Hello, on a somewhat recent machine (Dell T1600) I'm unable to use my usual setup (pxelinux as a boatloader also for local OS - typically windows). The BIOS is capable of using UEFI, but this is turned off. Unfortunately all I get is a message telling me that pxelinux is unable to boot from local disk. The config entry looks like this: LABEL local MENU LABEL OS installed on local disk

Hello, are there known issues with some bioses not booting from Superfloppy format? All I get is the Syslinux (c) line and nothing else happens afterwords. Everything works fine if a partition is added to the device. Unfortunately however the target device can not be partitioned. Any hint?

Hello, up to now I have been using plain pxelinux with symbolic links (IP or MAC-Address) to the machine dependent defaults. This has been working fine with minimal differences in the configuration files: --default-lenny-- DEFAULT lenny INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-options INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-kernels ----------------- --default-squeeze-- DEFAULT squeeze INCLUDE

Hello, looks like Asterisk (at least the Version 1.4.21.2 from debian lenny, which I use) has a serious Problem with pseudo-realtime mode (-p switch) in conjunction with recent Kernels. Whenn using -p Asterisk simply hangs forever on startup. This is almost certainly related to the CFS SCHED_FIFO changes: http://lwn.net/Articles/296419/ Do you know how a workaround or patch how to run asterisk

Hello, I'm currently running a test setup with Samba4 internal DNS (Version 4.1.5 from Debian backports) and 2 clients (Linux and a Windows). Everything seems to work so far. However, I do not manage to get automatic PTR generation working. I'm using the internal DNS at the moment, but I wouldn't mind changing to bind if this will make it work. While reverse DNS seem to work with

Question for people... Has anyone actually tried running PXELINUX on top of Etherboot? There is something in Etherboot 5.1.7 called FREEBSD_PXEEMU, which seems to be a PXE stack subset, in particular it seems to support the following calls: PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO PXENV_UDP_OPEN PXENV_UDP_WRITE PXENV_UDP_READ PXENV_UDP_CLOSE PXENV_UNLOAD_STACK PXENV_UNDI_SHUTDOWN This happens to be pretty

Hi, I think it is great that samba4 has a single sign on solution for Windows platforms and it seems to work well too, but I am wondering is it possible to do the same for a Linux environment?

Dear syslinux users, I am trying to move Kernel and initrd images away from the root directory of my bootable Partition. Looks like this is not possible. While it seems to work with pxelinux, it does not seem to work when using syslinux and FAT. I tried the following: label foo kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/initrd Ideally it would be even possible to move syslinux.cfg into

Hi there, slightly off-topic, but probably of interest on this list. In the meantime there are freely available PXE Bootroms for lots of cards. I'm aware of Intel, 3com and Realtek based cards. I'm still looking for a PXE-Bootrom for Tulip based Cards though! Would be nice to have a List of some sort on the PXElinux homepage. So here is one Link I'm aware of:

Hi there, I try to boot from an USB Pen-Drive. This works fine on my Laptop, but when I try to change to the target machine it almost takes five minutes until the initrd (fairly big, 18MB) has been loaded.

Dear Samba List, I just updated my samba setup from an older Version (3.0.22) to 3.0.24 (Debian Version). Now unfortunately "valid users" does not work anymore.

Hello, for some strange reason I can not get quota to work with Samba 3.5.8. The quoata system itself works fine (using "repquota /mountpoint") and via NFS, but Samba does not report the correct free space (df command in smbclient). Instead the real free space on the disk volume is shown to smb clients (tested from Windows and smbclient). The quotasystem in use is the new quota
