Hi, I am trying to create an image that is larger than 1.44MB to be used with PXE boot (Ghost 8 requires 2 floppys). My current attempts result in the boot hanging at : Loading boot sector... booting... Starting... My config just says the following: default memdisk append initrd=smalldos.img I created the image following http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-August/005573.html (I am unsure

I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the RedHat Linux network boot disk for an ftp install. I have done this for RedHat 7.2 and 7.3. I followed the same procedure I used for the other RedHat boot disks using the RedHat 8.0 boot disk and syslinux didn't work. Syslinux boots the system, gets the boot: prompt and dies. The error message is can not find ramdisk image and then cannot find

Doing a lot of RTFM lately about PXE. I have done xCAT builds but want to take the voodo out of the process so I can control and understand the whole system. I am new to PXE technology and so consider me ignorant. The current server is a MS RIS server and I am attempting to migrate our facility to use Linux / PXE instead. First stage: take existing DOS bootnet floppy and convert to boot from

After about 15 hours, a packet sniffer and a ton of google searching later, I have a solution to getting WDS (Windows Deployment Services) to work with PXELINUX Google didn't turn up anything of use directly, everything that was referenced appeared to be related to starting pxelinux from either WDS or RIS. That just won't do, since they often can give hiccups and lockups when

Hi all, I would like to check with you all if the following is possible: I'd like to combine G4L (Ghost clone) with PXE (been done before) but in such a way that an option in LDAP is checked after booting with PXE. If it's set, a certain program is executed with certain parameters (G4L), if not, the PC should continue to boot in it's installed operating system. Is the latter

Hardware with issue is a Lenovo T410 (circa 2007?): SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2009 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is working for Ghostcast/peer to peer. SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2014 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is NOT working for Ghostcast/peer to

I am testing BDD 2007 and WDS on a Windows 2003 Server. I have a PXE Server with tftpd32 and pxelinux boot. Is it possible to have a menu entry that chain the first pxe booting(pxelinux) to the WDS Server which is on a different computer because I can't install WDS on the TFTP pxelinux. I have testing this entry: LABEL TEST WDS kernel ipadress::pxeboot.0 but the first server always respond

Once again I feel horrible for asking something I feel is completely off topic for this group but everyone is so extremely helpful :( In my organization, we basically use Windows PE disks, to do our re-images, after some time and a lot of help from this group I was able to get a thumb drive to successfully work as a Windows PE bootloader, as well as some other utilities like wiping the hard

Dear All, First posting here... I am trying to integrate a PXELinux boot into my native-mode WDS server. I have found that making WDS boot the PXELinux is easy (see below), it is making PXELinux give control back to WDS that I have not cracked yet. -In your WDS server, copy the contents of your tftpboot folder to the Boot\x86 folder in your RemoteInstall one. -Open the Windows Deployment

I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and it's old enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an optical drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network, as I see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu. The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated kickstart install. Are there any

While this is not a problem with CentOS I am hoping to solve the situation using a CentOS machine. For anyone not interested I am sorry to clutter your mail box. For everyone else any ideas or suggestions are welcome. A bit of background: We have an application that runs only in DOS 6.22 at the moment that we would like to run on all of our desktop computers each time they boot up. Our

I'm using pxelinux in an interesting way, to load DOS boot disk images from a win2k RIS (Remote installation Service) to do various functions. Soem of the disk images are used for flashing the BIOS on pcs, but a specific few are set aside for booting MSDOS with MS lanman so that ghost can be run to load images to/from the lan. I've got 6 different disk images setup and the all work

Hi, I'm facing some problems with pxelinux. I have ingetrated it into WDS server. I want to use Network boot all way possible. I want to add Hiren boot disk and NT password editor tools. Is this possible? Currently my network boot includes WDS, Linux install, Win98 Startup disk and ghost 11.5 wPS-DOS. My conf file as follows(*) Also in hyperv virtual machines(x64) pxelinux.com displays

Quite simply, HOW? :) I have the pxeboot initrd.img from the RH 3.0 AS CD's. We need to put a new cciss.o driver from HP into this initrd.img. Unforunately, the modules in the pxeboot initrd.img we have are 2.4.21-4 and our new driver is compiled for 2.4.21-15, so we have to upgrade everything. I downloaded the kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-15 RPM and installed that, so I have all those drivers. My

We're working on setting up a Citrix environment within our school. In the end this will work on a special computer lab, and possibly some of the staff computers. (to deploy OS and applications). Another group of IT within the school uses Ghost to re-image their labs on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis. And here's the problem.... Ghost is using a PXE server so that the computers can be

Is there anyway to set dynamically set dhcp options when chain loading another pxe boot loader? I'm setting up a pxelinux network install server and one operating system I want to support is freebsd. Freebsd has its own pxe loader called pxeboot that you can use. You just have to boot it from tftp and set the root-path dhcp option (option 17) to the location of your nfs server with the

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

Attempting to PXE boot from the BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/images/pxeboot/ files results in repeating messages Invalid or corrupt kernel image eventually changing to Could not find kernel image: centos8.2.x86_64/vmlinuz I downloaded the files again, from a different mirror, and they are all the same. Wiped the files and recreated /tftpboot/linux-install/centos8.2.x86_64/. No dice. First mirror
