similar to: Mboot.c32 and LUKS

Hi all, I'm attempting to PXE boot ESXi, which uses the syslinux mboot.c32 module. The mboot.c32 included with ESXi seems to be an older version that runs into an "out of memory loading.." problem halfway through, even though the box has 8GB memory. This may be related to NUMA, since it works fine on an older box but not the newer blade. I saw that some non-contiguous memory issues

You need your boot partition unencrypted; the initial ramdisk or ESXi

Hi, I have had a VMware ESXi network boot setup for quite some time now. After upgrading from 4.06 to 5.01 (or 5.10-pre3) the network boot fails with the following error: --- snip --- Failed to load COM32 file esxi/5.1.0/mboot.c32 boot: --- snip --- This error is seen for the ESXi bootup only. The default mboot.c32 from syslinux itself doesn't work and this setup has been working with

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux 3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

Hi all, I've started writing a new mboot.c32 using the Syslinux native APIs; it is currently on the new-mboot branch of the Syslinux git repository. However, I don't have a huge number of things which use Multiboot set up to test, so I'd really appreciate it if you're a user of mboot.c32 to help me try this and report back positive or negative. I don't have the Solaris DHCP

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

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'm seeing this on a HP Blade and i'm not sure why this is happning since the nature of the issue is so wierd. I compiled mboot.c with a DEBUG defined in the mboot.c file. In the funciton init_mmap(), it prints the e820 map and on the HP blade this map values come out to be totally random. Some weird numbers which dont make any sense at all.

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

Under EFI/BOOT are the following files: BOOTIA32.EFI (from efi32/efi/syslinux.efi) BOOTX64.EFI (from efi64/efi/syslinux.efi) ldlinux.sys (copied from root of partition) lua.c32 mboot.c32 menu.c32 syslinux.cfg vesamenu.c32 KS.CFG (vmware specific) BOOT.CFG (vmware specific) autoselect.lua These files are also all under the root of the partition (except BOOTIA32.EFI and BOOTX64.EFI) and work fine

I recognize hardware with Lua and execute the ESXi installer with configuration files for that hardware. This works fine with normal Syslinux boot, but I want to get it working for UEFI boot as well. I found?efi64/efi/syslinux.efi and efi32/efi/syslinux.efi in the installer source, copied them and named them respectively?BOOTX64.EFI and?BOOTIA32.EFI in USBDISK:\EFI\BOOT. These were also the
