similar to: hanging localboot

hpa, etal, pxelinux works great from a push of the reset button. machine boots normally. However, after i issue 'reboot' command, my box fails to find the tftp server during reboot. This looks to be happening before pxelinux has any chance to participate, so it cannot be to blame. Im seeking corroboration here before I go badgering the bios-provider here's the relevant

Hello All, this is my first post so I'll try to be as verbose as possible. We have a PXE deployment server serving mostly fujitsu RX300 rack mount servers with Intel 82575EB Gigabit Ethernet Controllers onboard. I recently upgraded from version 4.07 to version 6.02 and, without making any edits to my default menu, immediately noticed a regression. I use vesamenu.c32 to present a menu to the

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

Hello, A couple of months back there was this message on the list. http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-October/015459.html I have exactly the same result on just a few types of machines. Acer Tavelmate 8372 and 5742 InsydeH2O Bios v1.05 Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 V 14.0.8 It started after I upgrades pxelinux.0 to version 3.86 Versions tested and got the recursing: 3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.83 On

I have a pxelinux I'm working with and I want the default option to be to boot off the local mbr. According to the docs, if I specify localboot 0, it should return to the BIOS and continue to the next device. When I do this, though, the pxe agent exists (PXE-M0F), but the BIOS never continues on. Is this a BIOS issue? If so, has anyone else figured out a way to work around it? * Philip

Gene, Ady thanks for your suggestions. >> What if you dropped the timeout to 0.8-2.0 seconds or even 0.2 seconds? I tried setting the delay to 2 seconds and 0.2 with no change in behavior. >> First, please be sure you are using all C32 modules from the exact same Syslinux version, including ldlinux.c32 and all lib*.c32 library modules, all located somewhere under the

Hi. I have looked at PXElinux<http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX> to understand all this, but I'm very sorry I don't. I have managed to setup to boot from PXELinux, but I'm not an expert on how to setup a menu file for making a windows unattended installation. Could someone help me with that? Is there some kind of a forum for this or is it just by email?

Dear Developers & Users, I'm using pxe booting on SLES11 sp3. My clients are all Lenovo/IBM E73 Workstations with latest bios. My config is: LABEL disk LOCALBOOT 0 unfortunately this is not working. I tried all 5 options to localboot 1,2,3... as well as chainloading with chain.c32 like described in the wiki: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility#LOCALBOOT

It happens with one entry, or two entries, or three. The configuration works otherwise perfectly on any other environment. If I simplify to the the following, it still hangs after outputting the one visible

I just picked up 3.10-pre15 and the "PXELINUX corrupts graphic filename referenced from DISPLAY file" bug is zapped. Yipee! Thanks hpa. And Arwin too, if that 'xor esi,esi' was the crux. However, LOCALBOOT -1 and LOCALBOOT 0 don't work the same as they did for me in 3.07. :-( 3.07: LOCALBOOT -1 apears to work as I have a hard disk listed in bios boot order after the

Hello, I'm trying to boot a HP Proliant DL320 G5 with a HP Smart Array E200i RAID card (latest BIOS and latest RAID card firmware).

I have a lab in which I keep all my computers set to try network boot first that way it is easy to put a file in pxelinux.cfg of the mac address of a faulty machine and have it build itself or run diagnostics. Up till recently I used pxelinux.0. I have been trying out gpxelinux so that I can use its http fuctionality to download initrd images faster to boot. I just discovered that its local boot

Hello I just tested my pxelinux installation with 5.00-pre6. For the installation I did first the same steps as I did with 4.05.

Is there a solution to pxelinux v2.00 hanging with 'localboot 0' ? I haven't had a good time with v1.76 due to the UNDI corruption bug. I just subscribed and I've searched the archives up to 12/5.

Hi, I'm trying to get the LOCALBOOT option to work with syslinux. I have a bootable USB that boots using syslinux and when ever I select the localboot label it says that it could not find the kernel image. This is my syslinux set up LABEL start localboot 0x80 and when I type "start" at the boot prompt this is what I get back "Could not find kernel image: start" Is
