similar to: Syslinux 4.10-pre20

I think I finally have nailed down the problems with TFTP on the 4.10 branch, and so I have released 4.10-pre20. Please let me know if you have hardware on which 4.05/4.06-pre3 works, and 4.10-pre20 does not. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.

Hi all, Based on the commitdiff comments, this looks like what I (and many many others) have been plagued with. Machines typically affected: DELL PowerEdge 2950, R720, R810, etc. (server class) DELL PowerEdge 960 (desktop class) Eagerly awaiting the next pre-release to test this out! : thumbs up : : thumbs up : Regards, Shantanu

Hi, I am a happy user of version 4.06 and have been hoping to upgrade the 5.x series (for the HTTP bits). I have the following problems with the 5.11-pre7 build: 1. TFTP load is horribly slow ... even when the two REAL machines are connected to the same switch. For a typical RHEL installation, the vmlinuz loads ... the initrd.img loads very very slowly and just times out (I waited over 10 mins)

I tried isolinux 3.10-pre20 on an Acer Aspire 1501LMi notebook and a Shuttle FS-40 desktop box; it fails on both, simply hanging after printing the first line. Last known good version is 3.10-pre16; will try pre17-pre19 when I have some time.

Hi, I have a problem to report with the 4.10-pre15 branch. The problem is that my KVM guest "just reboots" when booting off the network. The setup is as follows: Host OS: RHEL 6.0/RHEL 6.1 with the default packages (no additional repos or packages) KVM guest configured to network boot. (maybe irrelevant info ...) ?!? DHCP server (using dnsmasq) in the same subnet as the KVM host.

Your scenario failed on my OptiPlex 760 but with 6.02, it works. See also http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19 Nope, still no joy on the physical machines. Different symptoms though.

Hi, I have been using 6.03-pre11 lpxelinux.0 to deliver standard (TFTP) and HTTP based vmlinuz and kernel images. Things are working fine. When I upgraded the same to 6.03-pre12 it stopped working. On the console of the machine that is booting, is stalls infinitely at the line: PXELINUX 6.03 lwIP 6.03-pre12 Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al Screen shot attached. FWIW: 1. the

So far I tested PXELINUX from 4.10-pre12, 4.10-pre9 and 4.10-pre6. The first two take a long time with a TFTP file not found and eventually find my file but error out (presumably to kaboom). The last takes a long time, does a lot of retransmitted packets (didn't watch the first two), then eventually loads the file but continues this behavior for TFTP and HTTP transfers. This is on VMware

Hi, HPA: Thanks for the nice new features, appreciate that. Syslinux is always a nice program. For the new version, 3.10-pre20, I encountered a problem now, my client machine uses sis900 chip, and it still can not run simple menu with pxelinux in this version (3.10-pre20). It's same situation as I encountered when I used syslinux 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09. For 3.10-pre20, I compiled in Fedora

Hi, I have had a VMware ESXi network boot setup for quite some time now. After upgrading from 4.06 to 5.01 (or 5.10-pre3) the network boot fails with the following error: --- snip --- Failed to load COM32 file esxi/5.1.0/mboot.c32 boot: --- snip --- This error is seen for the ESXi bootup only. The default mboot.c32 from syslinux itself doesn't work and this setup has been working with

Hi all, I too am getting positive results using 6.03-pre19 lpxelinux.0, for the problem that I have been facing. The symptom was that booting hangs on client side. On the server (DNSMasq TFTP) it keeps getting a request for the same (MAC address) file. OR, alternatively it just stops completely. My server: OptiPlex 755. BIOS A22 The PXE booting client: OptiPlex 960. BIOS A17 * Things are
