Hello, on a somewhat recent machine (Dell T1600) I'm unable to use my usual setup (pxelinux as a boatloader also for local OS - typically windows). The BIOS is capable of using UEFI, but this is turned off. Unfortunately all I get is a message telling me that pxelinux is unable to boot from local disk. The config entry looks like this: LABEL local MENU LABEL OS installed on local disk

Hello, are there known issues with some bioses not booting from Superfloppy format? All I get is the Syslinux (c) line and nothing else happens afterwords. Everything works fine if a partition is added to the device. Unfortunately however the target device can not be partitioned. Any hint?

Hello, up to now I have been using plain pxelinux with symbolic links (IP or MAC-Address) to the machine dependent defaults. This has been working fine with minimal differences in the configuration files: --default-lenny-- DEFAULT lenny INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-options INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-kernels ----------------- --default-squeeze-- DEFAULT squeeze INCLUDE

Hello, setting up Meetme was very easy. I jut added the MeetMe Application to an internal extension to be reachable by SIP and to an external extension to be reachable by ISDN.

Hello, looks like Asterisk (at least the Version 1.4.21.2 from debian lenny, which I use) has a serious Problem with pseudo-realtime mode (-p switch) in conjunction with recent Kernels. Whenn using -p Asterisk simply hangs forever on startup. This is almost certainly related to the CFS SCHED_FIFO changes: http://lwn.net/Articles/296419/ Do you know how a workaround or patch how to run asterisk

Hello, when booting via pxelinux I can change the image to be booted based on client uuid, and MAC-Adresses. http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Configuration Now when using syslinux I would like to be able to also do this as I like to use one usb flash-drive for booting multiple machines. Is this possible or impossible by design because syslinux always uses syslinux.cfg? Regards

Dear syslinux users, I am trying to move Kernel and initrd images away from the root directory of my bootable Partition. Looks like this is not possible. While it seems to work with pxelinux, it does not seem to work when using syslinux and FAT. I tried the following: label foo kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/initrd Ideally it would be even possible to move syslinux.cfg into

Hi there, I try to boot from an USB Pen-Drive. This works fine on my Laptop, but when I try to change to the target machine it almost takes five minutes until the initrd (fairly big, 18MB) has been loaded. Any hints on how I could try to increase speed? The Bios has already been updatet to the most recent Version. Sven -- "Das ist halt der Unterschied: Unix ist ein Betriebssystem mit

Hello, I have quite some experiance integration Linux Machines into AD (mostly the M$ one up to now). But now I have a Samba AD DC, which works fine so far. If I understand this correctly, the server itself does not need to be "part" of the domain itself as far as user administration is concerned, right? For using nss-ldapd I would need a valid /etc/krb5.keytab instead of the samba4

Hello, I'm currently running a test setup with Samba4 internal DNS (Version 4.1.5 from Debian backports) and 2 clients (Linux and a Windows). Everything seems to work so far.
