This is worth forwarding to SYSLINUX.

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

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

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

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.

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, 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

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

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

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

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, but I would appreciate a pointer. I have tried to rtfm, but find the docs a little sparse wrt pxechain.comand gpxelinux.0. I am trying to setup a pxe chain server (aka chainloading?) where one of the entries on one pxe server forwards to another (cobbler, in this case). I know this works fine with traditional pxelinux.0 images, but it's

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

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

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

I have been looking at the etherboot site and at the syslinux/pxelinx sites trying to figure out how to use gpxe, and I am a bit confused. :) In a nutshell, I simply want to use http to grab the config and messages files. (I need those files to be dynamic.) I tried just replacing pxelinux.o with gpxelinux.0. But, gpxe complains (A LOT) about unrecognized commands. I can't find a simple
