Good day, Pasi. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining the Syslinux mailing-list, if you haven't done so already. Is part of the problem description that the 'LOCALBOOT 0' directive does not behave as expected? If I'm not mistaken, I believe that 'LOCALBOOT 0' will return control to the computer's PXE boot ROM code. The PXE boot ROM code is then supposed to

I'm bringing back an old thread, but I'm still having problem with this: http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-March/000571.html The summary of that thread is that with gpxelinux.0, on some computers the command LOCALBOOT 0 will hang the computer. Around the same time as the original thread, there was a patch to add localboot -1. Also in the original thread, it was proposed to use

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

This is worth forwarding to SYSLINUX.

Hi, This is the first time I use syslinux mailing list, so I am sorry if I have made any mistake. Well, I follow this post : http://www.linuxbyexamples.net/2012/08/boot-winxp-from-http-server.html and I can successfully boot into winxp using gpxelinux.0 loading vhd image through http. This works well. But when the vhd image getting bigger than 512MB (I added some more files into the image),

Hello, This is my first post. Please forgive me if I am not posting this in the right location. I work at a college where we clone staff computer every now and then. We have an internal network in our office. There is a Linux NAT, DHCP, PXE server in our office separating the two networks. Internally, we PXE with images that boot into Ghost to clone computers. We do not have access to the

I have an interesting situation where I am loading gpxelinux.0 v3.72 from pxelinux.0 ( older ). I have a stanza that I use after loading gpxelinux such as : --- label pxelinux.new kernel pxelinux.new.0 label recovery.http kernel http://kickstart/pxelinux.new/vmlinuz-ramdisk append initrd=http://kickstart/pxelinux.new/ramdisk.img.gz ramdisk_size=358400 ramdisk_blocksize=1024

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

You're all back! (yippie!). Now I can ask the question that's been nagging at me over the past month... Is booting gpxelinux.0, under QEMU, which provides it's own GPXE capable boot rom supposed to work? Or, is it a redundant (the GPXE boot room already provides the functionality of gpxelinux.0) and suicidally dumb thing to do? I've found some references to other people

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

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

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

For me the motivation for gpxelinux.0 was the HTTP support. If this would work reliably in newer versions then I could happily live without a iPXE-based pxelinux.

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

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

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
