Hi, As requested on IRC, here are the step-by-step instructions to reproduce the failure I see: On http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-1.0.1/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php: output format: .dsk NIC type: e1000_82540 x CONSOLE_PCBIOS x CONSOLE_SERIAL BANNER_TIMEOUT: 20 COMCONSOLE: 0x3F8 _ COMPRESERVE COMSPEED: 57600 COMDATA: 8 COMPARITY: 0 COMSTOP: 1 x DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP x DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTP _

Hi Peter, Looks like I hit something between 3.71 and current git. With the following config: ---------- serial 0 19200 0x013 prompt 0 timeout 100 default menu.c32 label desktop localboot 0 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 ipappend 2 ---------- this command (invoking QEMU 0.9.1 with the attached rom-o-matic extension rom) qemu -hda

Hi, ?I happily use gpxelinux.0 in subnets where nic-embedded pxe stack can load it from a tftp server pointed by the dhcp daemon. Now I'd like to know the best way to run gpxelinux.0 in a special subnets, where no tftp trafic is allowed, http is served through a reverse proxy, and dhcp is ok. I tried "gpxe on local media (rom/iso/floppy/usb) -> gpxelinux.0" with limited success

This makes is_gpxe() recognize gPXE's COMBOOT implementation as gPXE. Previously, is_gpxe() only recognized PXELINUX loaded from gPXE.

All (and hpa in particular), I know that the question in the subject line of this message may come across as a bit silly, given that PXElinux is not a DHCP server, but hear me out... Those of you who have been working on PXE-booting Windows PE instances or the new Windows installer images that make use of the Windows Boot Manager and ".wim" files may have come across the general

Hello again, * TFTP and DHCP started using: dnsmasq --port=0 \ --no-daemon \ --enable-tftp \ --tftp-root=/run/archiso/bootmnt \ --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,86400 \ --dhcp-boot=/arch/boot/syslinux/gpxelinux.0 \ --dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg \ --dhcp-option-force=210,/arch * and for DHCP+HTTP

Hi Hpa and all I am confused about some function of pxelinux and gpxelinux/gpxe. 1, after I read the document (http://edgyu.excess.org/ols/2008/H%20Peter%20Anvin%20-%20x86%20network%20bo oting%3a%20integrating%20gPXE%20and%20PXELINUX.pdf), I knew there are two major module in standard gPXE, PXE BC and UNDI. And I can understand why I need to produce different boot file for different NIC from

Hi, excuse me if I make any faux-pas this is the first time I've posted to a list. Can someone confirm that it is possible to PXE boot a KVM virtual machine from another KVM virtual machine? I have a virtual x86_64 Centos 6.2 server running DHCP and TFTP. The plan is to kickstart a new KVM machine - purely so I can get my head around PXE and kickstart (I've not used either before).

IRC user ernini first noticed this. We both tried using gpxe/gpxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. ernini used pxechain to a commercial NBP which RETs (the same as PXELINUX) and failed. Both of us had success with core/pxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. For my test, I have a VM in VMware Server 2.0.2 (VMHW v7). I loaded gpxelinux.0 using the VM's built-in PXE ROM. Then I used

Does anyone have a module they have wrote and are willing to share to measure the time an image takes to download? As my last post indicates, I am experimenting with gPXE, and am interested in benchmarking tftp/lighttpd/apache for transfers of images / files. I sadly lack any real programming skills, and get called away from my desk enough that sitting there with a stop watch isn't

Hallo I have a kvm vm that I am attempting to boot from pxe. The dhcp works perfectly and I can see the VM in the pxe server arp. but the tftp just times out. I don't see any tftp traffic on either the physical host or on the pie server. I am using a bridged interface. I have tried using several virtual nic drivers, several different mac addresses and several different ips. on the physical

Hello. We are using gpxelinux from SYSLINUX 4.02. We recently purchased some HP Proliant BL460c G6 servers with Broadcom BCM 57711 10Gbit NICS. We have a very simple pxelinux.gpxe script compiled into gpxelinux.0: #!gpxe set use-cached 1 dhcp net0 chain http://webserver/gpxe/gpxe.php?IP=${net0/ip} The PHP script dynamically creates a config file that looks something like this: #!gpxe set

Hi Folks, I'm trying to auto-create a VM using a kickstart server and gPXE with my VMs. The underlying physical host is CentOS 6.0 running libvirt-0.8.1-27, and libvirt-python 0.8.1-27, virt-manager 0.8.4-8. The underlying network config on the physical host is: # ip -o -4 addr show 1: lo inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 6: vnet0 inet 10.8.31.61/23 brd 10.8.31.255 scope global vnet0 7:

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

Once upon a time, isdtor <isdtor at gmail.com> said: > Yes, it looks like I'm out of luck and need to find a newer machine to test this with. Moving the tftp server works to an extent - server boots right into a grub prompt. Weird. I have a couple of Intel-based systems that do UEFI PXE boot okay, but they're much newer than the 11th gen PowerEdge (I have some of those still in
