Hello, we have a problem with pxelinux and a specific hardware. In short: PXE starts, get and start the pxelinux.0 but can't get the configuration file. This problem belongs only to one new client. Other clients work in this environment with out any problem. The client is a HP xw4300 with the networkcard: ------------ vendor = "Broadcom Corporation" name = "NetXtreme BCM5752

This message is from Luis F. Correia, who unfortunately could not post it himself to the list.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Hi! I would like to thank you, H. Peter Anvin for creating this wonderful set of tools. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of proper examples in the docs. Syslinux and affiliates would certainly improve

Howdy. We've got a couple IBM x440 (Summit) 8-way Xeon systems that I've been trying to get netbooting for a while. Since we use Kickstart and SystemImager to load OSes on our systems, a system has to be able to netboot before it can be made available to folks for project use. System BIOS is the current one, v1.08. They're booting from a planar BroadCom Tigon3 adapter. BIOS

Hi This is a PXELinux problem that I'm facing. The problem, in brief, is that I have a set of diskless nodes (AMD Athlon XP 1800+ with 256MB RAM) connected via an internal 172.20.0.0/24 network to a dual AMD Opteron running SuSE Linux 8.3 for AMD64. I want the remote machines to diskless boot off the main server and run independently. The diskless machines have a PXE-compliant BIOS for

I am trying to set a uniform PXE environment to load multiple distros. RHEL 5.1 and 4.7 SUSE 10.2 and 11 Solaris 10 X86 Window Multiple server versions.... - Why? Because I am in hell. What I want is to have an upper level pxelinux.0 call the default menu directories that come with the releases. Is there a way to call pxelinux.0 and point it at a different pxelinux.cfg directory?

Hello, I have a Soekris net4501, which I'm PXE booting using pxelinux. Everything seems to be working splendidly, except for the fact that I can't seem to make pxelinux understand use the net4501's serial console port correctly. The net4501 uses the serial console as its primary interface; I'm using a null modem cable and minicom to operate with it. At boot, its startup

Hi, i try booting a PXE equipped client with pxelinux. The problem is: after receiving the file pxelinux.0 it requests pxelinux.cfg/C0A86451 and aborts. tcpdump: .... 16:01:58.786946 192.168.100.81.2073 > saturn.1337: udp 4 16:01:58.787033 saturn.1337 > 192.168.100.81.2073: udp 516 (DF) 16:01:58.787202 192.168.100.81.2073 > saturn.1337: udp 4 16:01:58.787528 saturn.1337 >

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

Hi, I'm using PXELinux (on Windows NT5.x, with Windows NT5.x tftpd and the PXE server included in the "Windows XP Embedded Remote Boot Server"). This works well here since more than 10 years now. Recently I created a subdirectory "syslinux" in my "tftpboot" ... and PXELINUX failed with the message "unable to locate configuration file". Renaming that

Hi I am trying to enable my dhcpd and pxelinux setup to use a specific config file for a booting client. I have read the pxelinux page for this (http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#special) but still seem to be encountering problems. When running the dhcpd with the '-d' debug option the daemon sees the DHCPDISCOVER from the client and then core dumps. On the client side the DHCPDISCOVER

Hi all, A number of people have posted to the Xen lists recently wanting to network-boot Xen on machines whose NICs are not supported by GRUB. I''ve been writing a module for PXELINUX that will allow it to boot Xen directly over the network on PXE-enabled machines, without relying on any hacks (mbootpack, &c.), or needing to write/port any device drivers. I have a version of it

Hello I just tested my pxelinux installation with 5.00-pre6. For the installation I did first the same steps as I did with 4.05. I copied the following files out of the archive into my /tftpboot folder: syslinux-5.00-pre6/core/pxelinux.0 syslinux-5.00-pre6/com32/menu/menu.c32 syslinux-5.00-pre6/memdisk/memdisk With only this files, it was not working and I also had to copy this two

I am trying to update a computer from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6. My plan is to do this using PXE and a kickstart file. I am implementing the use of an FTP and DHCP server. The computers I am updating are diskless workstations, meaning they have no hard drives and they boot off of the network. I have configured my dhcp.conf file, my ks.cfg (kickstart file), my tftp server and so on, but

Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new TCP stack. > >>

Hello Everyone, In short, I have the following questions: Is there a known problem with PXE booting and LinuxBIOS? Will pxelinux.0 not work with a serial console? Is there a way to convert pxelinux.0 into an ELF file? The Long Version: I am working on installing Rocks Cluter distribution on a LinuxNetworx cluster. The hardware was donated to my college, and the CS

Hello, I have not been able to get the IPAPPEND option to successfully set the ip parameters for a pxelinux install.
