I've spent a lot more time with this today, trying to get this working with 4.07, 5.01, and 5.10 ... no luck, but I did have a few follow-up questions. (1) Should it be possible to use the newer (e.g. 5.10) version of syslinux and use http:// URLs for both the initial vmlinuz image and also the initrd? -- As I was doing before with gpxelinux.0? A naive attempt to use lpxelinux.0 on our

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

I upgraded from syslinux 4.x to syslinux 6.01 and am now having issues with pxe chaining. I've tried moving up as far as 6.02-pre16, but I'm still experiencing the same problem. The original config called the next server as follows: LABEL Cobbler KERNEL pxechain.com APPEND 10.x.x.x::pxelinux.0 Which worked for the previous version, but I started getting an error after

When chainloading one pxelinux from another (e.g., chainloading from say pxelinux 4.07 to pxelinux 6.02), can one pass parameters or somehow control the root directory and/or server IP address? Here's the need: we have a loaded-up PXE server working great under 4.07, and I'm not prepared to just switch the entire setup to a newer version of pxelinux, too many folks depending on a

Hi All, A while back there was some mention that gpxe may acquire the ability to receive command-line parameters. I'd dearly love if this could become a reality. It would be fantastic if we could have a pxelinux menu config as follows: KERNEL gpxelinux.0 APPEND config http://someserver.net/gpxe-for-this-box.cfg This would solve a huge number of our problems since we don't have the

To start, I know I need to upgrade SYSLINUX, but since we are using the CMenu's it's not that easy of an upgrade. I have been (slowly) working on a new iPXE/pxelinux 4.04 install that I am migrating to. However, I have an interesting problem. Using any of the examples I have seen, I can not make pxechain.com work. "pxechain.com ::/path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com

I have a situation very similar to whats in http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-January/019251.html The server is setup to provide info over dhcp+tftp and I'm planning on chaning that to dhcp+http so I copied gpxelinux.0 to pxelinux.0 and started failing. The client (in my case it's a hp proliant BL460c G7) manage to get gpxelinux.0 loaded but when it comes to load the config file it

Hello list, I am trying to prepare a USB disk with syslinux that is meant to be able to offer a choice among many different distributions. The goal is that I should be able to dump each distribution's CD contents into a separate subdirectory, and have a master menu that hands off to each distribution's subdirectory. A while back, when faced with a similar task on a PXE server, I came

Hi All, I've been trying to understand how to use pxechn.c32 to chain a local pxelinux menu item to a remote server which has it's own pxelinux hierarchy served via TFTP and HTTP. We have no control over DHCP next-server and filename fields so I wanted to exploit the "prefix" -p option that pxechn.c32 accepts. I spent a long time hitting my head against a brick wall until I

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

Ady, I had not previously tried three slashes, but have now. No difference unfortunately. I've also tried using the web server on the same machine as the PXE server and using 'http://127.0.0.1/Software/Util1.iso' as the URL, again to no avail. It appears not to be able to connect to anything via http or https. Presumably it uses network settings (such as the gateway) provided by the

Hello, I'm playing with gpxelinux, it's works but ...
