One is 64bit and almost 90MB and the 32bit is 85MB. I know that some tftpd

Hello, we have the following problem: - a new Dell Optiplex 740 boots pxelinux.0 - loads the kernel - start to load the miniroot.gz and crashs after loading about 1/5 of the miniroot The tftpd messages are: Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Advanced Trivial FTP server started (0.7) Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Serving /linux/pxelinux.0 to 10.10.100.113:2070 Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

I am trying to use Syslinux as my boot loader for a stripped down version of Knoppix (DSL) on a USB Pen Drive. I followed the instructions verbatim on http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/knoppix-usb.html, but no luck. The system will start to boot to the USB, but gives a Kernel Panic. I will give all information that shows on the screen. After I select Boot from USB (which on my

Attached is a patch for the latest tftp-hpa. This patch add support for named pipes. Named pipes are 0 byte files which can be read by a PXE boot process. They provide the necessary informations for the boot process and are deleted afterwards. This PXE boot is a single event and won't interact until another named pipe is created for the client. -- Mathias Radtke ---

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

Let me thank everyone in advance. I''ve read a number of posts here and it helped tremendously in getting the install done. I have a couple of remaining issues which I can''t seem to overcome. Here are the basics: dom0 - CentOS 5.2 32-bit Xen 3.2.1 compiles from source domU - os200805.iso The install config: [root@internetpowagroup oshman]# cat opensolaris.install name =

Working to get ZFS to run on a minimal Solaris 10 U2 configuration. In this scenario, ZFS is included the miniroot which is booted into RAM. When trying to share one of the filesystems, an assertion is raised - see below. If the version of source on OpenSolaris.org matches Solaris 10 U2, then it looks like it''s associated with a popen of /usr/sbin/share. Can anyone shed any

Hello Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot solaris 10 on x86 . So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs . I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel argument appended with BOOTIF : here is what i use : LABEL solaris MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND multiboot kernel/unix

I dont know if this will be of any interest to you guys. I have a lexar 1GB flash drive. I used the mkdiskimage script and then did syslinux as described in the readme.usbkey. (the script took a REALLY long time too) I booted into 3.7 knoppix. Copied all the directories onto the key. Then copied the contents of the /boot dir into the root dir. I renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg I had
