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

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

Greetings: I'm hoping PXE linux can help me with my problem... I'm trying to setup a PXE based install server under Linux that can host Linux (SLES9, Slackware) and Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2K3) Install images. I would ideally like to be able to have a PXE compliant host boot, and prompt me to pick an image to boot. Has anyone ever done this before?.. I have ISO images stored on the

Good morning everybody, I'm pretty new to syslinux & tftp-hpa, and so I'm not quite sure where my question belongs to, but I'll try it here first. I want to enhance the network services by offering a LTSP (just for the case the pc or laptop doesn't work for some reasons). And so, for testing, I added a second linux-based system (lets call it system-b). Currently the tftpd

Dear Sir, I am using PXES for booting diskless computer to win2k, and/or LTSP servers. The problem is we have many computers in our lab have different computers, so i require different .initrd files for each group of computers. Can i have different /pxelinux.cfg/default files so that i can define different locations for my boot files. Thanks in advance. Limesh Parekh, Enjay Computer

Hi there I came across this problem with PXELINUX over the last couple of days. The computer in question is a Compaq Prosignia 300 Server which I am using as a X Terminal. The Linux kernel only detects 16m of ram in the computer yet it has 80Meg. When you specify the mem option to kernel it seems as if pxelinux isn't putting the initrd image in the correct memory location and thus it

I am trying to acheve pxe booting of a image of barts boot disk (www.nu2.nu). I have managed to get LTSP booting via pxelinux, so I know my dhcp/tftp servers are ok. However when I try to boot memdisk with either a stock suselinux boot image file (taken from SuSE 9.1) or my dos disk (created by dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/imagefile) I get output like MEMDISK 2.08 command line : BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk

Hi, ipconfig is used in ltsp (thin clients) initramfs. Some of the users have to have 2 dhcp servers in ltsp environments, so they hit on this problem: The first dhcp request is from the pxe rom boot code. This code ignores any dhcp offers that don't have a filename field. So they always get the correct address, from the ltsp server. The second dhcp request (in initramfs) is done by

Sorry about the lengthy post - I'm putting as much in here as I can in hopes that someone can help me ferret out the problem. Basic problem is that domain users can't successfully log into the linux box. I'm trying to set this box up as an ltsp server authenticating against our existing AD (although this is actually in a test lab - I didn't really want to trash anything real

Hi there, we are using a couple of Diskless Linux Workstations in conjunction with PXE capabable Network cards to boot the system. This works fine using pxelinux. However, there are a few workstations left, which are not able to boot via PXE and thus this workstations need a Kernel on a floppy disk and an additional initrd image. The Problem with is, that both of them don't fit on a floppy

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

i have a lot of questions, maybe you've got some answers. I've got the following setup : 1 central server ( linux ) , 17 servers ( LTSP ) on different locations, where each server has a number of thinclients connected to it ( max 6 ) The central server / 17 LTSP servers are on the internet and share 1 VPN ( freeswan ). It would be nice if the 17 LTSP servers could use asterix on one

Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new TCP stack. > >>

Hello all, I have a customer that insists of using upstream vendor's diskless (system-config-netboot) rather than LTSP. The reason is that he wants to use a 100% packages from the vendor, not from LTSP or any other party. I try the vendor's diskless system, and although it's very simple to setup, it lacks the support and/or documentation whereas LTSP is very good in it. Another

According to the Changelog for 5.01, pxelinux.0 can load boot files via http. But I can't get it to work. Specifying http as my boot path, just gives me an invalid file or directory error. ie: KERNEL http://10.48.128.56/rhel-server/rhel-server-6.4-x86_64/vmlinuz If I do a wget on the http path, I can get vmlinuz just fine. What am I doing wrong? I also tried copying lpxelinux.0 over

I am trying to update a computer from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6. My plan is to do this using PXE and a kickstart file. I am implementing the use of an FTP and DHCP server. The computers I am updating are diskless workstations, meaning they have no hard drives and they boot off of the network. I have configured my dhcp.conf file, my ks.cfg (kickstart file), my tftp server and so on, but

I have recently started to learn about doing remote booting and have seen your PXELinux product. I primarily use Debian and have obtained the syslinux package v2.00. I am having trouble getting my DHCPD and tftpd servers to work. At this time, I am only testing one client, but will want to be able to boot many different clients. I need to know how to setup DHCPD to boot any PXE clients (is
