Hi, Currently I am building a new PXE boot environment and during that I noticed something odd while attempting to boot using one of those universal netbootdisks based on the '3Com Universal NDIS driver v1.00' (aka undis3c) driver. Using pxelinux.0 this works like a charm, but when I switch to gpxelinux.0 the 3Com driver bails out on me... all other configuration is the same. Have

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

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

It seems that tftpd-hpa is more suitable at serving arbitrarily large files (greater than 65535 blocks long; with pxelinux.0 using a default block size of 1408 this is 92,273,280 bytes) as atftpd will complain in the log stating "Requested file to big, increase BLKSIZE". I saw that a while back HPA mentioned that atftpd was probably more scalable (number of clients) while tftpd-hpa is

Hello, I'm playing with gpxelinux, it's works but ... In my dhcpd.conf I have the traditional: option space gpxelinux; option gpxelinux-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxelinux; option gpxelinux.bus-id code 177 = string; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { host essai { hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55; fixed-address 192.168.0.62; if not exist

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

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

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

I have a situation very similar to whats in http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-January/019251.html The server is setup to provide info over dhcp+tftp and I'm planning on chaning that to dhcp+http so I copied gpxelinux.0 to pxelinux.0 and started failing. The client (in my case it's a hp proliant BL460c G7) manage to get gpxelinux.0 loaded but when it comes to load the config file it

We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg like this: default freebsd

Hi, first of all I would like to voice my deep gratitude to all syslinux developers for this really important software. I am using it in all my automation projects and could not manage without. Unfortunately now I stumbled upon a problem where I am out of my wits and need some help. The core problem is that HTTP transfers by gpxelinux.0 are very slow. Sadly this problem seems to be somehow

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

Hi All, I'm trying to setup gpxelinux instead of pxelinux, my goal is to fetch the configuration files and images via http. additionally, I want to setup all servers to boot by default from PXE - the idea is that I can control whats booted in another place, and I don't need to physically (or virtually) go through menus or do stuff on the machine. my basic proof of concept is: isc dhcp

Hi Hpa and all I am confused about some function of pxelinux and gpxelinux/gpxe. 1, after I read the document (http://edgyu.excess.org/ols/2008/H%20Peter%20Anvin%20-%20x86%20network%20bo oting%3a%20integrating%20gPXE%20and%20PXELINUX.pdf), I knew there are two major module in standard gPXE, PXE BC and UNDI. And I can understand why I need to produce different boot file for different NIC from

This is worth forwarding to SYSLINUX.

Hello All. Yesterday I?m trying another ways but without luck. Issue still exist ? Please help. Is it possible to rewrite DHCP setting for sanboot.c32 after gpxelinux.0 load? Will be nice to have this possibility because: 1. DHCP can be ?black box?. 2. DHCP admin not available. 3. PXE server rewrite dhcp setting. I cannot boot from cdrom after pxe(gpxelinux.0) ? please help. LABEL Windows 7

When chainloading one pxelinux from another (e.g., chainloading from say pxelinux 4.07 to pxelinux 6.02), can one pass parameters or somehow control the root directory and/or server IP address? Here's the need: we have a loaded-up PXE server working great under 4.07, and I'm not prepared to just switch the entire setup to a newer version of pxelinux, too many folks depending on a
