need advice: runing gpxelinux.0 without tftp
Hi,
?I happily use gpxelinux.0 in subnets where nic-embedded pxe stack can
load it from a tftp server pointed by the dhcp daemon.
Now I'd like to know the best way to run gpxelinux.0 in a special
subnets, where no tftp trafic is allowed, http is served through a
reverse proxy, and dhcp is ok.
I tried "gpxe on local media (rom/iso/floppy/usb) -> gpxelinux.0" with
limited success

SYSLINUX 3.70-pre7: a very special prerelease
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.

Syslinux 3.70pre9 - sanboot.c32 says: gPXE API not detected'
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:

TFTP URL support in 4.x
Hello,
I saw this in the release notes for 4.00:
"PXELINUX: TFTP URL syntax (tftp://) supported even when not running
gPXE/gpxelinux"
I can't find any info describing this new functionality (searched wiki
and mailing list), I'm guessing you can now use tftp:// in the paths, e
g:
LABEL mylabel
KERNEL tftp://servername/path/to/mykernel

Correct?

gpxelinux questions
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

Problems with gpxelinux and Broadcom 57711
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:

gpxelinux 3.70pre7 - keeppxe problem
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

How to support iSCSI multipath...
Hi Bootmeisters,
I am using gpxelinux.0 + sanboot.c32 to boot a diskless machine into Linux. I
would like to use device-mapper-multipath to provide fault tolerant access to
its root disk.
Although I am able to do this by hardcoding the additional paths in the initrd,
it would be better if the bootloader could pass the information in the iBFT
(iSCSI Boot Firmware Table). However, at the

gpxelinux.0: pxechain to another NBP then RET fails
IRC user ernini first noticed this. We both tried using
gpxe/gpxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22. ernini used pxechain to a
commercial NBP which RETs (the same as PXELINUX) and failed. Both of
us had success with core/pxelinux.0 from Syslinux-4.04-pre22.
For my test, I have a VM in VMware Server 2.0.2 (VMHW v7). I loaded
gpxelinux.0 using the VM's built-in PXE ROM. Then I used

[gpxelinux] How to use sanboot.c32 to attach a iscsi lun and then boot from CD
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:

gpxelinux feature request
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

Last call for Syslinux 3.70
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...

gpxelinux.0 and slow HTTP performance on VMware ESX
Hi,
I found this message in your online mail archive, i have found the same problem and did some research in the past on this. Maybe you would be interested to know it is a problem on any virtualisation product not just ESX. Second it is a problem in gPXE that you embedded in gPXElinux. The problem was build in gPXE after version 0.97 so any gPXElinux build a newer version has this problem. I

PXELinux / gPXE no IP by DHCP
Hello everyone
I am experiencing problems with PXELinux/gPXE when netbooting using HTTP.
The problems I encounter:
- When the intel bootROM is sending out a DHCPDISCOVER it might not
recieve an IP address, but the server did send out a OFFER. Capturing
packets reveals the packets have been sent, and the client _should_ have
recieved it.
But when it passes that stage:
- When the gPXE bootROM is

Strange behavior
I'm using syslinux 4.04 with dynamically generated menus configuration based
on info found in various web pages. I'm doing my testing using a vCetner

Confusion on lpxelinux vs. gpxelinux vs. ipxe vs gpxe.

A fork is a fork, regardless the reasons behind it (yes, I have some
understanding in this case). iPXE is based off of forking further
development as of a certain gPXE commit with some backporting of gPXE
development to iPXE.

[PATCH] ifgpxe.c32
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:

Confusion on lpxelinux vs. gpxelinux vs. ipxe vs gpxe.
Hi All,
I've been trying to understand how to use pxechn.c32 to chain a local
pxelinux menu item to a remote server which has it's own pxelinux hierarchy
served via TFTP and HTTP.
We have no control over DHCP next-server and filename fields so I wanted to
exploit the "prefix" -p option that pxechn.c32 accepts.
I spent a long time hitting my head against a brick wall until I
