similar to: Syslinux 6.03-pre7: EFI64 broken (Gene Cumm)

Still interested in pre-compiled binaries for 6.03-pre6. But my comment about 6.02 TFTP brokenness may speak more to my lack of understanding of the TFTP protocol than to any pxelinux 6.02 code problems. It seems that when TFTP sends an OACK back to syslinux.efi, it sends it from another port than 69. So, it seems to be opening a data connection back to the TFTP client off an ephemeral port.

There are no pre-compiled binaries (official or otherwise) on kernel.org. I assume what is meant is https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ At least, that is where the "downloads" page of syslinux.org directs you. Under there are the various source tarballs (tar.gz format, tar.bz2 format). Also a directory called RPMS/. But that kernel.org RPMS/ directory is devoid of

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

All, I was excited to hear about EFI boot support in pxelinux >= 6.00. So I tried it. Not working. I've tried 6.02 (from source), 6.02 (from RPM), early 6.03 (from RPM) and even pulled/compiled latest source from git. 6.0.3-pre7. No love. My boot client can boot/image fine in legacy PXE mode. My dhcpd.conf looks like this: # In initial DHCP DISCOVER packet, PXE client sets option

H Peter, I notice the Intel Boot Agent (in the BOOT ROM) takes a different approach. When TFTP loading the initial syslinux.efi. It receives the OACK with both options set -- tsize (of 145744) and blksize (of 1408). Apparently it has challenges parsing this "two option" OACK packet. But it remembers the tsize of 145744. So it issues another read request, this time requesting only a

Using both a disk load and netboot, the precompiled binaries of Syslinux 6.03-pre7 for EFI64 appear broken. Testing 6.03-pre6 on the same system results in a successful boot. This does not appear to affect the BIOS architecture and likely affects EFI32 also. -- -Gene

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre7; the only delta over -pre6 is a small change to meminfo.c32. I expect to make a 3.81 release probably early next week, so this is a last call notice. If you have any outstanding issues, or you have tests you want to do and want some more time (Dag - I know you said you were going to try to do some tests over the weekend), please speak up *now*. -hpa

Gene and co, Now my pxelinux efi 64 boot is properly loading syslinux.efi (via TFTP) It then issues a TFTP file request for efi.x64/pxelinux.cfg/ldlinux.e64. (All my efi x64 content is under efi.x64/pxelinux.cfg). However, I see that it fails to properly negotiate the TFTP options with my TFTP server. so it never transfers ldlinux.e64 over. In its file request packet, it asks for these TFTP

Most excellent! The pre-compiled syslinux6.03-pre6 binaries work great! I'm able to load syslinux.efi and all necessary support libs. I get my expected syslinux boot menu. I've used syslinux 5 / vesamenu for yrs (Legacy PXE boots). So I know my way around from here. Thanks Gene & Feri. And thanks Peter, for making me feel better -- it's the TFTP protocol that's bizarre, I

Hi, I am a happy user of version 4.06 and have been hoping to upgrade the 5.x series (for the HTTP bits). I have the following problems with the 5.11-pre7 build: 1. TFTP load is horribly slow ... even when the two REAL machines are connected to the same switch. For a typical RHEL installation, the vmlinuz loads ... the initrd.img loads very very slowly and just times out (I waited over 10 mins)

Hello friends! HAXM is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel Virtualization Technology to speed up IA (x86/ x86_64) emulation on a host machine running Windows or macOS. Latest Isolinux 6.03 hangs under VM after "Main image LBA =...". Please, help us investigate the root of the problem. Bug on github: https://github.com/intel/haxm/issues/15 Thank you!

I've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

Are you sure that 6.02-pre1 worked? There was only one commit between 6.02-pre1 and 6.02-pre2 and it shouldn't have affected anything at

Gene, First off, great documentation on http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX-Multi-Arch You clearly lay out the various techniques. Just last week, I presented a pxelinux talk to our local Linux meet-up group. (I've given this talk before.) http://2014.texaslinuxfest.org/content/creating-legacy-efi-pxe-server-using-pxelinux.html Apparently, I'm using the "distinct

Hi all, I have merged Tim's patches to the mboot loader, and have pushed it out as 3.20-pre7. I guess I'm going to actually have to make a 3.20 here soon... -hpa
