Hi Jeff, You should join the gPXE or gPXE-devel lists to report issues with gPXE: http://etherboot.org/wiki/mailinglists and more specifically: http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo Is where you would sign up. You would probably get more help debugging on those lists.

I have been using pxelinux for a long while now. I came across a method of booting that uses gpxelinux to utilize http as a download method. I have my machines set to pxe boot first with pxelinux I can have the default set to localboot. When I tried local boot with gpxe it works in vmware test boxes but on my hp machines it says booting local disk and just stops. vmware exits gpxelinux as follows Booting local disk... PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM. my hp machines on pxelinux exit as follows Booting local disk... PXE-M0F: Exiting HP PXE ROM. with gpxelinux it only gets to Booting local disk... and it just stops. |

I am using my WOL code from the contrib directory of etherboot. The WOL never gets sent, it appears to be a timing issue or something. I did some testing from the gpxe command line, I am able to aquire an IP via dhcp, but then there is error recovery in those sort of exchanges that will compensate from lost packets. I also added a command to the gpxe command line to send the wol packet manually, it does seem to get sent in that case. That is why I think it might be a timing issue or something. Perhaps related to sending the packet to soon after initialization or something. In the end my solution was to send the WOL packet 5 times, now it does seem to get sent always. All I am using gpxe for is waking a backend server. I run XBMC for my media system, all the media is on a backend server in the basement. I use gpxe to start the backend early in the boot process of the frontend before XBMC has started. ----- Original Message ----- > Good day Bill, > > You asked about adding support for an NVIDIA NIC to forcedeth.c in order > to send a WakeOnLAN packet.

But it's a hack to workaround problems caused by an earlier hack :-) Thankfully my hack is not needed since Michael found the earlier hack wasn't necessary after all, and he reverted it in commit 80d1ac7320f597b4c981dfdeb19d8e88eb85ca69.

Correct; I was invoking startrom.com directly from gPXE.

I find the results of Michael Brown's tests interesting... In his
tests, I don't believe he was using { -> PXELINUX -> pxechain.com } as
middle-man to Windows RIS' startrom.0. H. Peter addressed the RIS bug
directly in PXELINUX, and my test results differed... Might really be
that FAF0 RIS business; wish we knew what it was really for. - Shao

A related > e-mail to refresh memories[1], in case it's a possibility. For the record, I never committed a patch that fixes this in gPXE. Some prefices use the memory region which RIS accesses, thereby filling it with non-NUL bytes. The solution I had in mind was to zero memory in libprefix.S or in prefices, but it's been a while...

Good day Bill, You asked about adding support for an NVIDIA NIC to forcedeth.c in order to send a WakeOnLAN packet. What makes you think it's not working properly (error messages?) and how were you sending the WakeOnLAN packet? - Shao Miller |

Good day Binh, You had a question in regards to gPXE. Are you aware that there is a gPXE mailing-list? http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/mailinglists http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe Since you appear to be using the Etherboot mailing-list, you might have missed yesterday's e-mail[1] in the gPXE mailing-list in regards to the fact that the scripting discussion in the gPXE developers' mailing-list[2] is slow-going and certain points have not yet been agreed upon by all. Labels and 'goto' have not yet been committed to gPXE's official codebase. You could look in Stefan Hajnoczi's repository[3] or my own[4] to checkout some possibilities. - Shao Miller [1] http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-March/000735.html [2] http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe-devel/2010-March/000089.html [3] http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/stefanha/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/h eads/ifgoto [4] http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/sha0/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads /exit_if_goto_v4 |

Hello everyone, Could someone let me know if the mainline gPXE already supports label and goto in scripting? I tried defining a label as ":abc" or "abc:" but both failed.

Confirmed. RIS is working perfectly for me with pxe_set_cached_filename() removed. I've pushed this change. Alex: could you check that this solves your Bootix problem? I'd appreciate any reports of breakages caused by this change, though I don't believe we ever had anything besides RIS that we thought depended on it. Michael |

Tests so far: Unmodified gPXE : RIS seems to work (reaches graphical setup) Skipping pxe_set_cached_filename() completely : RIS still seems to work Setting both DHCPACK and BINL filenames to "bar" : RIS dies before reaching the "Windows Setup" text-mode screen Setting both DHCPACK and BINL filename to "" : RIS dies before reaching the "Windows Setup" text-mode screen Setting only DHCPACK to "" : RIS seems to work Setting only BINL filename to "" : RIS dies before reaching the "Windows Setup" text-mode screen Note that this testing involves a Windows DHCP server with no explicitly- configured filename, relying on ProxyDHCP to provide the correct boot filename. In earlier tests (many years ago, when the "overwrite filename" logic was first added and tested), I think I was using an explicitly-configured filename. I'm going to try removing pxe_set_cached_filename() completely, and check that RIS proceeds right through to an installed and working Win2k3 system. Michael |
