similar to: PXE-booting Xen using PXELINUX

Hello, I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present in mboot.c now, so I added support for it. The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next release of syslinux so ELF multiboot

I'm seeing this on a HP Blade and i'm not sure why this is happning since the nature of the issue is so wierd. I compiled mboot.c with a DEBUG defined in the mboot.c file. In the funciton init_mmap(), it prints the e820 map and on the HP blade this map values come out to be totally random. Some weird numbers which dont make any sense at all. However, if i add a while(1); or a exit(1); at

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new TCP stack. > >>

According to the Changelog for 5.01, pxelinux.0 can load boot files via http. But I can't get it to work. Specifying http as my boot path, just gives me an invalid file or directory error. ie: KERNEL http://10.48.128.56/rhel-server/rhel-server-6.4-x86_64/vmlinuz If I do a wget on the http path, I can get vmlinuz just fine. What am I doing wrong? I also tried copying lpxelinux.0 over

Hi All: I found this old message on the web archives. I've gotten Xen working with PXELinux, albeit with something of a hack. The basic chain is: 1. pxelinux 2. memdisk 3. FAT16 floppy image 4. grub installed on floppy image 5. xen.gz and vmlinuz on floppy image While this seems pretty simple, the key bits were to use: 1. FAT16 (not ext2, etc) for the floppy image 2. use the 'raw'

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

Hi All. I am curious if it is possible to reinstall linux distribution to centos (or another distro) if I have a remote linux server with no kvm access (i do not want to use virtualization). I know that for installation pxe, tftpboot and kickstart or a proper iso/cd and kickstart are standard options. But for such operations I would need kvm access. Are there any alternatives which do not need

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

I had an off-list discussion with George Dunlap yesterday, who suggested that it might be helpful to have an ability to test the S3 functionality in a bit more of an end-to-end fashion, and possibly introduce an ability to do all of the S3 related things without actually putting the machine to sleep. Attached is a very simple patch to xen that introduces a command line argument

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

I am getting the following error on boot on a new install Centos 51: #/bin/sh ro no such file or directory then a kernel panic I have traced it to the call ''switchroot'' in the init script in the initrd. the exact same build without zen has no problems. the boot messages look like: Attaching to iSCSI storage iscsistart: transport class version 2.0-724. iscsid version 2.0-865

Hi. I have looked at PXElinux<http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX> to understand all this, but I'm very sorry I don't. I have managed to setup to boot from PXELinux, but I'm not an expert on how to setup a menu file for making a windows unattended installation. Could someone help me with that? Is there some kind of a forum for this or is it just by email?
