similar to: any way to get pxelinux to grab its config file from another host?

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 everyone I am experiencing problems with PXELinux/gPXE when netbooting using HTTP. The problems I encounter: - When the intel bootROM is sending out a DHCPDISCOVER it might not recieve an IP address, but the server did send out a OFFER. Capturing packets reveals the packets have been sent, and the client _should_ have recieved it. But when it passes that stage: - When the gPXE bootROM is

Hello, I am trying to get the latest wine (Wine 20030219, fake windows) working with the GordianKnot (0.27). Unfortunately, Virtual Dub is not be able to compress a avs-file with the DivX-codec. It crashes if trying to. Also, it would be nice to compress an mpeg-source with Xvid but also it crashes. BTW, VirtualDub does not list it in its codecs window ?f "msvfw32" is set to

Hi All, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've managed to get pxelinux to load gpxe and then manually load linux by using the gpxe command line and HTTP for the kernel and initial ram disk. My question is whether it is possible to somehow pass gpxe commands through some mechanism other than the DHCP filename response. Since I don't have control over our DHCP infrastructure, but do

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

Hi, I'm investigating using LTSP for thin clients at my place of work, and I've encountered a problem that I don't know how to approach. I don't know if the problem is with gPXE, PXELinux, or the LTSP kernel, but I think PXELinux is probably the right level to investigate it. My situation is as follows: I've installed the LTSP system from Ubuntu Gutsy. I've tested it

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

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

I was able to solve the problem with the following configuration: label custom1 MENU custom1 kernel pxechain.com append ::custom1/pxelinux.0 label custom2 MENU custom2 kernel pxechain.com append ::custom2/pxelinux.0 configdir1/pxelinux.cfg/default configdir2/pxelinux.cfg/default Then I dropped the custom pxelinux.0 files in their respective directories, confgdir1 and configdir2.

Hi, I''ve configured a rails application on my VPS to run on two mongrels. When I run curl on localhost, the starting page comes up fine. That is, mongrel is serving the app perfectly. The problem arises when trying to access the app on my ip through apache. I get a 403 error. Just to test things out, I''ve set generous permissions on the entire rails directory structure

This is worth forwarding to SYSLINUX.

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

Hi Trying to set up a one way trust between a 2008 Active Directory domain and a Samba 3.5.9 server which is configured as a PDC. There is already an existing trust between AD and an NT4 domain so AD has been configured to support NTLM authentication (see below for full details). With no domain trust, using smbclient either anonymously or with a valid user on the DC (e.g. Administrator)

I am using gPXE 1.0.0 to boot PXELINUX 3.86 over HTTP without problems, but when I switch pxelinux.0 3.86 with 4.00-pre47, I get ?Unable to locate configuration file?. Is HTTP booting not working with 4.00, or is some special compile/settings needed?

Hi, I'm in the position that a network console would occasionally be very useful for me to control pxelinux. Has the possibility of adding it (next to VGA and serial) been ever discussed? I understand that it may sound somewhat contorted, but it could also serve instead of a TFTP PUT for extracting hardware info, for example... How hard would it be to add (considering gPXE as well)? --

Hi, This is the first time I use syslinux mailing list, so I am sorry if I have made any mistake. Well, I follow this post : http://www.linuxbyexamples.net/2012/08/boot-winxp-from-http-server.html and I can successfully boot into winxp using gpxelinux.0 loading vhd image through http. This works well. But when the vhd image getting bigger than 512MB (I added some more files into the image),

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

Hey, It is some real awesome work you are doing. Thanks. I have been trying to use gpxe - pxelinux to boot Linux from a remote location. It works with pxelinux 2.02 and lower. However pxelinux 2.03 and higher return errors and booting is incomplete. Why? syslinux-3.00 gives the following dump and hence the system does not boot.
