similar to: pxelinux server's IP address

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Greetings all, Is there currently any mechanism in pxelinux the would send a mac address of the pxe booted interface through to the linux kernel much like ipappend can send the ip address? Kickstarting a system with multiple interfaces can be troublesome. ksdevice is helpful but only in some circumstances such as forcing eth0, but that doesn't always work since probe order changes depending

folks, Im trying to boot to runlevel 4 explicitly, using this stanza: ie with a single 4 at end of APPEND line.

Hello, I have the following problem. I am trying to pxeboot a virtual machine using Sun's Virtualbox. I am trying to experiment with the menu options of pxelinux and this is my pxelinux.cfg/default file. # generated by fai-chboot for host cdbexample with IP 172.16.31.200 default menu.c32 prompt 0 default fai-generated timeout 300 #ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu LABEL fai-generated

Hello all, I understand that during PXE boot, it goes into the pxelinux.cfg and it states: 1. "it will search for the config file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B (you can use the included progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try

Hi list, I have installed DHCP, PXE and the TFTP-Server tftp-hpa. I'm running Debian Woody on my server and I want to boot a PXE-Client with this server. I have installed all as it is described in the docs found on the net. Under root: /tftpboot/ /tftpboot/X86PC/linux /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/messages /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/linux.0 /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/vmlinuz

Hello everyone, I am using pxelinux to boot kernel from network, which goes ok. But when root must be mounted from NFS, I get the following code: Looking up port 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error 22 portmap: RPC call returned error 22 ROOT-NFS: unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error

I seem to be having trouble getting the NFS root filesystem to mount after the kernel boots. As per thread from 2002 16 January (http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-January/000028.html), I double checked my DHCP config files, but to no avail. It cannot seem to attach to the mountd port on the bootserver. Here is some output from the kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices) Intel(R) PRO/1000

1. \ at end of lines (in pxelinux.cfg/default, etc) causing/allowing line-wrap ? for those of us who prefer 80 column screens, and 1 item per line. 2. label-specific APPEND adds onto global APPEND ( currently replaces it IIUC ) maybe this needs a separate keyword ADDAPPEND (255 char limit still applies im sure) 3. strip trailing # comments ( I havent verified that it

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

Okay, now, before 3.10 is finalized... what bug reports am I still forgetting? -hpa

I'm trying to boot RedHat 9.0 on a diskless PC from a head machine running Redhat 9.0. The network appears to be setup correctly. I can boot the installation disk image fine using pxelinux. What I am trying to setup is a number of different Linux systems each with its own root directory on the head machine. I am hoping that I don't have to modify the kernel for any of these systems.

intel etherexpress pro 100 nics at my lan, server with tftp, nfsserver and pxelinux running for about half a year at my lan. Hi, When I use a kernel v.2.4.20 the pxe boot loads the pxefiles, kernel and then stops asking for files from the server and complains about a "Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up." and messages about to insert a disk... ... the same .config used with

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

Hi all I'm trying to resolve a problem that's recently popped up by turning on auxillary VLANs for our Linux workstations. The problem shows as DHCP failling for anaconda (but always succeeds for PXE). I tried adding 'ipappend 1' to the pxelinux config files but had no joy. I'm thinking that if I write a COM32 module that adds "ip=1.2.3.4 gateway=1.2.3.1

Hi, I am trying to boot the PXEclient via pxeserver and I am getting an error "file not found", following are me setup in the /tftpboot: /tftpboot: initrd.img linuz pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg default (lower case) in the default file: # This is the default pxelinux config file.
