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

It's not this and I'm getting a PXE-E99 tftp failure "Unexepected Network Error", so I'll guess I'll need to investigate what kind of TFTP server makes hyper-v happy. Virtualbox, VmWare seem to have the same EFI boot code & output

In another mail I discussed my adventures on netbooting syslinux 6.03 and newer from iPXE, either from an emulated rom on qemu/kvm/ovmf or by chainloading via ipxe.efi onto a real HP Proliant DL360 gen9 piece of iron. You might have asked yourself, why chainload? Why not load it directly? Believe me, i tried. First I had to 'fix' my dhcpd.conf because HP probably read the docs on

Hello, I hope this doesn't bounce again... I'm having trouble passing control of the PXE process from PXELINUX to the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. I tried invoking "pxeboot" from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. This causes an error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I named pxeboot "pxeboot.0" and tried invoking pxeboot.0 from the

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. I have looked at PXElinux<http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX> to understand all this, but I'm very sorry I don't. I have managed to setup to boot from PXELinux, but I'm not an expert on how to setup a menu file for making a windows unattended installation. Could someone help me with that? Is there some kind of a forum for this or is it just by email?

Gene, As it happened I started working on this again just as you mailed me. It appears that PXE-E99 may also be related to MTFTP part of the PXE spec. IBM also says it has something to do with jumbo frames. I tried setting PXE.mtcp-ip to 0.0.0.0 to disable it but still no joy. The bootfile size shows up as zero because that relates to "option boot-size" in dhcp and doesn't seem to

Hello dear list, Using VMware I built a test setup of a server with dhcp, tftp and a http-server and several pxe-clients with EFI mode turned on. This setup worked, albeit with the exponential-like decay of IO rate I described earlier. The work-around of using HTTP works beautifully though. So it was time for the next step. Migrate this setup to our automated testing environment that runs

This got me closer, but it got to "Encapsulating winpe.wim..." and never went through the rest of the way. Ultimately PXELINUX apparently timed out and the machine rebooted. Here is relative portion of pxelinux: LABEL SCCM OSD Boot MENU LABEL ^2. SCCM OSD Boot com32 linux.c32 append wimboot initrdfile=bootmgr.exe,BCD,boot.sdi,winpe.wim TEXT HELP

Adding an option for initrdfile= boot argument to be ignored by wimboot worked just fine. They can add this patch, which is probably most sane, or syslinux could add the INITRDFILE configuration option instead of having to append the option for linux.c32 wimboot-2.4.0/src/cmdline.c @ Line ~107 } else if ( key == cmdline ) { /* Ignore unknown initial
