Hey I would be happy to maintain such a thing but I would need someone as a backup.

Could we just activate FTP on gpxe ? I did a trivial patch for enabling it on top of 3.72-pre1.

I have an issue to boot iPXE with Syslinux 5.01. However, the same method works for Syslinux 4.06. The error messages I got is (see attached png file): =================================== iPXE 1.0.0+git-20120202.f8840ba-3 -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org Features: VLAN HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE SRP BzImage COMBOOT ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT /syslinux/ipxe.lkn: command not found

For me the motivation for gpxelinux.0 was the HTTP support. If this would work reliably in newer versions then I could happily live without a iPXE-based pxelinux.

I noticed this mentionned in the archives but the issue was never resolved. Evidently performing smbclient tar restores is excruciatingly slow. I noticed this while trying to restore my amanda backups to a w95 machine over samba - well over 24 hours for 850 MB. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there anything I can tweak or change to fix this? Restores at this speed make my

Hi, We currently use pxelinux and tftp-hpa for pxe booting new machines and installing our OS of choice. This has worked great for the past year, and just about every HP laptop we've tried so far has worked flawlessy, until now...? We recently bought a bunch of HP ProBook 6570b laptops but couldn't get them to work with our pxelinux setup. What we see is that the 6570b stops at the

This makes is_gpxe() recognize gPXE's COMBOOT implementation as gPXE. Previously, is_gpxe() only recognized PXELINUX loaded from gPXE.

I have been looking at the etherboot site and at the syslinux/pxelinx sites trying to figure out how to use gpxe, and I am a bit confused. :) In a nutshell, I simply want to use http to grab the config and messages files. (I need those files to be dynamic.) I tried just replacing pxelinux.o with gpxelinux.0. But, gpxe complains (A LOT) about unrecognized commands. I can't find a simple

I saw Geoff Lywood's patch to check gPXE functionnality, it is very interesting. Would it make sense to make add the gPXE availability flag inside the Lua interpreter? In my case, I would use it to detect if I can boot Windows PE the old-fashioned way by tftp or if I can download an ISO by http and boot it with memdisk. -- Alexandre Blanchette <blanalex at gmail.com>

I'm bringing back an old thread, but I'm still having problem with this: http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-March/000571.html The summary of that thread is that with gpxelinux.0, on some computers the command LOCALBOOT 0 will hang the computer. Around the same time as the original thread, there was a patch to add localboot -1. Also in the original thread, it was proposed to use

Hi Folks, I'm trying to auto-create a VM using a kickstart server and gPXE with my VMs. The underlying physical host is CentOS 6.0 running libvirt-0.8.1-27, and libvirt-python 0.8.1-27, virt-manager 0.8.4-8. The underlying network config on the physical host is: # ip -o -4 addr show 1: lo inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 6: vnet0 inet 10.8.31.61/23 brd 10.8.31.255 scope global vnet0 7:

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. Loading Linux...........................................Ready.

Hi All, I''m researching boot diskless over iSCSI . I want to add gpxe and dhcpd to EON . Could you help me ? Thanks and Regards Tien Doan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I'm compiling syslinux 3.72 as part of a buildroot project and found that the compile fails due to gPXE using printf in a way that throws warnings, while specifying "-Wall -Werror" in the makefile. I'm not sure if this problem is related to the environment I'm compiling in or if it is actually a bug, however the attached patch resolves it for me. -- Regards Nick

Hey *, When using gPXE as a second stage loader, the computer will complete this procedure: POST/BIOS, PXE (DHCP+TFTP) -> Download gPXE ROM, Execute ROM, Do a second DHCP request, Download images with HTTP, I was wondering if PXELinux/gPXE can give the gPXE-ROM some parameters like a static IP based on the IP they got the first time, so it does not have to do the second DHCP request. I am

Hi, it seems exit and localboot are not taken as commands but tryed to load as image from the pxe server (at least from command prompt) are these still commands or are the docus outdated? I would like to continue with localboot but only chain works up to now ...

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

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
