Syslinux - Jul 2010 - PXE limit of character in "append" line

Hi all


Hi all.
I have this working line in my Clonezilla Server: *

APPEND initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788
ip=frommedia
fetch=tftp://192.168.30.51/lis/hp/filesystem.squashfsocs_prerun="busybox
tftp -g -r lis/hp/custom-ocs-1 -l /tmp/custom-ocs-1
192.168.30.51" ocs_prerun1="busybox tftp -g -r lis/hp/id_rsa -l
/tmp/id_rsa
192.168.30.51" ocs_live_run="bash /tmp/custom-ocs-1"
ocs_live_keymap="NONE"
ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="es_ES.UTF-8" nolocales*

But when I put one or more ocs_prerun then the client don't work.
Like this: *

APPEND initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788
ip=frommedia
fetch=tftp://192.168.30.51/lis/hp/filesystem.squashfsocs_prerun="busybox
tftp -g -r lis/hp/custom-ocs-1 -l /tmp/custom-ocs-1
192.168.30.51" ocs_prerun1="busybox tftp -g -r lis/hp/id_rsa -l
/tmp/id_rsa
192.168.30.51" ocs_prerun2="busybox tftp -g -r lis/hp/script.my -l
/tmp/script.my 192.168.30.51" ocs_live_run="bash
/tmp/custom-ocs-1"
ocs_live_keymap="NONE" ocs_live_batch="no"
ocs_lang="es_ES.UTF-8" nolocales*

The client stay in the boot part: *

Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/01-00-14-22-a1-53-85
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A80146
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A8014
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A801
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A80
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A8
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default *

and never go on.

So, when I have two ocs_prerun it works, but whe I put three o more don't
work.

I think the line have a max number of character, but I not sure.

Can you please help me to fix it?.

Thxs.

First thing is to upgrade your version of pxelinux.  Newer Syslinux
versions support up to 2048 characters on the command line.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Sorry for the next question:
?How do I know the version of my current PXELINUX?
?How do I upgrade it?

good bye.
