similar to: IPv6 and PXELINUX

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'm using gpxe to chain to pxelinux on a different host than gpxe was loaded from. The chain command looks like this chain tftp://other-host/pxelinux.0 Unfortunately, pxelinux is ignoring other-host and going back to the original host to look for its files. Is there any way to alter this behavior? Thanks, Mike

The subject says it all. I'm using rocks cluster software to startup a small blade cluster in my lab. The blades I have redboot installed on them. I am able to boot any client that has pxeboot capability using my setup, except for these blades. My thoughs were using redboot commands to do the following: 1. load -v -r -b 0x8000000 -h 10.1.1.1 pxelinux.0 2. start This however caused my

Hi there, i just build a new ipxelinux.0 with an EMBED=../../syslinux-5/core/pxelinux.0. i'm trying to load up my vesamenu.c32 menu from http:. and offcorse i want this as optimal as possible, with the least needed GET requests. OLD situation with v4: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp) -> menu.php (http) -> vesamenu.c32 (http) NEW situation with v5: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp)

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

Hi All, I've been trying to understand how to use pxechn.c32 to chain a local pxelinux menu item to a remote server which has it's own pxelinux hierarchy served via TFTP and HTTP. We have no control over DHCP next-server and filename fields so I wanted to exploit the "prefix" -p option that pxechn.c32 accepts. I spent a long time hitting my head against a brick wall until I

The gPXE in the Syslinux tree is ridiculously old. We could either replace it with iPXE or just drop it, giving people a recipe for how to integrate with iPXE themselves. What do people think? -hpa

Hi, Since which version of pxelinux.0 is understood in pxelinux.cfg/default that kernel http://host.lan/netboot/vmlinuz means vmlinuz should be transported over HTTP? Since which version of pxelinux.0 is it possible to boot on UEFI? Those questions elaborated: What I want is fast netboot UEFI servers. What I'm looking for is an advice which version of PXELINUX between version

Is there anyway to set dynamically set dhcp options when chain loading another pxe boot loader? I'm setting up a pxelinux network install server and one operating system I want to support is freebsd. Freebsd has its own pxe loader called pxeboot that you can use. You just have to boot it from tftp and set the root-path dhcp option (option 17) to the location of your nfs server with the

I am in charge of running a small network that allows users to install Operating Systems from PXE. Our new machines support PXE booting from uEFI. I was wondering if/when PXELINUX will be able to load from uEFI PXE requests? I've successfully booted to elilo from uEFI, but I need to flexibility that PXELINUX has in order to perform efficient installs.

For non-EFI systems, this has meant use HTTP services if available (ie, iPXE/gPXE or lwIP as in

Hello ! I am completely new to syslinux. I followed this instruction manually: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/pxe.html I am on debian and do not have syslinux installed, but using this debian box as a tftp server. I had to modify the instructions given by the installation above. I downloaded the 6.02 version and copied the files to the tftp root. I am using dnsmasq as a tftp

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),

In PXELinux 4.06 (the vanilla version, not gpxelinux.0), I'm trying to use pxechn.c32 to call iPXE (undionly) with option 67 set to call an iPXE script. The relevant portion of my PXELinux config looks like this: LABEL MDT MENU LABEL ^B - MDT 2012 SP1 com32 pxechn.c32 APPEND undionly.kpxe -o 67.s=ipxe/mdt.ipxe However iPXE doesn't seem to get the option correctly, it goes into

Hi, I've been hacking this week-end on a Vortex86[0] based device (ebox 3300) and had quite a few trouble with pxelinux.0 on it. Actually, I narrowed the problem to the `pxenv' routine always returning 1. This lead to an infinite loop while trying to transfer the config file. I'm not sure what the problem is, but the FreeBSD PXE bootloader does work on the same hardware, with the same
