similar to: ISOLinux, menu.c32 and PXE handoff?

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

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

Hi! The linux.c32 module doesn't boot my kernel, while pxelinux itself does: kernel vmlinuz-2.6.23 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root works, while kernel linux.c32 append vmlinuz-2.6.23 initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root does not: it stays sitting after loading the initrd without any output. Version 3.50-pre2 worked, current git does not work.

Dear developer, I am working on a project for my graduate work (diploma), which includes iSCSI and AOE booting. I made some menus using pxelinux and things are working fine with linux, but I have a small problem with windows system which require direct iscsi or aoe access. I have dhcpd.conf setup that it to each first dhcp request handles out pxelinux.0, then I can chooose from that menu which OS

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

Hello ! I am completely new to syslinux. I followed this instruction manually: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/pxe.html I am on debian and do not have syslinux installed, but using this debian box as a tftp server. I had to modify the instructions given by the installation above. I downloaded the 6.02 version and copied the files to the tftp root. I am using dnsmasq as a tftp

All (and hpa in particular), I know that the question in the subject line of this message may come across as a bit silly, given that PXElinux is not a DHCP server, but hear me out... Those of you who have been working on PXE-booting Windows PE instances or the new Windows installer images that make use of the Windows Boot Manager and ".wim" files may have come across the general

Hi, I have a working PXE environment that chainloads gPXE and loads pxelinux.0 afterwards. As I'm also interested in doing san boot (in my case aoe) I tried loading the new gpxelinux.0 file instead of my gPXE --> pxelinux.0 setup (works) and booting from my aoe target by adding this to the default config file: LABEL doaoe MENU LABEL Continue AoE kernel sanboot.c32 append

I need to write a custom .c32 module which can send information over to a separated service or tftp deamon. The goal is to send inventory information gathered in pxelinux to be transfered back to the inventory database without booting a kernel or os-image. Is this possible and if so, can you give me a hint how to realise this? Thanks, Daniel

Hi all If I use nfsroot boot the xen dom0, I find it works well if not use initrd-2.6.32.9.img. what does "initrd-2.6.32.9.img" contains?

Hello, I'm using iPXE to chain to menu.c32, here is the boot script: #!ipxe dhcp chain http://my-site/menu.c32 http://my-site/boot.php After ipxe promote "http://my-site/menu.c32...... ok", the machine hangs. Then I try to figure out where it does stop. First I put a printf() statement in In syslinux/com32/menu/menumain.c:main:, right after start_console(), then boot

Hi, I've been trying a couple of day now, but I can't seem to figure it out. On www.etherboot.org, I found the example of configuring gPXE so that it mounts an iSCSI lun and then boot from CDROM so you are able to install on the LUN. But if I use gpxelinux.0 (latest release 3.73), with sanboot.c32 like this: label sanboot2008srv menu label ^[iscsi] Windows server 2008 kernel

Hi, We currently use pxelinux and tftp-hpa for pxe booting new machines and installing our OS of choice. This has worked great for the past year, and just about every HP laptop we've tried so far has worked flawlessy, until now...? We recently bought a bunch of HP ProBook 6570b laptops but couldn't get them to work with our pxelinux setup. What we see is that the 6570b stops at the

ifgpxe.c32 is a com32 module that will run one command if gPXE extensions are available, and a different command if not. At VMware, we use this module to chain-load gpxelinux.0 from pxelinux.0. Both of those binaries use exactly the same configuration file, and this module allows us to differentiate between the two cases and break the infinite chain-loading loop that might result. Typical usage:

In PXELinux 4.06 (the vanilla version, not gpxelinux.0), I'm trying to use pxechn.c32 to call iPXE (undionly) with option 67 set to call an iPXE script. The relevant portion of my PXELinux config looks like this: LABEL MDT MENU LABEL ^B - MDT 2012 SP1 com32 pxechn.c32 APPEND undionly.kpxe -o 67.s=ipxe/mdt.ipxe However iPXE doesn't seem to get the option correctly, it goes into

Now that pxechain.com can work (with my patch to core/pxelinux.asm), a PXE Chainload COM32 is not as big of a deal but I agree with HPA that it would be a good idea, especially considering the possible flexibility that this may allow. For the moment, I've named the chain module pxechn.c32 in order to not collide with the name pxechain.com when not specifying the .com/.c32 extension.
