot.

Syslinux 3.70pre9 - sanboot.c32 says: gPXE API not detected'
Hi,
I have a working PXE environment that chainloads gPXE and loads pxelinux.0
afterwards. As I'm also interested in doing san boot (in my case aoe) I
tried loading the new gpxelinux.0 file instead of my gPXE --> pxelinux.0
setup (works) and booting from my aoe target by adding this to the default
config file:

Is there anything that controls the speed with which pxelinux.0 (4.03)

Extending dmitest to check for Long Mode (aka 64 versus 32 bit)
Hi Erwan,
First off, many thanks for your wonderful addition to syslinux:
dmitest.c32 and another thankyou to hpa for it's inclusion.
I need to ask if you are missing a couple of definitions in
dmi_processor.h, specifically, the "long mode" flag. I
need to use this flag to determine whether a machine is
64-bit capable or not.
There is a great web page explaining the "long

gpxe + SYSLINUX menus = Fail?
I am attempting to setup a test gpxe(linux.0) http site, to test among
other things the recent dynamic option 252 solution.
In the process of investigation I stumbled across
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/authmenus which indicates the
gpxe can launch vesamenu.c32 directly. Various other pages on
etherboot's site indicate menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 can be used
independently as well.

A fork is a fork, regardless the reasons behind it (yes, I have some
understanding in this case). iPXE is based off of forking further
development as of a certain gPXE commit with some backporting of gPXE
development to iPXE.

gPXE static IP parameter instead of DHCP
Hey *,
When using gPXE as a second stage loader, the computer will complete this
procedure:
POST/BIOS,
PXE (DHCP+TFTP) -> Download gPXE ROM,
Execute ROM,
Do a second DHCP request,
Download images with HTTP,
I was wondering if PXELinux/gPXE can give the gPXE-ROM some parameters
like a static IP based on the IP they got the first time, so it does not
have to do the second DHCP request.

Remove gpxe or replace with ipxe?
The gPXE in the Syslinux tree is ridiculously old. We could either
replace it with iPXE or just drop it, giving people a recipe for how to
integrate with iPXE themselves.
What do people think?

SYSLINUX 3.70-pre7: a very special prerelease
I have produced a first cut of integrating gPXE with PXELINUX. This
builds, in addition to the usual pxelinux.0, an image called gpxelinux.0
which includes the gPXE network stack.
The result is that one can now download images via (almost) any network
protocol supported by gPXE, including http. This lets one do fun things
like using a CGI or PHP script for the configuration file.

any way to get pxelinux to grab its config file from another host?
I'm using gpxe to chain to pxelinux on a different host than gpxe was
loaded from. The chain command looks like this
chain tftp://other-host/pxelinux.0
Unfortunately, pxelinux is ignoring other-host and going back to the
original host to look for its files. Is there any way to alter this
behavior?
Thanks,
Mike
