Hello all, I'm thinking about wrapping up a 3.70 release, even though gpxelinux.0 is technically not feature-complete. I'd like people's opinion on it. -hpa

Hello, This is my first post to this list. After searching through the archives and google searches I could not find a solution for my memtest problem. In previous versions of pxelinux/gpxelinux (4.04 and 4.06) I could successfully start the memtest utility. But using pxelinux/gpxelinux versions 5.01 and 5.02 the memtest utility does not boot and I get an error message: boot: Loading

Hello, I'm playing with gpxelinux, it's works but ... In my dhcpd.conf I have the traditional: option space gpxelinux; option gpxelinux-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxelinux; option gpxelinux.bus-id code 177 = string; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { host essai { hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55; fixed-address 192.168.0.62; if not exist

Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, but I would appreciate a pointer. I have tried to rtfm, but find the docs a little sparse wrt pxechain.comand gpxelinux.0. I am trying to setup a pxe chain server (aka chainloading?) where one of the entries on one pxe server forwards to another (cobbler, in this case). I know this works fine with traditional pxelinux.0 images, but it's

I have produced a first cut of integrating gPXE with PXELINUX. This builds, in addition to the usual pxelinux.0, an image called gpxelinux.0 which includes the gPXE network stack. The result is that one can now download images via (almost) any network protocol supported by gPXE, including http. This lets one do fun things like using a CGI or PHP script for the configuration file. SAN

Hi, ?I happily use gpxelinux.0 in subnets where nic-embedded pxe stack can load it from a tftp server pointed by the dhcp daemon. Now I'd like to know the best way to run gpxelinux.0 in a special subnets, where no tftp trafic is allowed, http is served through a reverse proxy, and dhcp is ok. I tried "gpxe on local media (rom/iso/floppy/usb) -> gpxelinux.0" with limited success

I have a situation very similar to whats in http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-January/019251.html The server is setup to provide info over dhcp+tftp and I'm planning on chaning that to dhcp+http so I copied gpxelinux.0 to pxelinux.0 and started failing. The client (in my case it's a hp proliant BL460c G7) manage to get gpxelinux.0 loaded but when it comes to load the config file it

Hello. We are using gpxelinux from SYSLINUX 4.02. We recently purchased some HP Proliant BL460c G6 servers with Broadcom BCM 57711 10Gbit NICS. We have a very simple pxelinux.gpxe script compiled into gpxelinux.0: #!gpxe set use-cached 1 dhcp net0 chain http://webserver/gpxe/gpxe.php?IP=${net0/ip} The PHP script dynamically creates a config file that looks something like this: #!gpxe set

I'm using syslinux 4.04 with dynamically generated menus configuration based on info found in various web pages. I'm doing my testing using a vCetner 4.10 Vmware virtual machine. This works some of the time, but not always. I just copied the prebuilt modules from the syslinux 4.04 distribution for gpxelinx.0, menu.c32, reboot.c32, and pxelinux.0 When I boot a machine dhcpd says to boot

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

Hello All. Yesterday I?m trying another ways but without luck. Issue still exist ? Please help. Is it possible to rewrite DHCP setting for sanboot.c32 after gpxelinux.0 load? Will be nice to have this possibility because: 1. DHCP can be ?black box?. 2. DHCP admin not available. 3. PXE server rewrite dhcp setting. I cannot boot from cdrom after pxe(gpxelinux.0) ? please help. LABEL Windows 7

You're all back! (yippie!). Now I can ask the question that's been nagging at me over the past month... Is booting gpxelinux.0, under QEMU, which provides it's own GPXE capable boot rom supposed to work? Or, is it a redundant (the GPXE boot room already provides the functionality of gpxelinux.0) and suicidally dumb thing to do? I've found some references to other people

I have a working pxelinux environment. I point the "boot server" (windows dhcp) to my tftp server and "Bootfile name" to pxelinux. How would I invoke the chain loader over iscsi? I was reading the following page and wondering if I could use gpxelinux to boot this? http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/dverkamp/notes/windows_xp_iscsi I saw examples of san boot here

Hi, I found this message in your online mail archive, i have found the same problem and did some research in the past on this. Maybe you would be interested to know it is a problem on any virtualisation product not just ESX. Second it is a problem in gPXE that you embedded in gPXElinux. The problem was build in gPXE after version 0.97 so any gPXElinux build a newer version has this problem. I

Hi, first of all I would like to voice my deep gratitude to all syslinux developers for this really important software. I am using it in all my automation projects and could not manage without. Unfortunately now I stumbled upon a problem where I am out of my wits and need some help. The core problem is that HTTP transfers by gpxelinux.0 are very slow. Sadly this problem seems to be somehow

I have a lab in which I keep all my computers set to try network boot first that way it is easy to put a file in pxelinux.cfg of the mac address of a faulty machine and have it build itself or run diagnostics. Up till recently I used pxelinux.0. I have been trying out gpxelinux so that I can use its http fuctionality to download initrd images faster to boot. I just discovered that its local boot

Hello, In my testing environment I have two VMs on ESXi 5.0. VM A = dhcp/tftp/PXE/http server, running CentOS 6.2. Syslinux 4.04 with the included gpxelinux.0. VM B = PXE boot client. If I run CentOS 6.2 also on the VM B, I can easily transfer 50+ MB/sec over http between the VMs (wget, links). Now, if I PXE boot gpxelinux.0 on the VM B, and start to download bigger initrd image over http the

Hello, I'm trying to boot with a git snapshot using gpxelinux.0 When using 3.73 everything is fine. When using 3.74pre1 and later I've got the following behavior : The boot process is stopped just after displaying this line : PXELINUX 3.74 pre1-7-gb83eb9f Copyright (c) 1994-2008 H.
