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

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to get a computer to boot from it's local disk automatically after the pxe menu times out. I installed syslinux-3.11-4 with yum onto CentOS 5.5 It boots to the local disk if I select Local from the menu and press enter but it never times out and boots localy. The AUTOBOOT message doesn't appear either. Which instructions in the PXELINUX

Hi syslinux experts, So, I have a pxe boot tree that looks something like this: /menu.cfg /linux /ubuntu /amd64 /meerkat (contains a mirror of the netboot ubuntu image) If I set the following in the appropriate stanza of my dhcpd.conf (for isc dhcpd v3), I can boot the ubuntu installer: filename "linux/ubuntu/amd64/meerkat/pxelinux.0"; next-server <tftp_server_ip>; I would

I have tried to get this working SO many times, everywhere I look on the web tells me i have this correct.

I have worked in IT for several years and programming or anything related to this is not exactly one of my strengths. I need help creating a vesamenu.. Im trying to setup up so I can access my Acronis backup and disaster recovery 10 server, knoppix live cd, hardware diagnostics - pcdoctor and maybe a hiren type boot cd. I checked the Linux irc channel which I guess is now abandoned. If anyone

Folks, Are there updated instructions on how to set up PXE boot under CentOS 5.x? I found that the system-config-netboot RPM has been absent, and the instructions written reference it, with a bug report not yet closed on Red Hat.

I'm attempting to do a PXE boot and at the point where it tries to load the kernel the process hangs. My default config file looks like this: default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=10000 ks=nfs:172.16.0.1:/kickstart/ks/cfg Does this look like a problem with the kernel or with the append line? Thanks; Dennis

Hi everybody, I'm a french student employed to develop the boot loader of some commercial kernel (real time one). Since the goal is to have a universal x86 netboot I had to use PXE apis. However I have troubles using them. Since our kernel is not GPL based I can't just patch syslinux for our purpose. I tryed to make a very simple netboot loader using intel doc but I was not able to

Hello, I run a cluster for computer game servers which are started on demand by users who book them. I have 15 nodes, some of them netbooted, some of them not. Recently i replaced a couple of old netbooted machines with new ones (with harddrives) for better performance. Inside the new boxes i used NICs from the old machines that i had taken out of the cluster and netboot. A day or so

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like
