similar to: Problem with PXE, menu, and ipappend

Just spent a few hours going mad(der) wondering why my menu config wasn't working. It looks like the change in 3.74 ("Add IPAPPEND to com32 modules, especially needed for linux.c32") breaks menu.c32 (and possibly other modules) since they aren't expecting it. In particular menu.c32 uses that as an optional menu file, it then complains "Initial menu has no LABEL

core and the simple menu do not interpret the IPAPPEND/SYSAPPEND directives in the same way. Which is the proper way? Either way, this should be clarified in the documentation. com32/elflink/ldlinux/readconfig.c: } else if ((ep = looking_at(p, "ipappend")) || (ep = looking_at(p, "sysappend"))) { uint32_t s = strtoul(skipspace(ep), NULL,

The following changes since commit 4ff8fcac8e7b5046987dee15592ab510ab343aa8: Matt Fleming (1): Merge branch 'menu-ipappend-1-for-mfleming' of git://github.com/geneC/syslinux into elflink are available in the git repository at: git://github.com/geneC/syslinux.git ipappend-fix-for-mfleming Gene Cumm (2): core & menu: fix IPAPPEND/SYSAPPEND conversion doc/ &

does the IPAPPEND option still exist? If so I want clearification on it please. Out of the syslinux documentation it says the following. The flag_val is an OR of the following options: 1: indicates that an option of the following format should be generated and added to the kernel command line: ip=client-ip:boot-server-ip:gw-ip:netmask ... based on the input from the DHCP/BOOTP or PXE boot

Im trying to use newer simple-menu features, and have found that the following config-file (closely based on wiki pxelinux example) - fails for 3.62-pre11, - works for 3.62-pre10 where 'working' is successive reloads such that re-edits of file are seen on next reload and broken is issuing this error: Initial menu has no LABEL entries! boot: #>

I'm using ipappend and getargs.com with a dos boot image to get the environment variables for the IP and MAC. The format of the %ip% environment variable is ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask> Is there a way to tell ipappend to assign these to individual arguments. Or does anyone know a good way to parse each of these to individual variables in dos. What

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs . I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel argument appended with BOOTIF : here is what i use : LABEL solaris MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND multiboot kernel/unix

Hello Shao, Thank you for your hint. I saw this one already earlier but I wanted to avoid it for two reasons: - One of my images uses a CPIO INITRD which I found rather complicated editing (like I wrote I'm quite new to all that Linux stuff). - For each new release I will need to do the changes to the prebuilt images again. I'm not the one who creates the images. I'm downloading

Is there a way to use IPAPPEND 1 on the pxelinux command line. I want to be able to pass the whole command line in my menu files and not use the config file. Thanks Aaron

Hello, I have not been able to get the IPAPPEND option to successfully set the ip parameters for a pxelinux install. I have LABEL install KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/tftpboot.img APPEND initrd=pxelinux.cfg/initrdfs.gz root=/dev/ram IPAPPEND 1 where tftpboot.img is either of http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/ idepci/tftpboot.img

Hi all :) that's my first post, he =) I need some help about having the IPAPPEND 3 in my freedos (odin) environnement after a PXE boot using PXELinux / Memdisk... i've been searching for few hours now, but didn't found anything.. Is there a way to get that done ? Thanks in advance J?r?mie 'ahFeel' BORDIER

Hello While testing PXE booting, I decided to change IPAPPEND to the new SYSAPPEND and does not work: nothing is appended to command line.

Hi guys, I have been fighting with Syslinux and PXElinux for two days now. I have gotten the floppy to boot but can't get pxelinux to work. I get a message: No !PXE or PXENV+ API fournd; we're dead I am guessing this means I need something else on the floppy? The floppy has: # ls /floppy/ total 24K -r-xr-xr-x 1 9.4K Nov 2 16:31 ldlinux.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 14K Nov 2 16:50

The following is a pxelinux problem, specifically to do with including config files with the menu include directive and the ifcpu64.c32 com module. I have a working ifcpu64.c32 setup that jumps to the label rescue64 in the case of a 64-bit CPU. The label "rescue64" defines a 64-bit kernel and a 64-bit initrd.img. The setup jumps to a label named "rescue32" in the case of a
