Hi All, I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / testing purposes. Installing RHEL5 from ISO images works ok, no problems with installation. The problem occurs with PXE boot - it is simply doesn't try to do PXE boot, according to what I can see: Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk FATAL: No bootable device. _ I have: CentOS

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second

Hi, i am having problems with virsh utility. I have installed 3 KVM virtual OS-es on top of CentOS 5.3 i386 (with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus from 5.2, necessary on AMD/ATI MB I have). I have compiled KVM modules from lfarkash-es sorce rpm's and libvirt and managers are recompiled from Fedoras repositories. Problem is following: Guests are installed with virt-manager and

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

CentOS-Virt, I ran into an error attempting to offer two boot options using libvirt with kvm. I wanted the virtual to first attempt to boot from its "disk" and if that didn't work, fall back on netboot (we kickstart install). This argument is "-boot cn". If the disk you provide is of type IDE this will probably work for you, unless you use "-drive" with the

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

It is being mentioned by syslinux wiki, or some other documentation of syslinux that I currently can't find.

Hello! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

When booting HVMs with SeaBIOS, the BIOS itself takes care of extracting option ROMs from the PCI devices. These ROMs are usually provided with by the device model (qemu). Thus, hvmloader should not require any longer the rombios, stdvga, cirrusvga or etherboot ROMs to be present. Also, the 32bitbios_support.c file is specific to rombios and should not be built when building hvmloader with

This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

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
