Hi all, A number of people have posted to the Xen lists recently wanting to network-boot Xen on machines whose NICs are not supported by GRUB. I''ve been writing a module for PXELINUX that will allow it to boot Xen directly over the network on PXE-enabled machines, without relying on any hacks (mbootpack, &c.), or needing to write/port any device drivers. I have a version of it

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new TCP stack. > >>

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.

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux 3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Here is my pxelinux config: === 8< === label freebsd72-i386-mboot kernel mboot.c32 append /kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/kernel/kernel single --- /kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/mfsroot === 8< === Here is the error message I get on boot: === 8< ===

How do I use that in the generic case? The ?pxebsd.0? file can be called as? ? PXE loader ? COMBOOT (16-bit) ? DOS .COM ? Multiboot (although it switches back to 16-bit mode

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this

According to the Changelog for 5.01, pxelinux.0 can load boot files via http. But I can't get it to work. Specifying http as my boot path, just gives me an invalid file or directory error. ie: KERNEL http://10.48.128.56/rhel-server/rhel-server-6.4-x86_64/vmlinuz If I do a wget on the http path, I can get vmlinuz just fine. What am I doing wrong? I also tried copying lpxelinux.0 over

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

Hello, I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present in mboot.c now, so I added support for it. The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next release of syslinux so ELF multiboot

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs .

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought
