I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?) SYSLINUX (isolinux) 2.00 ----8<------8<---- SERIAL 0 38400 TIMEOUT

Dear friends, In accordance with RFC 3942 I would like to submit the following DHCP options for official consideration. These options are used by PXELINUX, which is part of the SYSLINUX distribution, and although exact usage count is impossible to determine, is widely held to be the most widely used method for booting Linux from a network. ---------- Option 208: pxelinux.magic (string)

Hi, We are using pxelinux at my company to test our product. And there are limitations that we have hit in the past w.r.t. the max length of a path, or the max length of a module name (in mboot.c / mboot.c32). We've used workarounds in the past, and reorganized the directory structure, but we face that problem again. Out of the 128 / FILENAME_MAX chars that can be used, 110 - 120 go to the

With my recent work on UI/DEFAULT, I've been hunting around in the core code to find any other locations that this new usage would be useful. As a result, I've come up with a few questions. 1) core/com32.inc: not_com32r jumps to enter_command. Should it do something based on ONERROR? 2) core/comboot.inc: comboot_bogus_tail and comboot_too_large go to enter_command. Again, use ONERROR?

On machines with 2GB RAM, pxelinux doesn't seem to work for me. With Intel PXE, I had to limit the memory available to PXE to 768MB RAM. Has anyone tried pxelinux on machines with >= 1GB RAM? How do I limit memory to 768MB for pxelinux? H.J.

Parse the TIMEOUT keyword from the config file and pass it to gfxboot core.

I tried to replace display_labels asm code (ui.inc) with new C code (pm_display_labels), but the data i access in command_line doesn't seem to be always up to date.

Hi, I have searched the question which I am asking.But if some one has mentioned on their blog or link some where they have mentioned as how they installed CentOS as DomU on Debian Lenny (dom0)running xen-3.2.1 and I should have a look Then please share it here. -- Tapas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, Recently I`ve run into weird bug, which may be reproduced in following way: - start qemu virtual machine configured with direct boot and kernel args like 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400n8', connect to serial console, disconnect and then shutdown vm - try to start vm again, machine hangs on booting kernel until I press any key into 'virsh console' session - after first power

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

Greetings all, Sorry, resending this with the attachment inline. First of all, a disclaimer: Please forgive my horrible assembly code. This is just a quick munging of code to achieve x86 versus x86_64 detection within pxelinux. So please look at it as a proof of concept and not a real piece of code. :) For example it only works on pxelinux and has no thought for extending it beyond simple x86

I just installed Centos 5.5 with the xen kernel on an older machine. It has Xeon processors and a 700 Mhz processor speed, so I realize I must use para-virtualized guests. Reading the Centos/RH Virtualization Guide gives examples of the process of installing guest hosts, but it only lists installing Windows as a fully-virtualized host. Is that because they only showed those types of examples

Hi, I just pushed out changes that fix pretty much all the compiler build warnings on the elflink branch. Also, I've added "auto extension" support so that if the user doesn't type the file name extension it will automatically be looked up, e.g. now typing "ls" will execute "ls.c32".

Hi, I just replaced the pxelinux.0 of some 2.x version by pxelinux.0 vers. 3.0.7. Some of the PXE Clients refused to boot thereafter (just stopped after reading the config file). I noticed that the APPEND line was too long. Is this intentional? What is the maximum length of the APPEND option line? Thanks, Thomas
