similar to: tftp file size limit: pxelinux.0 vs. syslinux.efi

All, I was excited to hear about EFI boot support in pxelinux >= 6.00. So I tried it. Not working. I've tried 6.02 (from source), 6.02 (from RPM), early 6.03 (from RPM) and even pulled/compiled latest source from git. 6.0.3-pre7. No love. My boot client can boot/image fine in legacy PXE mode. My dhcpd.conf looks like this: # In initial DHCP DISCOVER packet, PXE client sets option

Dear people on the Syslinux Mailinglist, Are there any known problems with the performance of TFTP in (U)EFI environments in general or maybe just on VMWare? Right now I'm running tests on two virtual environments using either VMWare Workstation 11.1.0 on a Fedora 21 system or VMWare Player 7.1.0 on an Ubuntu 14.10 system. Both virtual systems support PXE booting in UEFI mode. Both systems

We have a working PXE setup. I've tried to adapt it to UEFI as per RHEL6 manual, but the client won't boot. Strangely, tcpdump shows that the client tries to download all files via tftp from the dhcp server rather than the tftp server (they are different). next-server is pointing to the tftp server. Any clues?

Hi all - I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask this here, but I don't see this question explicitly answered anywhere. Is there an EFI version of "pxelinux.0" that will function basically the same way and read the same pxelinux.cfg/default menu files? I've got a really dodgy grubx64.efi EFI PXE menu up at work, but it can't load the 1.2 gigabyte LiveCD that we use

There are no pre-compiled binaries (official or otherwise) on kernel.org. I assume what is meant is https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ At least, that is where the "downloads" page of syslinux.org directs you. Under there are the various source tarballs (tar.gz format, tar.bz2 format). Also a directory called RPMS/. But that kernel.org RPMS/ directory is devoid of

Hey guys, We are going with WDS to fire up first to get the benefits of targeted M$ deployments. If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off anything you want to including PXELinux. The stuff I was talking about before with PXELinux not working in

http://www.niallbrady.com/2014/06/11/when-uefi-network-booting-on-a-hyperv-gen-2-vm-you-might-get-pxe-e99-unexpected-network-error/ P.S. It's not this and I'm getting a PXE-E99 tftp failure "Unexepected Network Error", so I'll guess I'll need to investigate what kind of TFTP server makes hyper-v happy. Virtualbox, VmWare seem to have the same EFI boot code & output

Goal: To have one USB drive capable of booting UEFI IA32 and UEFI X64 (with an optional Syslinux menu containing multiple entries). Problem (solved) #1: The default directory location for both syslinux.efi is the same. Solution #1: Rename each syslinux.efi to bootx64.efi and to bootia32.efi. Problem (solved) #2: Each syslinux.efi needs at least its respective ldlinux module. Solution #2:
