similar to: PXE + memdisk booting problems

Hi community, since more than one week I try now to boot my client via PXE. More informations about my equipment: Client: Board ASUS K8V-X SE Amibios with BIOS Revision 1501 (newest) Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) Server: Tyan Tomcat K7M Board with Eisfair 1.6.1 (www.eisfair.org) With exactly the same hardware unattended boots where working for more than one year perfectly without any

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

So I have a few questions. I have already made the base part of making a windows TFTPD running with memedisk. So that part works, but what I was wondering, if there is a way to some how add an option to the config file. What I have is something like this: label winstall kernel unattended/memdisk append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz That all works great, However, for each image, I have

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

Hi friends, I am new to this list and have some questions about PXE Booting, because its not working well. My Situation: I was preparing my Server like described on http://unattended.sourceforge.net And everything was working well, this means I was able to install Windows XP via PXE onto my clients. But now, I thought, It would be really a great Idea to make my clients able to

I am using memdisk to remotely flash the BIOS and other firmware. It works well for most flash programs. After the flash I need to initialize the NIC to send a signal to my management server that the flash is complete. I am curious as to how others have solved this problem. Thanks.

Hi, Apologies in advance if this is rather long winded ... I have a Windows 2000 DHCP/FTP/TFTP server, serving up a linux-based diags package using PXELinux. Everything is working fine, just like I'd expect. I also have some WinImage images of DOS floppy disks that I'd also like to serve via PXE. So I made up some simple menus using menu.c32 to serve both the floppy image and the

Hello I'm working on my RIS server; I got a problem when I use pxelinux.0 to load setupldr.exe from windows XP 32bits (both home and corporate) Here is how I configure a working server, then how to modify it to reproduce the bug: ========================= I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule

Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix.

Greetings again, I am experiencing a lockup when ghost casting about 1 out of 5 client machines locks up. I don't recall if I was having this issue when I was using 3com pxe menus or not. I was wondering if the issue I am seeing could be caused by pxelinux since it basically is loading a Linux kernel then booting a MSDos.imz file. I cannot find any errors from the ghostcast side or the

Hello, A couple of months back there was this message on the list. http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-October/015459.html I have exactly the same result on just a few types of machines. Acer Tavelmate 8372 and 5742 InsydeH2O Bios v1.05 Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 V 14.0.8 It started after I upgrades pxelinux.0 to version 3.86 Versions tested and got the recursing: 3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.83 On

It appears that the 3.74 completely broke the "keeppxe" directive -- not due to the command-line parser, but due to mishandling of the flag later. I consider this to be severe enough to do a short-cycle 3.75. As a result, I would like help with: a) are there any other bugs that snuck through? b) once I have a 3.75-pre1, I would really appreciate help testing it. The goal is to have

Hello, On a computer with a real serial port do I mis some output. It is 'real serial port' as opposed to virtual hardware. The text that I mis is 'My IP address seems to be' and the decreasing hexadecimal IP-adress staircase. The banner and the copyright message are displayed. pxelinux.cfg/default is fetched and its "SAY command" is shown. Have a look at this

Hey all, I recently updated to syslinux 3.83, I am getting machines rebooting or locking after loading PC DOS. Most notably with Hitachi's Disk Fitness Test (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT) Version 4.16. At first it was a trickle, and now it seems I am having the issue with more hardware. I downgraded to syslinux 3.81, and everything is happy again. The Current

Hello. We've been using a very old version of SYS-/PXELINUX, 3.36, going by the proven "if it works, don't break it" philosophy. We us it mostly to load floppy disk images to kick off OS installations. Unfortunately we've recently had some PXE menu problems (USB keyboard stopped working) for a certain Fujitsu PC model, and decided to upgrade to the latest version, i e 3.84.

I have been using memdisk (version 3.82) with no problem. I use it to boot my x86 computer with a compressed image I created/modified from an original DOS floppy bootable diskette. The original size of the image is 2.44 MB. I tried memdisk (version 3.83) and the bootable image gets uncompressed, bu the computer locks up and the las two lines in my screen are: Loading Boot Sector... Booting...

Good day again Daniel, So the first thing I did was to remove the >NUL for your XMSDSK line and put a PAUSE after it in AUTOEXEC.BAT. That way, I could see the error message: *** XMS RAMdisk v1.9I (FU - 08/98): XMS get free mem error. Then I noticed that if you run AUTOEXEC.BAT manually from the DOS CLI, XMSDSK actually succeeds! So that led to a new test: Duplicate the XMSDSK line. ...

I think the Syslinux 5.00 branch is now at the point where I believe it it is feature complete and should be able to replace the main Syslinux branch. As such, it is important that we get wider testing, and especially that people let us know if and where it breaks. As of right now, there aren't any known bugs...
