similar to: [gPXE] localboot 0 hang on some machines with gpxelinux.0

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 successfully encapsulated option 210 inside 43 with Microsoft DHCP servers. I followed the template in the PXELINUX documentation, at the "using vendor options, handcrafted" heading.

Correction: Ctrl-J Bypasses labels and tries to load file So at the prompt if one inputs foo<Ctrl-J>, pxelinux looks for a file in the following order: foo.c32 foo.img foo.bss foo.bin foo.bs foo.0 foo On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 2:12 PM, Alexandre Blanchette <blanalex at gmail.com>wrote: > On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 2:50 AM, Ferenc Wagner <wferi at niif.hu> wrote: >

On a Gigabit LAN, you should get the full 1000Mbps speed

A small how-to for encapsulating option 210 inside option 43 on Windows DHCP servers would be welcome then :-) And as far as UEFI x86 system go, one would simply have to create another vendor class with the value PXEClient:Arch:00006 On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 12:05 AM, Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 8:52 PM, Alexandre Blanchette > <blanalex at

You're all back! (yippie!). Now I can ask the question that's been nagging at me over the past month... Is booting gpxelinux.0, under QEMU, which provides it's own GPXE capable boot rom supposed to work? Or, is it a redundant (the GPXE boot room already provides the functionality of gpxelinux.0) and suicidally dumb thing to do? I've found some references to other people

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but tryed to load as image from the pxe server (at least from command prompt) are these still commands or are the docus outdated?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 ...

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

I am attempting to setup a test gpxe(linux.0) http site, to test among other things the recent dynamic option 252 solution. In the process of investigation I stumbled across http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/authmenus which indicates the gpxe can launch vesamenu.c32 directly. Various other pages on etherboot's site indicate menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 can be used independently as well.

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

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
