Hello,
i've got a problem with boot pxe on pc, all my pc works fine except in a
room
where all the same pc doesnt works :
my configuration (dhcp tftp etc...) works fine also
here is a part of my tftpboot directory
ghost/
memdisk
menu.c32
pxelinux.0
pxelinux.cfg/
./ghost:
ghost288.IMA
ghost_geii_101.IMA
ghost_MM.IMA
ghost_MM.IMA.old
./pxelinux.cfg:
default
here is a part of my default file
DEFAULT menu.c32
TIMEOUT 300
ALLOWOPTIONS 0
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE MENU
LABEL BootNormal
MENU LABEL Boot local
MENU DEFAULT
LOCALBOOT 0
LABEL ghost
MENU LABEL Ghost
kernel memdisk
append initrd=ghost/ghost288.IMA

kernel memdisk
append initrd=ghost/ghost_geii_101.IMA
LABEL ghost_multimedia

when the pc boot, the dhcp request works fine, the "download" of

Secondly, what are the *differences* between the working PC and the non-working PC (motherboard, chipset, BIOS version...)? -hpa

Please make sure to upgrade pxelinux.0 / memdisk to the same version. Otherwise please provide more information about the system, and the debugging lines spit out by memdisk. HTH -Andrew

I tried to make ghost disk boot working with pxelinux, but i always had this error except with one PC. This PC was more older that the others, so maybe it's a hardware compatibility problem ? I think it's weird, but that what I conclude. TERRASSON Mathieu PS : I'm interesting by getting your ghost images or an howto, so if you have some time, let me know , i'll be very gratefull
