Looks like I can't install syslinux's bootloader on an ntfs partition? What I'd like to do is remotely setup a bootloader to wipe the hard drive contents on old assets. I was kind of hoping, that I could install syslinux on a remote workstation, and then throw a dban image and the corresponding menu and syslinux.cfg files on the remote workstation and then reboot it and have the

I am having the darnedest of times trying to get my WinPE to work off the syslinux loader. I used to use isolinux, and my isolinux config would just invoke the etfsboot.com file which i had renamed to loader.bin, and everything would work just fine off a cd. But now I'm trying to transfer all of my cd functionality to thumbdrives. With Syslinux, i have my syslinux.cfg file calling loader.bin

I will really hate myself if this has already been solved, i searched the archives but didn't really find anything pertaining to it. I have a 2.88mb dos boot floppy image, with ghost.exe, dos nic drivers, and dos system files. It works fine when burnt to a cd. As for the thumbdrive when trying to configure this hpghost.ima file to run from my syslinux.cfg menu, it works and boots up fine but

As it happens, I released a new version of wimboot with support for UEFI yesterday. The

I can't seem to pick up on how to enter the path in the SYSLINUX.cfg file, here is what I have tried: label 3esx86 kernel 3esx86/vmlinuz append initrd=3esx86/initrd.img also tried label 3esx86 kernel /3esx86/vmlinuz append initrd=/3esx86/initrd.img but I get errors like "cannot find kernel 3esx86.vm " or similar. I am booting from a thumbdrive and it works fine if I

Hi guys, We are using syslinux (memdisk) and gpxe already for a while. Also got a working winpe boot method by means of pxe. Which basicly is a dd of an 'recovery partition' where winpe.wim is on. That method isn't really the most efficient way, cause its loaded into memory twice. We are going to do a major windows 7 deployment soon and i'm looking for the most efficient way of

Anyone have luck with pxechn32 and bootmgfw.efi? I'm getting the "Unable to retrieve first package" issue as reported by others. Really, any advice for UEFI booting into a winpe environment off of pxelinux 6.03 would be beneficial.

This got me closer, but it got to "Encapsulating winpe.wim..." and never went through the rest of the way. Ultimately PXELINUX apparently timed out and the machine rebooted.

Hello, FYI. This problem looks similar to the problem I reported in Februari http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-February/019517.html Kind regards, Wim.

Hi list, I have installed DHCP, PXE and the TFTP-Server tftp-hpa. I'm running Debian Woody on my server and I want to boot a PXE-Client with this server. I have installed all as it is described in the docs found on the net. Under root: /tftpboot/ /tftpboot/X86PC/linux /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/messages /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/linux.0 /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/vmlinuz

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

I understand this isn't supported, but I was curious will it ever be, and also I use a hard drive wiping utility not dban and when i boot off my usb stick and wipe the hard drive it wipes the usb stick :( Matt

Hi: First - pxelinux works great - got it up and running with few problems. However - I ran into a snag, I am assuming I have a configuration issue. Here are the details. Using: syslinux-1.75 dhcp-3.0pl1 tftp-hpa-0.29 A lot of what I have done is from: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/diskless dhcpd.conf: # DHCP configuration file for DHCP ISC 3.0 ddns-update-style

Gene, As it happened I started working on this again just as you mailed me. It appears that PXE-E99 may also be related to MTFTP part of the PXE spec. IBM also says it has something to do with jumbo frames. I tried setting PXE.mtcp-ip to 0.0.0.0 to disable it but still no joy. The bootfile size shows up as zero because that relates to "option boot-size" in dhcp and doesn't seem to

I was just looking at the CentOS Wiki at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup, and it's pretty seriously out of date. It neglects the existence of the "syslinux-tftpboot" RPM, and the hand editing of xinetd config files for tftpd ignores the availability of "chkconfig" and "service" to manage that service. For more sophisticated users, it doesn't

Hi. I have looked at PXElinux<http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX> to understand all this, but I'm very sorry I don't. I have managed to setup to boot from PXELinux, but I'm not an expert on how to setup a menu file for making a windows unattended installation. Could someone help me with that? Is there some kind of a forum for this or is it just by email?

HI There, Firstly a bit about me. I am a bit of an old school PXE user from the Kingdom of Gates. I have also spent years in the Linux playground. While I have never been a programmer I am fairly competent in scripting languages, both on windows and Linux. My occupation is "System Builder" I build operating System images and discs (not the OS itself). So I actually customize OS's.

Hiya, Just joined the list and started using pxelinux. Very cool product!!! I searched the, 8+ MB, archives looking for multicast entries. I know that the pxelinux page says that the support of mtftp in pxelinux isn't in the works but I'm not sure how old/relavant that comment is. I have noticied some comments from H.P.A. describing the difficulties in doing MTFTP. Are there any plans to
