similar to: pxelinux failing to boot kernel

Hoping to find some help debugging an issue I'm having. I have 3 machines that are PXE booting Ubuntu. This morning they were running 17.04 and I decided to upgrade them to 17.10. All 3 machines use the same motherboard with onboard intel nic. After the upgrade, I made the necessary changes to the pxelinux.cfg file to add the new kernel. Now only 2 of the 3 machines boot. The other machine

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

Spike, There are multiple binaries that come with syslinux. I would highly recommend that you start with the official syslinux pre-built's of pre-7 on kernel.org. You will find inside an syslinux.efi in a 64 bit folder and one in an 32 bit folder. These are the files that you need to point your clients to for efi booting. pxelinux.0 is for bios booting only.

I found (and fixed) a problem with my realtek onboard 8139 controller. dhcpd server sends filename "pxelinux.0" but realtek requests "pxelinux.0\377" (i.e. the octal character 377 is appended), resulting in a file not found during the tftpd phase. I fixed this by adding a mapping to tftpd: # strip ending garbage from filenames (Realtek PXE bug) r ^([[:graph:]]*)(.+)$ \1

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

I have been using pxelinux with Intel 850 1.7 Ghz P4 motherboards using 10/100 ethernet switches for about a year in a multichannel visual generation system. We are shifting to SuperMicro P4SAA 2.8 Ghz P4 motherboards with onboard gigabit ethernet and gigabit ethernet switches. Put are hung up because the diskless slave nodes will not load the (Linux) kernel from the master 2.8 Ghz computer.

Hi. I'm hoping that someone on this list can help me with my problem. I've been looking on my own for a question for the past few hours at least, so hopefully this isn't just a FAQ. Anyhow, my problem is simple (to describe). The NIC's boot agent gets an IP address (verified with dhcpd), gets the pxelinux boot image and correct configuration file (verified with tftpd), and then

Hello all! I have a server at work that we're using for PXE OS installation and LiveCD loading. It's based on CentOS 7.3, and CentOS comes with Syslinux version 4.05. We've been having this issue, very rarely, with some systems that refuse to load a LiveCD from the menu, claiming they're "out of memory" when we know that is absolutely not the case; there's plenty

I want to see things, I'm not sure how quiet would work. Maybe next time I get the box I can re-put in the older working card and try to do a firmware upgrade. This does not seem distro specific. All versions of grub and syslinux do not work in the default configs. I will try using menu.c32 vs vesamenu.c32 as well. To see if it won't display. On Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 4:52 AM, Gene Cumm

If I omit --secure from the tftpd-hpa command line, I then need to e.g. `tftp -c get /var/lib/tftpboot/vmlinuz` instead of plain /vmlinuz, even though I pass /var/lib/tftpboot as the tftp dir in the tftpd-hpa command line. That essentially means that I'm exporting my whole /, which is clearly something I don't want to do. I basically want tftpd-hpa to serve files from /var/lib/tftpboot

Hello all! I'm hoping someone can help. I'm having 2 issues; first: When trying to load a CentOS LiveCD via PXE on an Intel NUC (NUC6CAY), I get: "Not enough memory to load specified image". The image is 1.1 gigs, and there is 16 gigs of memory in the NUC. To combat this, I found this forum post <https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1398> which suggested using

Hi! Indeed!, this sounds like good advice... there are certainly bugs, I had to get the 7.04.5 package from "proposed" to get resolve a PAM library issue!... although I suppose that's a packaging problem. What is the best way to get an updated Samba package here, I'm trying to make this system reproduceable, I have a single script that builds the entire container, and sets up

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to

I'm poking through Solaris documentation trying to figure out how to make it installable via our PXE server and, as with many things Solaris, I'm hitting walls of completely foreign procedures and setups. Has anyone managed to do this before? I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

Am I wrong to believe that pxelinux can't use syslinux configurtion files as is? I have a syslinux/isolinux setup that works fine in those environments, lets me boot a root file system based on different criteria. However, when I moved it over to pxelinux, i'm able to have it get an ip address over dhcp, fetch pxelinux.0 over tftp and seemingly fetch 'default' from

Ive got a mucho-kludgo (but working) setup where; pxe-client boots an os-du-jour in runlevel 2, rc.2 runs a test-script that ends in a reboot, meanwhile, on tftp-server host, a script watches the syslog, notes the arrival of an RRQ message for a kernel, and runs a program to rewrite the pxelinux.cfg/default file so that it causes a different kernel to boot the next time. This setup lets me

I noticed some links and suggestions on the SYSLINUX web site that reference how to run TFTP on Windows 2000 Server. Two of them suggest installing RIS, and one of them points to a third-party utility. I don't need to install RIS, because I don't want to run Windows setup over PXE. (In fact, I want to use PXELINUX to boot a DOS floppy and run Symantec Ghost to deploy an image.) Also, I
