similar to: pxelinux 512MB limitation ?

Hi, I've been trying a couple of day now, but I can't seem to figure it out. On www.etherboot.org, I found the example of configuring gPXE so that it mounts an iSCSI lun and then boot from CDROM so you are able to install on the LUN. But if I use gpxelinux.0 (latest release 3.73), with sanboot.c32 like this: label sanboot2008srv menu label ^[iscsi] Windows server 2008 kernel

I have been looking at the etherboot site and at the syslinux/pxelinx sites trying to figure out how to use gpxe, and I am a bit confused. :) In a nutshell, I simply want to use http to grab the config and messages files. (I need those files to be dynamic.) I tried just replacing pxelinux.o with gpxelinux.0. But, gpxe complains (A LOT) about unrecognized commands. I can't find a simple

Hi Hpa and all I am confused about some function of pxelinux and gpxelinux/gpxe. 1, after I read the document (http://edgyu.excess.org/ols/2008/H%20Peter%20Anvin%20-%20x86%20network%20bo oting%3a%20integrating%20gPXE%20and%20PXELINUX.pdf), I knew there are two major module in standard gPXE, PXE BC and UNDI. And I can understand why I need to produce different boot file for different NIC from

Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

Hello. We are using gpxelinux from SYSLINUX 4.02. We recently purchased some HP Proliant BL460c G6 servers with Broadcom BCM 57711 10Gbit NICS. We have a very simple pxelinux.gpxe script compiled into gpxelinux.0: #!gpxe set use-cached 1 dhcp net0 chain http://webserver/gpxe/gpxe.php?IP=${net0/ip} The PHP script dynamically creates a config file that looks something like this: #!gpxe set

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

You're all back! (yippie!). Now I can ask the question that's been nagging at me over the past month... Is booting gpxelinux.0, under QEMU, which provides it's own GPXE capable boot rom supposed to work? Or, is it a redundant (the GPXE boot room already provides the functionality of gpxelinux.0) and suicidally dumb thing to do? I've found some references to other people

Good day, Pasi. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining the Syslinux mailing-list, if you haven't done so already. Is part of the problem description that the 'LOCALBOOT 0' directive does not behave as expected? If I'm not mistaken, I believe that 'LOCALBOOT 0' will return control to the computer's PXE boot ROM code. The PXE boot ROM code is then supposed to

All, For several days, I've been trying to debug an issue booting a Windows 7 machine over iscsi (utilizing gpxelinux.0 and sanboot.c32). ? ??? - I can get it to function OK utilizing plain gPXE (so I know my iscsi config is OK and also the iscsi drive is OK). ??? - When utilizing gpxelinux, the system shows that the iscsi drive is mounting and trying to boot. However, at that point the

IRC user ernini first noticed this. We both tried using gpxe/gpxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. ernini used pxechain to a commercial NBP which RETs (the same as PXELINUX) and failed. Both of us had success with core/pxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. For my test, I have a VM in VMware Server 2.0.2 (VMHW v7). I loaded gpxelinux.0 using the VM's built-in PXE ROM. Then I used

Hi, ?I happily use gpxelinux.0 in subnets where nic-embedded pxe stack can load it from a tftp server pointed by the dhcp daemon. Now I'd like to know the best way to run gpxelinux.0 in a special subnets, where no tftp trafic is allowed, http is served through a reverse proxy, and dhcp is ok. I tried "gpxe on local media (rom/iso/floppy/usb) -> gpxelinux.0" with limited success

Hi Bootmeisters, I am using gpxelinux.0 + sanboot.c32 to boot a diskless machine into Linux. I would like to use device-mapper-multipath to provide fault tolerant access to its root disk. Although I am able to do this by hardcoding the additional paths in the initrd, it would be better if the bootloader could pass the information in the iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table). However, at the

While trying out gpxelinux.0, I realized that it didn't work in the latest release candidate. This is what happens: This is a screenshot from a VM: http://bsfh.ath.cx/gpxe.png It hangs there for a long time. I tried in two configurations: 1) Qemu KVM with tap networking, ISC dhcpd and tftp from iputils on the host. 2) Desktop, dnsmasq from OpenWRT as dhcp/tftp server. The only difference on

Hi, I found this message in your online mail archive, i have found the same problem and did some research in the past on this. Maybe you would be interested to know it is a problem on any virtualisation product not just ESX. Second it is a problem in gPXE that you embedded in gPXElinux. The problem was build in gPXE after version 0.97 so any gPXElinux build a newer version has this problem. I

I have produced a first cut of integrating gPXE with PXELINUX. This builds, in addition to the usual pxelinux.0, an image called gpxelinux.0 which includes the gPXE network stack. The result is that one can now download images via (almost) any network protocol supported by gPXE, including http. This lets one do fun things like using a CGI or PHP script for the configuration file. SAN

ifgpxe.c32 is a com32 module that will run one command if gPXE extensions are available, and a different command if not. At VMware, we use this module to chain-load gpxelinux.0 from pxelinux.0. Both of those binaries use exactly the same configuration file, and this module allows us to differentiate between the two cases and break the infinite chain-loading loop that might result. Typical usage:

For non-EFI systems, this has meant use HTTP services if available (ie, iPXE/gPXE or lwIP as in
