similar to: Interesting PXE server setup question

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 folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

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

Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,

Is it possible to chain isolinux and memdisk over pxelinux? If it's possible, I'd like to boot a CD Image over the network. I've been using pxelinux to boot ltsp for years, and recently upgraded to take advantage of memdisk for booting a DOS hd-image. Ideally I'd be able to boot a CD-Image. Thoughts? -- <:3)~ Michael T.

We are thinking of using pxe boot with a windows ris server to start off a Centos 4 install. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks Dean

Hello I'm working on my RIS server; I got a problem when I use pxelinux.0 to load setupldr.exe from windows XP 32bits (both home and corporate) Here is how I configure a working server, then how to modify it to reproduce the bug: ========================= I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule

Greetings Luis, I saw a thread about Startrom.com and startrom.o that had your name attached... I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an issue that I have. I have a Linux server that is our corporate PXE server. It is set up in a logical folder structure so that a host can be pointed to boot a variety of different OS's (DOS, Linux loaders, Windows PE). Here is in my dilemma,

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

Hello all, I've deployed new servers - installing new CentOS servers via PXE booting using its iso distribution stored on an NFS server. For certain server types; I'd like to install custom applications into a server and then generate an image of that server, and deploy again via PXE to another group of servers. Wanted to find out if anyone can forward any pointers to papers or links

Hello, I got in a situation where pxelinux 3.7 (or 3.6) reboots constantly after loading the configuration file and displaying the 'display' option file, but never showing 'boot:' prompt. config file is following: # PXE SYSLINUX config file - look at # http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php for syntax # # ---------- This is gate configure file ------- timeout 20 prompt 1 display

Having the same trouble that Mark ( http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-March/000244.html) had over a test platform I have here. Having a redhat 7.3 with dhcp V3.0rc12 and atftp (0.6.2) on a local small hub and a W2k Server with RIS installed. If I stop binlsvc on nt server my network boot run ok to pxelinux, but as soon as binlsvc is started, RIS server always respond over my local

Hi The setup, as in the subject, is supposed to boot a Winpe to install xp to a clean PC. I use the Ramdisk method (ie PXELinux pases the setup on to the M$ pxe loader and and boots WinPE) It works perfectly with evry other chipset, but Nvidias NForce 4. (tested 15 different) With NF4 it loads up well but the M$ PnP routine detects the Network management bus wrong (nvidia specific approach to

Hello... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

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

Hello list, I need to load windows automatically. I have Argon Technologies CMS (Client Management Systems). http://argontechnology.com I have always had problems with this product because it uses the old MS DOS NET Client 3.0 with a LAN manager stack to copy the files from a Microsoft share. What I need is a Linux boot floppy that will remove partition 1 and re-create it then format as fat

I researched on Archive, but the instruction says to copy startrom.com to startrom.0, so I changed boot program to startrom.0 instead of pxelinux.0, it gives me a TFTP error saying file not found. then I keep startrom.0, change boot program back to pxelinux.0, then I do not see F12 key and boot directly to PXE. then I change the boot program to startrom.com it asked me to press F12, but can

I want to chain multiple servers with pxelinux initiated from a ris server. (Correct me if i'm wrong) The Ris server sends a tftp-path-prefix location where the pxelinux.cfg is searched. On the ris server I have entries like: label server2 kernel 192.168.1.2::pxelinux.0 This fetches the pxelinux from server2 but the pxeconfig.cfg from server1 is used. Can I overrule this with an
