similar to: Network booting FreeBSD with gpxelinx almost works

We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg like this: default freebsd

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

We have been using rsync for some time with Linux and FreeBSD, but are just now trying to make it work with Windows. Not as easy as we hoped. I am running the cwrsync client 3.0.6 on a new Windows 7 machine to a FreeBSD 8.1 server. I have an exclude-from filelist, which does seem to successfully exclude the directories given by many of its entries, including these two lines: Documents/My[

We have one brand new HP EPC-43 which can see all the Windows boxes, but not the Samba shares on the Unix server. We have many other Windows machines of all vintages including 95, 98, 98se, NT, 2000, ME and XP which can see each other and the Samba server. The HP runs XP, but we have other XP boxes which have no difficulty with Samba. We have a simple network with no domain controller, just

We have two FreeBSD 8.0 Samba (3.3.9) servers running with identical smb.conf files, except for the workgroup and netbios parameters. Both serve files flawlessly, but only the first is normally visible to browsing by XP and Win7 clients. Interestingly, if we reboot the first server, then the invisible (second) server becomes visible for several minutes, but then disappears again and is no

We reently upgraded our rsync client from Freebsd 10.2 to 11.2 which upgraded our rsync from 3.0.6 protocol version 30 to 3.1.3 protocol version 31. The server remains Freebsd 11.1 with rsync 3.1.2 protocol version 31. Now we get numerous messages like this: rsync: readlink_stat("/disk/homedirs/nber/bstevens/public_html/old/test/press reaction/Foreign

Best all, When i try to boot pxeboot.n12 it will not be loaded.I can see in the logfiles that is been downloaded but isn't executed by gpxelinux.0if is use pxelinux(wich starts from usb and then loads gpxelinux from the tftp server) then it will boot just fine. Hope that you can help me. I have been searching google for hours without a solution. thanks in advance. T.Geerts

Hi, folks, We've been using pxeboot to pull up a menu, to build or rebuild machines for years. We have this new server, and it fails. Times out. What's happening is that it tries in this order .../pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d .../pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A8025B .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A8025 .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A802

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 Peter et al, Just wanted to let you know my heartfelt appretiation of what you and the other devs have done in integrating gpxe and pxelinux... it works wonderfully well for me... I simply swapped my pxelinux.0 for my gpxelinux.0 and modified my pxelinux.cfg/default to use urls to refer to the kernel and initial ram disk images and it worked perfectly (dns resolution and all). This is a huge

Digging into this, as we rework it, here's a question: assuming the system being pxebooted is server 1, and the tftp server is server 2, on server 2, in the menu for pxeboot, is there any way to specify that the image to boot, and the initrd, are on a server 3? That is, MENU repoboot KERNEL repo://my/repo/images/vmlinuz APPEND repo://my/repo/images/initrd.img (or an IP address, like

All (and hpa in particular), I know that the question in the subject line of this message may come across as a bit silly, given that PXElinux is not a DHCP server, but hear me out... Those of you who have been working on PXE-booting Windows PE instances or the new Windows installer images that make use of the Windows Boot Manager and ".wim" files may have come across the general

I've spent a lot more time with this today, trying to get this working with 4.07, 5.01, and 5.10 ... no luck, but I did have a few follow-up questions. (1) Should it be possible to use the newer (e.g. 5.10) version of syslinux and use http:// URLs for both the initial vmlinuz image and also the initrd? -- As I was doing before with gpxelinux.0? A naive attempt to use lpxelinux.0 on our

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

Thanks for your email. Yes it does provide some insight into why I could hack a Linux DHCP server into providing enough PXE boot information for PXE 3 clients but PXE 2.1 were happy (ROMs under many circumstances need to use proxy dhcp 4011 - as documented by IBM on the link I shared earlier). It appears only the most latest Dell business systems have EFI 64 support, and the best you can expect

As I had noted in the past gpxelinux.0 fails (on most of my machines) at localboot 0 where as pxelinux.0 works with localboot 0 (on all of my machines) I needed to do local boot by default (not first hard drive but local boot where it ends pxe booting and looks at the next device) I also had a few iso images that took too long while downloading from tftp and I wanted to use gpxelinux.0 with its

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
