Correction: Ctrl-J Bypasses labels and tries to load file So at the prompt if one inputs foo<Ctrl-J>, pxelinux looks for a file in the following order: foo.c32 foo.img foo.bss foo.bin foo.bs foo.0 foo On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 2:12 PM, Alexandre Blanchette <blanalex at gmail.com>wrote: > On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 2:50 AM, Ferenc Wagner <wferi at niif.hu> wrote: >

From syslinux.doc:

We are doing a deployment across many sites, we're doing one site at a time and we're bringing a "mobile server" (a laptop, really) to keep traffic local instead saturating the WAN link of each site. I'd like to make a script so each client can determine if the mobile server is on the same subnet either with a ping with a zero TTL value, with the ip/netmask and a bit of

A small how-to for encapsulating option 210 inside option 43 on Windows DHCP servers would be welcome then :-) And as far as UEFI x86 system go, one would simply have to create another vendor class with the value PXEClient:Arch:00006 On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 12:05 AM, Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 8:52 PM, Alexandre Blanchette > <blanalex at

In PXELinux 4.06 (the vanilla version, not gpxelinux.0), I'm trying to use pxechn.c32 to call iPXE (undionly) with option 67 set to call an iPXE script. The relevant portion of my PXELinux config looks like this: LABEL MDT MENU LABEL ^B - MDT 2012 SP1 com32 pxechn.c32 APPEND undionly.kpxe -o 67.s=ipxe/mdt.ipxe However iPXE doesn't seem to get the option correctly, it goes into

I've found a way to support PXE booting both UEFI and BIOS architectures with Windows Server DHCP. This method uses a feature introduced in WinServer 2012: DHCP policies. First, in the the DHCP console, at the IPv4 root of the server, create a vendor class named PXEClient (UEFI x64) with the following value: PXEClient:Arch:00007 Then create your configuration for your BIOS clients in your

I'm currently using Microsoft DHCP to enable PXE booting. I've set options 66 and 67 for the relevant scopes and it's all fine and dandy. However, UEFI machines won't initiate PXE boot, they don't seem to recognize the options. Is there another setting that need to be set? And how to I filter UEFI clients so I set option 67 to the right value (lpxelinux.efi)? -- Alexandre

I post this to the mailing list, but perhaps is not the good place. I'm not subscribed, so I don't know if I'm going to get any reply, but please, tell me where to send patches. I attach two patches that correctly describes the new support for F11 and F12 in documentation but I have two more question to update documentation accordingly. In doc/syslinux.txt line 515, talking about

Since keystrokes were brought up, this seems like a reasonable time to make the following seemingly simple-to-implement feature request: Navigating a multi-level menu structure seems to require use of UP/DOWN/ENTER/ESC. It would be easier to quickly search/navigate if it could be done with fingers stationed on the arrow keys so that the eyes can stay focused on the screen. Current

I successfully encapsulated option 210 inside 43 with Microsoft DHCP servers. I followed the template in the PXELINUX documentation, at the "using vendor options, handcrafted" heading.

Well, I decided to get ROSH back out and try to get it functioning in Syslinux-4. As has been my habit, I first recompiled the Linux binary and tried it out. In the beginning of ROSH, it calls console_ansi_std(). When I was working on this in the past, using this function ensured both the Linux and the Syslinux/COM32 binaries function similarly. When using fgets() to get an input string in the

Hi All, I upgraded to OS X 10.7 on my laptop and when I try to ssh into my servers and do edits it seems my backspace is now weird. When I backspace it skips all around, inserts what looks to be special characters, etc. If I save and go back in the file edited right, but due to all the inserted garbage and skipping around of the cursor I cant tell at that time if what I did worked. I dont recall

Hi, I'm trying to add a boot image to syslinux. It errors out, but the menu quickly comes back to cover the message(s). I'm running syslinux under QEMU/KVM. Is there a way to see the messages? Thanks -Mike

Greetings! I have an issue with an R editor (namely Tinn-R). A few weeks ago all of a sudden the backspace, enter and direction keys were not working. I updated Tinn-R to the newest version but still no sollution. After this I tried reinstalling it (prior to that I removed Tinn-R and deleted all the "leftovers" manually) and still no change. In every other execution (e.g. when I save a
