Hello. I want to make ESXi on LUKS encrypted partition. ESXi uses Mboot.c32. Can the Mboot.c32 work with luks-encrypted? If it is possible, where i can see an example? Thank you!

Hi, I have had a VMware ESXi network boot setup for quite some time now. After upgrading from 4.06 to 5.01 (or 5.10-pre3) the network boot fails with the following error: --- snip --- Failed to load COM32 file esxi/5.1.0/mboot.c32 boot: --- snip --- This error is seen for the ESXi bootup only. The default mboot.c32 from syslinux itself doesn't work and this setup has been working with

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this

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

Under EFI/BOOT are the following files: BOOTIA32.EFI (from efi32/efi/syslinux.efi) BOOTX64.EFI (from efi64/efi/syslinux.efi) ldlinux.sys (copied from root of partition) lua.c32 mboot.c32 menu.c32 syslinux.cfg vesamenu.c32 KS.CFG (vmware specific) BOOT.CFG (vmware specific) autoselect.lua These files are also all under the root of the partition (except BOOTIA32.EFI and BOOTX64.EFI) and work fine

Hi all, I've started writing a new mboot.c32 using the Syslinux native APIs; it is currently on the new-mboot branch of the Syslinux git repository. However, I don't have a huge number of things which use Multiboot set up to test, so I'd really appreciate it if you're a user of mboot.c32 to help me try this and report back positive or negative. I don't have the Solaris DHCP

I recognize hardware with Lua and execute the ESXi installer with configuration files for that hardware. This works fine with normal Syslinux boot, but I want to get it working for UEFI boot as well. I found?efi64/efi/syslinux.efi and efi32/efi/syslinux.efi in the installer source, copied them and named them respectively?BOOTX64.EFI and?BOOTIA32.EFI in USBDISK:\EFI\BOOT. These were also the

Hi, I am trying to get xen booted on a new mainboard I bought using efi-syslinux/mboot. No success so far. When I choose the xen menu entry except from some characters being wiped from the bottom of the screen nothing is happening. I have made a typo in the xen kernel filename. Nothing changed, no errors about wrong a filename were displayed Initially I compiled syslinux 6.03 (slackware64,

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.
