similar to: pxelinux search order for configuration file

Currently, the TFTP configuration file discovery process will request a set of files based on the UUID, MAC address, lease IP address and eventually fall back to "default": /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B [...] /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default

I intend to release SYSLINUX 3.73-pre7 as SYSLINUX 3.73 as soon as possible. Please let me know if there are any outstanding bugs with 3.73-pre7 that either haven't been reported or I have forgotten about... it's been a while. -hpa

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

Hi, folks, We've been using pxeboot to pull up a menu, to build or rebuild machines for years. We have this new server, and it fails. Times out. What's happening is that it tries in this order .../pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d .../pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A8025B .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A8025 .../pxelinux.cfg/C0A802

Hi! As documented: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX When pxelinux "boots" it is looking for this: /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000 /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000

Hello! I have some weird problem. I have pxelinux(3.10) configured fine. Os: FreeBsd 6.1, tftp-hpa 0.41, some version of dhcpd from ports. It worked before on another machine which's hd passed away and i lost my working example. Configured new computer as boot server... What happends is dhcp gives all the parameters to client(this server also works for giving addresses to workstations) -

Hi! We use Windows tftp-servers (so I dont think switching now would be an alternative). But I can try to suggest it. More specific, vendor id of the mac address, is what I want to be able to "choose" (if match) which bootmenu to display. Like all broadcom NICs we have would boot the undionly.kpxe "menu!! (I am having some trouble with broadcom (PCI fiber) and iPXE :) And the

Hi This is what I like to be able to do. 1. Computer boot on LAN, using PXELinux. 2. If the computer is booting for the first time it sends MAC adr, RAM, size of harddrive and name of videocard to a shared folder on a computer, maybe a server, that is attached to the network. 3. If this is not the first time it scan for a new task, could be a new ghostimage or an unattended installation of a

Hi everyone. I need a hint. I have a running pxelinux system with a lot of submenues in production usage. Nearly the same structure I have in production usage from USB-sticks (syslinux and memdisk). No I want to have the same structure also bootable form a CD. Unfotunally my main applications are only available as .iso -files. no chance to get them bootable with eg vmlinuz. The iso contains

Hello all, I understand that during PXE boot, it goes into the pxelinux.cfg and it states: 1. "it will search for the config file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B (you can use the included progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try

Hi all, I need some suggestions or hints which syslinux version I shall use. The main focus will be on PXE boot. I have to upgrade due to (expected) performance problems (tftp), so I will swich to HTTP boot ! existing system: - syslinux version 4.05 (tftp only) - used modules : pxelinux.0, memdisk, vesamenuc32, patched startrom.0 - I boot .nbi , .iso, .ima and sometimes files (clonezilla etc.) -

Hi, Is it possible for pxelinux.0 to use the mac address of the machine in addition to IP address and its derivatives from the tftp server?

Dear all, I'd like to have a DHCP/PXE server for different arch of clients, i.e. BIOS, EFI32, and EFI64 clients. As described here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589 What Daniel has proposed (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589#10) should work, i.e. Using a file called pxelinux.cfg/bios containing the following 2 lines:
