Hello, I am experimenting with pxelinux. My setup is currently working. My network card receives IP address from DHCP server, and then it downloads pxelinux.0 and executes it. PXElinux loads its config file ('pxelinux.cfg/default') and is able to download vmlinuz and initrd.gz from TFTP server, and execute vmlinuz. Now the question: is there any way to pass server's IP address as a

Hello. Some time ago, everything worked for me. But now it is very strange, it does no more work (using exactly the same setup) Do you have any idea how to find out what's wrong? Here is my situation: I am trying to boot over PXE. TFTP server is running. DHCP server is running from the same machine. Both by dnsmasq. TFTP server has the following files and directories:

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i

Hi We have setup a TFTP server on a server running Fedora Core 2. We have a network/router appliance that acts as our DHCP server. The DHCP server gives our workstations an IP address then directs them to our TFTP server looking for the boot file named pxelinux.0 . On the TFTP server we have a directory called tftpboot in this directory we have the following files: - memdisk -

Hi all Hi all. I have this working line in my Clonezilla Server: * APPEND initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia fetch=tftp://192.168.30.51/lis/hp/filesystem.squashfsocs_prerun="busybox tftp -g -r lis/hp/custom-ocs-1 -l /tmp/custom-ocs-1 192.168.30.51" ocs_prerun1="busybox tftp -g -r lis/hp/id_rsa -l /tmp/id_rsa 192.168.30.51"

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

Hello list, I am trying to prepare a USB disk with syslinux that is meant to be able to offer a choice among many different distributions. The goal is that I should be able to dump each distribution's CD contents into a separate subdirectory, and have a master menu that hands off to each distribution's subdirectory. A while back, when faced with a similar task on a PXE server, I came

Hi, I just replaced the pxelinux.0 of some 2.x version by pxelinux.0 vers. 3.0.7. Some of the PXE Clients refused to boot thereafter (just stopped after reading the config file). I noticed that the APPEND line was too long. Is this intentional? What is the maximum length of the APPEND option line? Thanks, Thomas

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

I understand that the action of pxelinux has changed so that when "quiet" is specified in append you no longer see the progress of the kernel and init image download. My question is, is it possible to have pxelinux be verbose (ie: show progress), but then pass quiet to the linux kernel so it is quiet. I run a downstream project that uses pxelinux and I wanted to know if this is

Hello! SSIA - when syslinux sees 'BOOT_IMAGE=' on the append line, something seems to go terribly wrong (didn't investigate in detail). You don't even get to see a boot-prompt, even if you try to force it. pxelinux shows the same problem, so I figure it's something generic in the config parser ... Best regards, Andreas P.S: and thanks for this software ;) -- "The

So that's me again. I searched all the time in the maillists and so on and found this documentation http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2005-06/0110.html did everything like it was described there but when i try to boot with pxelinux i get following: could not find kernel image: linux boot: my tftpd was started without chroot, so the path to kernel is /tftpboot/memdisk

Having fought my PXE config and eventually getting it to work (had to comment out the group { } statments ? I now come across another issue I cannot resolve and would appreciate some help. in my /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file I have cause to use the APPEND statement to pass options to the kernel being used. Unfortunately this line has now become longer than 255 characters and appears to be

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].
