Hello Xen-Users, I am running a Debian GNU/Linux Devel-Station (P2/366 MHz, 512MByte) and use currently chroots which give some problems from time to time. I have following configuration: ----8<------------------------------------------------------------------ /dev/sda1 / 7700 GByte # Master System /dev/sda2 swap 256 MByte # Master System /dev/sda3 /var 512 MByte # Master System

I've begun tinkering with syslinux v3 and have uncovered an anomoly with the DISPLAY file when called by pxelinux.0. If I have: DISPLAY boot.msg With an "^Xsplash.lss\n" in the file boot.msg (exactly: 18 73 70 6C 61 73 68 2E 6C 73 73 0A) file, it will fail to load the rle image. And produce some goofy results in the tftpd log: Jun 5 06:27:06 pxe in.tftpd[24649]: RRQ from

Microsoft has their "boot" version of their iSCSI software initiator. Apparently this still requires that the network card be iSCSI Boot "enabled." Intel seems to be the only obvious company out there supporting it on their Server adapters - I was wondering if there are any thoughts/plans on implementing iSCSI Boot functionality in the HVM Boot ROM? Or maybe there''s

This test release includes the Multiboot support from Tim Deegan, and increases the command line limit to 1023 characters. This is a 3.08 release candidate, so if you have a chance, please test it out. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

Hi: we have following setup: 1. 2.6.16-33-based Xen 3.0.3/Xen-3.0.4 DOM-0 kernels. 2. Using LILO-mbootpack from USB we boot Xen-->DOM-0 setup 3. We mount harddisk and try to install xp.hvm While,we are successful with FCs as DOM-U, for XP we get, VBD (768) could not be connected. We do have max_loop count to 64 and enough loop devices. Note that above error is consistent on both 3.0.3

Hello PXE folk, I mentioned in another thread that I had problems finding an etherboot that actually works with a 486 and Realtek 8019/NE2000 card. Etherboot worked up until v 5.3.5-mc1 with the ne driver but then stopped working between 5.3.7 to 5.3.13 (anoying since 5.3.7 started supporting PXELINUX. But then I downloaded 5.3.14 and it seems to work again with the ne driver (finally

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 Xen folks, I use Debian Squeeze. I want to passthrough PCI devices. With the old stable Debian (grub legacy) i did not have problems. I edit /etc/default/grub like: quote: GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="quiet xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.2)(01:05.1)" I run "update-grub". Now i look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen

Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Hello, there is a transparent and standard way to boot from the network, a media that is bootable (cdrom, floppies) ? It is possible to interpret the standard boot sector and use a network boot loader such as pxelinux or other, to tell where to find, and the proper way to load the correct files from the tftp server ? An example would be appreciated using "common" boot disks, for

Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a

Hi, HPA: Thanks for the nice new features, appreciate that. Syslinux is always a nice program. For the new version, 3.10-pre20, I encountered a problem now, my client machine uses sis900 chip, and it still can not run simple menu with pxelinux in this version (3.10-pre20). It's same situation as I encountered when I used syslinux 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09. For 3.10-pre20, I compiled in Fedora

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

Folks: I've used etherboot to create a zrom that successfully brings a image of a bootable floppy into high memory. What I'd like to do is glue memdisk in so that it can hook int13 and serve the transferred image for booting when etherboot hands control back to the BIOS. The trick, and this is where I'd appreciate "gotchas", pointers or "this is an approach I

Hi there, I do not know if it has to do with my english knowledge, but I tried several times to understand the difference beetween Etherboot and PXE-Linux. I know that Etherboot can be put on a Nic's ROM, but for what on h*ll then is the Etherboot floppy for? Please, could someone explain me stupid person these things? Thanks a lot. Greets, Thorsten
