similar to: Question regarding PXELINUX

I have 2 groups of machines, and within each group the pxelinux menu configuration is standard. It would be great to have 2 configuration files rather than one for each machine. I found the pxelinux magic option configfile (209) in http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX and it suggests for ISC dhcpd: site-option-space "pxelinux"; option pxelinux.magic

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

Hi Hpa and all I am confused about some function of pxelinux and gpxelinux/gpxe. 1, after I read the document (http://edgyu.excess.org/ols/2008/H%20Peter%20Anvin%20-%20x86%20network%20bo oting%3a%20integrating%20gPXE%20and%20PXELINUX.pdf), I knew there are two major module in standard gPXE, PXE BC and UNDI. And I can understand why I need to produce different boot file for different NIC from

I need to write a custom .c32 module which can send information over to a separated service or tftp deamon. The goal is to send inventory information gathered in pxelinux to be transfered back to the inventory database without booting a kernel or os-image. Is this possible and if so, can you give me a hint how to realise this? Thanks, Daniel

Hi there, i just build a new ipxelinux.0 with an EMBED=../../syslinux-5/core/pxelinux.0. i'm trying to load up my vesamenu.c32 menu from http:. and offcorse i want this as optimal as possible, with the least needed GET requests. OLD situation with v4: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp) -> menu.php (http) -> vesamenu.c32 (http) NEW situation with v5: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp)

Is IPv6 supported by PXELINUX? With the transition to IPv6 occurring already, I'm seeing requests for supporting an IPv6-Based PXEboot and need to know if it's supported or is planned for support.

Hello, on a somewhat recent machine (Dell T1600) I'm unable to use my usual setup (pxelinux as a boatloader also for local OS - typically windows). The BIOS is capable of using UEFI, but this is turned off. Unfortunately all I get is a message telling me that pxelinux is unable to boot from local disk. The config entry looks like this: LABEL local MENU LABEL OS installed on local disk

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

I did 2 zip files containing each: - a working tftp-root with syslinux 3.75 - a not working tftp-root wit syslinux 3.81 They have ben build and tested using the instructions given in my first message. The bug appears starting syslinux 3.81, NOT 3.80 (I tried too many versions) The zip files are available here: http://t.bugier.free.fr/tftp-root--fail.zip

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)

Hey Folks, Sorry if this has been asked before; hard to get a usable search on 'isolinux OR syslinux pxe-boot' with just the info I need! I work in a large organization, and the group which manages the network may not be the guys managing the hosts. I have a network and dhcp server, and pxelinux is working very well on that net. I want to make my net-install resources available to

Hi , Thought I would keep the same topic as a previous post in June - still is a problem with pre49 Setting dhcp options 209 and 210 is breaking gpxe/pxelinux - everything else being the same, it works fine in 3.86 and not 4.00. ..Inserting following into pxelinux.gpxe ... set 209:string pxelinux.cfg/default set 210:string http://xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.uk/pxe/ It is hanging with 'Trying to

I am trying to figure out a way to have a menu item in PXELINUX hand off control to WDS(Windows Deployment services 2008R2). Is this something that can be done with PXELINUX? So what I would like is a way to have PXELINUX and WDS work on the same network with PXELINUX being the main and booting WDS from a menu option in the pxelinux.cfg file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If this is asked before, please point me at the answer, can't find it... With pxelinux 3.8.6 (or, < 5.x), I was able to chain boot pxelinux.0 from ipxe, having set appropriate values for DHCP options 210 and 209 for the remote file path and the config file. This doesn't work with 6.0.3. With 6.0.3, this throws the "failed to load ldconfig.c32" error now. The files are in

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas and perhaps solutions around an error i've been experiencing when using vesamenu.c32 (and the other non-vesa menu too). I have tried three different versions (the latest three) of pxelinux and the other files. The problem exists in all of them. My setup is pretty simple, filename defined in dhcpd, boot up from pxe, starts requesting configs, and
