Hello, I have a Soekris net4501, which I'm PXE booting using pxelinux. Everything seems to be working splendidly, except for the fact that I can't seem to make pxelinux understand use the net4501's serial console port correctly. The net4501 uses the serial console as its primary interface; I'm using a null modem cable and minicom to operate with it. At boot, its startup

And indeed pxelinux.0 goes much further than lpxelinux.0! I have a few issues yet to fix: * Undef symbol FAIL: __syslinux_debug_enabled (I must have done something wrong while building) * find proper fix for

OK, so, with unpatched official binaries: 3.86 ---- pxelinux.0 Loads fine, assumes terminal width 15, displays menu, but then freezes (I suspect it does not process any input from the serial port) gpxelinux.0 Displays: PXE->EB: !PXE at 9E64:0060, entry point at 9E64:00F6 UNDI code segment

Hi All, I have a net4501 box with 16mb flash. Tried booting with lilo from flash but in vain.I guess syslinux will work for me.I have necessary equipment to mount flash onto a linux machine.After experimenting with syslinux i found syslinux is not writing MBR onto the flash.has anybody successfully booted flash? regards, Ravi -- The views presented in this mail are completely mine. The

Hi All, I have a Soekris 4801 running Asterisk and I tried to add a X100P FXO card only to find that the Soekris will not boot with the card installed. The LEDs flash for a second and then nothing, it does not boot. I've tried 2 different X100p cards, both of which work in a regular desktop system, and still have no luck. I tried a different Soekris 4801 with no luck. I've also tried a

Hi group, i'm brand new and i would like to ask about soekris hardware. I read along the web but i have some doubts that i think can be solved here. My question are the following: 1) does the Digium TDM400P fit in the soekris box with a 4801 SBC or a bigger box is needed? Any suggestions about where to pick up another box? 2) does the Digium TDM100P (already discontinued) fits fine in a

I thought I saw a Soekris embedded in the Digium booth photos, can you run Asterisk on one of these? How? I'd be interested in it for a back pbx, given the reliability. In fact, might want to move my home pbx to this also. Chris Mason

Hello - I've been running Asterisk (quite happily!) for several years now using a Digium TDM400P card in an old Linux box (P4 1.6 w/ 256MB RAM). I'm also running another old PC running m0n0wall as a firewall. Between these two boxes, that run 24x7, I'm drawing a lot more power than needed and hoping to make a dent in my monthly electric bill by consolidating the two into a single box

Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet bridge? For example something like a net4801 with a TE110p in it and then using TDMoE to get it into a bigger server where the call processing proper will occur. Anyone know if it might handle a quadspan card ok? (no transcoding, just pure PRI to TDMoE bridging). Craig

I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

Hello, Recently I have discovered a problem with serial console output when net-booting a Soekris net5501 board via pxe. When using pxelinux.0 from syslinux 4.04 package I get only 15 characters from the output, then the carriage returns back to the same line over and over again, making it impossible to read the output. What is more the booting process (trying configuration files with

Hi, I am still struggling with the E1 card!!!! Does anyone has some experience with sangoma E1 card? I have this card in soekris net 4801. First I was runnig it with deactivated DMA and I was receiving overruns (even with no channels in use). Then I enabled the DMA. Now I have the overruns only during a call. When I'm using more than one channel, the voice is stuttering and the delay is very

I'm working with a Soekris net45xx SBC and I'm experiencing problems using any syslinux code (syslinux, pxelinux, extlinux) above version 2.20. I'm interfacing with the Soekris via the serial console port, which is the primary bios console. I've tried different configurations with setting serial in the config file, but no change (though I dont even thing it's getting to reading

1. \ at end of lines (in pxelinux.cfg/default, etc) causing/allowing line-wrap ? for those of us who prefer 80 column screens, and 1 item per line. 2. label-specific APPEND adds onto global APPEND ( currently replaces it IIUC ) maybe this needs a separate keyword ADDAPPEND (255 char limit still applies im sure) 3. strip trailing # comments ( I havent verified that it
