I think I finally have nailed down the problems with TFTP on the 4.10 branch, and so I have released 4.10-pre20. Please let me know if you have hardware on which 4.05/4.06-pre3 works, and 4.10-pre20 does not. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel.

Hi, I am a happy user of version 4.06 and have been hoping to upgrade the 5.x series (for the HTTP bits). I have the following problems with the 5.11-pre7 build: 1. TFTP load is horribly slow ... even when the two REAL machines are connected to the same switch. For a typical RHEL installation, the vmlinuz loads ... the initrd.img loads very very slowly and just times out (I waited over 10 mins)

Hi all, Based on the commitdiff comments, this looks like what I (and many many others) have been plagued with. Machines typically affected: DELL PowerEdge 2950, R720, R810, etc. (server class) DELL PowerEdge 960 (desktop class) Eagerly awaiting the next pre-release to test this out! : thumbs up : : thumbs up : Regards, Shantanu

Hi, I have been using 6.03-pre11 lpxelinux.0 to deliver standard (TFTP) and HTTP based vmlinuz and kernel images. Things are working fine. When I upgraded the same to 6.03-pre12 it stopped working.

Yep, I very sure. I compiled 6.02-pre6 again (made sure, that I really copy the files from 6.02-pre6 to the tftp-host) and this isn't working. Now menu will appear. I re-compiled 6.02-pre5 again

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 all, I too am getting positive results using 6.03-pre19 lpxelinux.0, for the problem that I have been facing. The symptom was that booting hangs on client side. On the server (DNSMasq TFTP) it keeps getting a request for the same (MAC address) file. OR, alternatively it just stops completely. My server: OptiPlex 755. BIOS A22 The PXE booting client: OptiPlex 960. BIOS A17 * Things are

Hello, The attached patch adds bzip2 and lzma/xz libs to stubdom for pvgrub. This is the first step of getting the additional compression methods supported in pvgrub. There''s still some Makefile voodoo to sort out before pvgrub actually properly gets linked against these new libs. This patch only adds the libs and makes them build. -- Pasi
