similar to: 3.70 without "finished" gpxelinux.0?

I stumbled across the following patch and wondered if it wouldn't be a good idea to have it included. http://foldingcd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/foldingcd/trunk/folding_cd/patches/syslinux-3.51-64bit.patch?revision=5 It adds a default64 keyword and detection of a 64bit processor. It could be useful for mixed environments. The patch is against 3.51, but looks like it would port

Hallo, if I try to PXE-boot a debian/ubuntu/clonezilla/debianlike live CD (with a directory "live", just for recognising this type) via LABEL clonezilla MENU LABEL ^Clonezilla (iso) kernel memdisk append iso initrd iso/clonezilla.iso that doesn't work: This Debian Live image failed to boot. ... ... The error message was Unable to find a medium containing a

Dear syslinux list members, I'm a newbie on this list. I hope I don't offend anyone by being slightly off-topic. I had the problem of wanting multiple Linux distros (i.c. Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, SuSE, RedHat, CentOS, Fedora) installable from a single PXELinux menu, so I wrote a couple of scripts that do what is described below. The question is whether anyone would be interested in

The default path is /var/run/tftpd-hpa.pid, which can be overridden by the newly introduced -P option. On normal termination (SIGTERM or SIGINT) the pid file is automatically removed. Moved setting the umask later, right before entering the select loop, so that it does not affect the permissions of the pid file.

Hi, this is a forward from the debian bug tracking system, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595170: "syslinux for Windows provides the options -m (write an MBR) and -a (make partition active). These options make it easy to provide instructions for Windows users to make a bootable USB drive: just run "syslinux -m -a" on the drive, then drop some files on the drive

Hi, since version 0.12, btrfs-progs fails to build from source (FTBFS) on IA64. I've not looked into the issue yet, but though I'll just let you know about it already. The buildlog can be seen on: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=ia64&pkg=btrfs-tools&ver=0.12-1 Regards, Daniel -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email:

Hi, recently, tftp-hpa has started to fail to build on mips and mipsel with the following error: ---snip--- [...] make -C tftpd [...] gcc -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -I/build/buildd/tftp-hpa-5.0 -c

First let me say I'm really excited about the possibility of dynamic menu creation over http using php. When this is stable it will make maintinging some of our pxelinux infrastructure much easier. Id like to thank all involved; I'm really looking forward to the gpxe intigration. After hpa's announment for 3.70pre7 I begain testing. I dropped the new gpxelinux.0 and new c32 modules

Hi all, I have just released syslinux-3.70-pre25. Unless someone has something big and scary that either I have managed to miss or was just stumbled over, I'm going to release 3.70 final some time between tomorrow and Monday. Thus, *please holler now* if there are any stop-ship problems still known... -hpa

Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

I have a situation very similar to whats in http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-January/019251.html The server is setup to provide info over dhcp+tftp and I'm planning on chaning that to dhcp+http so I copied gpxelinux.0 to pxelinux.0 and started failing. The client (in my case it's a hp proliant BL460c G7) manage to get gpxelinux.0 loaded but when it comes to load the config file it

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, but I would appreciate a pointer. I have tried to rtfm, but find the docs a little sparse wrt pxechain.comand gpxelinux.0. I am trying to setup a pxe chain server (aka chainloading?) where one of the entries on one pxe server forwards to another (cobbler, in this case). I know this works fine with traditional pxelinux.0 images, but it's

Hello, I'm playing with gpxelinux, it's works but ... In my dhcpd.conf I have the traditional: option space gpxelinux; option gpxelinux-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxelinux; option gpxelinux.bus-id code 177 = string; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { host essai { hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55; fixed-address 192.168.0.62; if not exist

Hi Peter et al, Just wanted to let you know my heartfelt appretiation of what you and the other devs have done in integrating gpxe and pxelinux... it works wonderfully well for me... I simply swapped my pxelinux.0 for my gpxelinux.0 and modified my pxelinux.cfg/default to use urls to refer to the kernel and initial ram disk images and it worked perfectly (dns resolution and all). This is a huge

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

I have produced a first cut of integrating gPXE with PXELINUX. This builds, in addition to the usual pxelinux.0, an image called gpxelinux.0 which includes the gPXE network stack. The result is that one can now download images via (almost) any network protocol supported by gPXE, including http. This lets one do fun things like using a CGI or PHP script for the configuration file. SAN

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

I have a lab in which I keep all my computers set to try network boot first that way it is easy to put a file in pxelinux.cfg of the mac address of a faulty machine and have it build itself or run diagnostics. Up till recently I used pxelinux.0. I have been trying out gpxelinux so that I can use its http fuctionality to download initrd images faster to boot. I just discovered that its local boot

Hi All, A while back there was some mention that gpxe may acquire the ability to receive command-line parameters. I'd dearly love if this could become a reality. It would be fantastic if we could have a pxelinux menu config as follows: KERNEL gpxelinux.0 APPEND config http://someserver.net/gpxe-for-this-box.cfg This would solve a huge number of our problems since we don't have the

Hello syslinux mailing list, I've been working on a kind of system administration tool ( http://twyna.sourceforge.net/) with a colleague of mine for our Computer Science Bachelor degree internship. I hope I'm saying that right :) We use gPXELinux to boot over a web service and it's all working marvellously, except for the localboot bug. Until now we've used chain.c32 to solve
