I have an issue to boot iPXE with Syslinux 5.01. However, the same method works for Syslinux 4.06. The error messages I got is (see attached png file): =================================== iPXE 1.0.0+git-20120202.f8840ba-3 -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org Features: VLAN HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE SRP BzImage COMBOOT ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT /syslinux/ipxe.lkn: command not found

Dear all, I packaged syslinux 6.03-pre9 on AMD64 Debian Sid, however, the problem is, I have problem to use it for PXE booting (BIOS mode). It always gives me "Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32". I am sure all the settings are correct because if I switch to the prebuilt syslinux downloaded from

That doesn't seem like a good reason to keep the old code base alive... we need to reduce our support load. Steven Shiau <steven at nchc.org.tw> wrote: > >On 09/27/2013 02:37 AM, H.

Deal developers, I'd like to follow the thread http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2013-April/019761.html but change the subject to 'pxelinux 5.10 and memtest86+ 4.20' and provide more test cases. The pxelinux before version 5, e.g. version 4.06, worked very well with memtest86+ 4.20, all my PXE client machines, including VMWare workstation 9, VirtualBox 4.2, and all the real

After switching to version 6.2, I am having a problem to use chain.c32 to boot a local disk. My settings: ====================== label local MENU LABEL Local operating system in hard drive kernel chain.c32 append hd0 ====================== It gave me "Error: Couldn't read the first disk sector" If I change the settings as ====================== label local MENU LABEL

Dear all, I'd like to have a DHCP/PXE server for different arch of clients, i.e. BIOS, EFI32, and EFI64 clients. As described here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589 What Daniel has proposed (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589#10) should work, i.e. Using a file called pxelinux.cfg/bios containing the following 2 lines:
