similar to: netconsole for pxelinux

The gPXE in the Syslinux tree is ridiculously old. We could either replace it with iPXE or just drop it, giving people a recipe for how to integrate with iPXE themselves. What do people think? -hpa

Hi, As requested on IRC, here are the step-by-step instructions to reproduce the failure I see: On http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-1.0.1/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php: output format: .dsk NIC type: e1000_82540 x CONSOLE_PCBIOS x CONSOLE_SERIAL BANNER_TIMEOUT: 20 COMCONSOLE: 0x3F8 _ COMPRESERVE COMSPEED: 57600 COMDATA: 8 COMPARITY: 0 COMSTOP: 1 x DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP x DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTP _

Hi! The linux.c32 module doesn't boot my kernel, while pxelinux itself does: kernel vmlinuz-2.6.23 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root works, while kernel linux.c32 append vmlinuz-2.6.23 initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root does not: it stays sitting after loading the initrd without any output. Version 3.50-pre2 worked, current git does not work.

Hi Peter, Looks like I hit something between 3.71 and current git. With the following config: ---------- serial 0 19200 0x013 prompt 0 timeout 100 default menu.c32 label desktop localboot 0 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 ipappend 2 ---------- this command (invoking QEMU 0.9.1 with the attached rom-o-matic extension rom) qemu -hda

Hmm, yes. The series is available at https://github.com/wferi/syslinux as well (lua52 branch, based on upstream

I'm supporting a number of consumer devices (e.g. small NAS devices) in Debian. They typically don't export the serial console and don't have any other output devices. We perform the installation via SSH on such devices and start SSH automatically when the system boots so people can login. This works pretty well but sometimes a device stops to boot for no good reason. This is

Hello, I need to take a dot product of each row of a dataframe and a vector. The number of columns will be dynamic. The way I've been doing it so far is contorted. Is there a better way? dotproduct <- function(dataf, v2) { apply(t(t(as.matrix(a)) * v2),1,sum) #contorted! } df = data.frame(a=c(1,2,3),b=c(4,5,6)) vec = c(4,5) dotproduct(df, vec) thanks,

Hi, This is my current patch queue. The patches are independent, AFAIK, so feel free to cherry-pick or reject them independently. The bottom one was needed for a successful build here; the top one contains all the modifications you requested on IRC, and more. Meanwhile I hit one of the four stray TABs in tftpd.c, and decided to get rid of them. Comments welcome. --- Ferenc Wagner (5):

Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

Hi All, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've managed to get pxelinux to load gpxe and then manually load linux by using the gpxe command line and HTTP for the kernel and initial ram disk. My question is whether it is possible to somehow pass gpxe commands through some mechanism other than the DHCP filename response. Since I don't have control over our DHCP infrastructure, but do

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

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.

In my usb drive with EXT3 filesystem in /dev/sda1 partition, syslinux uses the first sector on /dev/sda1 but EXT3 filesystem doesn't?

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

I'm using gpxe to chain to pxelinux on a different host than gpxe was loaded from. The chain command looks like this chain tftp://other-host/pxelinux.0 Unfortunately, pxelinux is ignoring other-host and going back to the original host to look for its files. Is there any way to alter this behavior? Thanks, Mike

Hi , Thought I would keep the same topic as a previous post in June - still is a problem with pre49 Setting dhcp options 209 and 210 is breaking gpxe/pxelinux - everything else being the same, it works fine in 3.86 and not 4.00. ..Inserting following into pxelinux.gpxe ... set 209:string pxelinux.cfg/default set 210:string http://xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.uk/pxe/ It is hanging with 'Trying to

Hi, I'm investigating using LTSP for thin clients at my place of work, and I've encountered a problem that I don't know how to approach. I don't know if the problem is with gPXE, PXELinux, or the LTSP kernel, but I think PXELinux is probably the right level to investigate it. My situation is as follows: I've installed the LTSP system from Ubuntu Gutsy. I've tested it

Add a new poll_controller handler that the netpoll interface needs. This enables netconsole logging from a kvm guest over the virtio net interface.
