Hi, we have some old dell optiplex 745 machines which have the Intel 965q chipset. The problem is, that they freeze as soon as the system tries to start the X system. It happens even before any log is written. This happens almost every time (for some reason it sometimes work, but 99% it fails). When i change the graphic driver in xorg.conf from intel to vesa it mostly works, but still i sometimes

Shantanu, let's continue here. You first noticed this on a Dell OptiPlex 755. I think it covers all Dell OptiPlex/Latitude/Precision models that are PCIe based with Intel LoM (LAN on motherboard) utilizing the BIOS PXE OROM, based on the similarity of these systems. The symptoms are that PXELINUX requests pxelinux.cfg/<UUID> by TFTP (but it might not strictly be a TFTP issue) when not

None of Dell OptiPlex 990 (firmware A19), 9010 (firmware A22), nor 9020 (firmware A16) seem have a built-in EFI shell option, but in all three cases I had success running the external EFI shell from

Yes on optiplex 790 i upgraded from A07 to A18 (there was a nic upgrade) but it didn't change anything.. On optiplex 380 i upgraded from bios A01 to A07(don't know if upgrade contained pxe or not)... I tried, lpxelinux.0 and it wasn't faster. Only v4.07 helped on these machines. Tomorrow, i will give a try with 6.03pre2. In wireshark, i saw no errors, the packet length was the

Hello all. Again I call upon the greats of this mailing list to help me with an issue related to MEMDISK - notably when paired with various Dell OptiPlex and Latitude systems. The issue presented itself sometime ago and I best dealt with it by remaining with version 3.83 of the SYSLINUX package. But valuing the improved changes fostered by newer versions, I would prefer to move forward with

Hi there, We had to setup a pxelinux on a new server (windows 2012) and used the latest release of pxelinux 6.0.2. Everything went ok on my first client test machine : dell optiplex 740. Pxe was really fast (vesamenu with large background image was appearing in less than 3 secondes) But on different client machine i got different results : On optiplex 790 (core i5 with intel 82579 nic) and

I've got an old Dell Optiplex (Pentium-II, 1998 Vintage) which is successfully running an X100P card. I'm hoping to upgrade to a TDM400. Has anybody tried running these cards in old Optiplex machines? I'm not particularly worried about horsepower - more about the motherboard having a PCI bus that's able to power up the card... -Ronan

Notice the same thing happens with optiplex 790 (core i5 sandy bridge). With 790 too everything is ok with pxelinx 4.0.7. I'll post a wireshark later. Le 25/02/2014 17:06, H.

Hi, We only have Dell computers here. We have about 100 optiplex 380. Here is a link to download my wireshark traces : http://dl.free.fr/qgCPEM5Uo In this traces i tested pxelinux and lpxelinux 6.03 on optiplex 740(the one working) and optiplex 380. pxelinux works on both computers but very slowly on 380 as seen in traces. lpxelinux works only on 740. On 380 it seems to enter in a kind of

I have tried this with openssh-2.5.2p2 and openssh-SNAP-20010501. I have noticed that with a .hushlogin file in my home directory I still get messages.

Good day to you, too. No worries about the delay. I understand how busy everyone is with SYSLINUX. Gladly, the project continues to develop and improve. With that said, thanks for today's flurry of activity regarding my reported problem. Impressively, the debug version of MEMDISK that you had directed me to use appears to have done the trick. Results below. command line:

I just started having an issue with PXELinux with one particular model of computer. The issue appears to occur on Dell Optiplex 740 computers, and any disk image that we try to boot with PXE Linux comes up with a Boot Disk Failure for two images or Cannot Load Kernel error for Dell Diagnostics. The error only appears to occurs on the Optiplex 740 model. I've tested PXE Linux and our boot

Sorry for the delay, we were too busy drinking and playing with explosives yesterday. :) Here are some tests. We did one on a similar machine and it worked.

Hi, The CentOS 4.4 installation doesn't work on a Optiplex 745 because it doesn't support the sata controller. Is there a known work-around? (smaller prob: dvi video doesn't work at install time, vga only) If only we had CentOS 5 :-) Cheers, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University.

Hi - I am using the CentOS v5 desktop installation and am setting up a new lab for our engineering department. Initially I computers got their IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer were getting the info from the dynamic pool. These name would be d-23-76.mnsu.edu, where the d stood for dynamic and 23-76 refered the IP address of xx.xx.23.76. The computer

Hello, My desktop machine at work was replaced and they gave me a Dell Optiplex GX520 machine to use. When booting from CD-ROM I use isolinux 3.50 and the keyboard does not work. It does work once linux boots, and it works if I hit the F2 to go into bios before isolinux starts. I have searched google and the syslinux archives for 'Optiplex GX520' but have not found any reports of
