Hi, booting from an etherboot floppy or CD (which work in exactly two identical machines on the same network) results in the following on the others: Loading Rom image................... Etherboot 5.4.1 (GPL) http://etherboot.org Drivers: EEPRO100 Images: NBI ELF PXE Exports: PXE Protocols: DHCP TFTP Relocating _text from:[0010420, 000236d0) to [0feecd50, 0ff00000) Boot from Only some 1-9 characters get printed from the last line, then the computer hangs. Its own PXE stack in the NIC ROM works okay, but I need a "removable" solution. Does the above ring any bells? I checked the source and don't understand how a putchar loop can fail like that... I willing to provide more information if needed. The image is from the ROM-o-matic with NIC eepro100:82562em, zdsk output. -- Thanks, Feri. |

I recently encountered this problem after upgrading my server from Mandriva 2005LE to 2006.0. It turns out that the current dhcpd sends the next-server address as 0.0.0.0 if the next-server line is missing from dhcpd.conf. Etherboot does not like this, and rejects the DHCPOFFER. According to the dhcpd.conf(5) manpage, the line should be optional, defaulting to the current server address. -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:to...@va... Buckinghamshire, England |

Hi List:-) Thanks to all who did that, pretty need :-). I Like it. I've some elitegroup p6iwpfe small so370 i810Chipset Boards with onboard Davicom DM9102 Ethernet. Floppy works fine for me so i integrated the Rom Image in my motherboard bios. (ask google for Borgbios, they have a nice collection of needed tools and some faq's) But when booting, it is 40x slower since each transmitted byte (i think) is commented with some words :-(. also playing around with the options, or using RS232 output didn't help. When booting Damnsmalllinux via initrd it needs 40min (~50mb) or a WindowsPE ISO to Ramdisk more than 2h (i didn't wait) I use the eb-5.4.1-davicom9102.zrom any Ideas? jens |

Hi all, I keep getting a "segment in reserved area" error when I generate a NBI using mkelf-linux (v1.4.4) on my Fedora Core 4 system. The frustrating thing is if I generate the NBI on my Redhat 9 system (mkelf-linux v1.4.3) the image boots just fine. I tried --relocseg=0x8000 but the booting process aborted pretty quickly (I forget what the error was, sorry). Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to get around this error & generate a working NBI with mkelf-linux v1.4.4? I append the first few lines of output of the disnbi command (for the 2 NBIs) in the hope that it might be useful: [root@lapss]/home/tftpboot# disnbi vmlinuz.nbi.built.on.RH9 Type: NBI Header location: 9220:0000 Start address: 00092800 (flat) Flags: Vendor data: mknbi-linux-1.4.3 Segment number 0 Load address: 00092800 Image length: 4608 Memory length: 6144 Position: Absolute Vendor tag: 16 [root@lapss]/home/tftpboot# disnbi vmlinuz.nbi.built.on.FC4 Type: ELF Start address: 00092800 Flags: Segment number 0 Load address: 00092800 Image length: 6144 Memory length: 6144 Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Dennis, Which kernel are you using? The latest we have for LTSP is vmlinuz-2.4.26-ltsp-3 Anything older probably won't pay attention to the MOPTS field. Jim.

Dennis, the /linuxrc file isn't in the rom file. It's in the initrd image that is downloaded along with the kernel. If you are using the latest ltsp, you don't need to actually modify the image. Take a look at the following wiki page for information on solving the problem: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/NFS=23NFS_Server_not_respondin= g Jim McQuillan jam=40Ltsp.org > Hi > I am just wondering is it actually possible to mount a rom image create= d > on http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ > I need to get access to the LinuxRC file so i can update the NFS mount > from udp to tcp.. > > Because at present i am getting the > Server Not Responding still trying > Server Ok > > messages continuelly.. > > regards > Dennis > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Not sure if this will help with your multi-boot problems.
http://64.124.13.3/hacks/USB_Boot_using_GRUB.html
It shows how to use Grub to boot different sources. I have not
finished the Grub-PXE section yet. I am just beginning to see the
power of Grub.

Thank you for your reply. That floppy looks interesting - although it is yet another floppy with lots of single images. So I guess I can forget building multiple ones... Copying it verbatim is not an option either, since it uses 684KB and I only have 600KB left. And, found in his Makefile: # PREREQUISITES: # 1) SYSLINUX unpacked into ./syslinux-3.11 # 2) Etherboot unpacked into ./etherboot-5.4.1 # 3) Etherboot's Config file(s) patched to your taste 3) is my problem :) since I lack experience what options are needed and what aren't. Anyway, I'll build a few zlilos with default options now and put them onto my disk (3com and realtek ones since I know I already had to fix boxes with these network cards in, plus as many others as will fit.). If someone has a good idea with respect to get more drivers on the disk without needing more space (either by that legendary "multiple driver rule" or by making images smaller), I'll have to change it again :) Since network boot it not the main purpose of this disk, making more space available on it is not really an option.

Michael I have tried Josh Lehan's PXE-On-A-Disk and it works very nice on a floppy and the cd. In his readme file he explains how he has done it and he also include his makefile.

I assume you are talking about this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/LocalNet . From what you have posted there it looks like you are using PXE to change how your machines boot. My problem is that I am using etherboot on cluster nodes with LinuxBIOS. I posted to the syslinux mailing list and H. Peter Anvin replied saying that PXElinux does not work with LinuxBIOS. This is why I am looking for an option that I can specify in the dhcpd.conf file that controls how etherboot works. If you have any further ideas they are greatly appreciated. Thanks, -David |

Look at my examples on the wiki - look for DEFAULT and ... the thing that makes it boot from the HD. sorry for the sparse post - I gotta run - let me know if you need more direction. like the URL. ^C |

Berend probably meant this one: http://netboot.sourceforge.net/. It is some sort of an anchestor of etherboot. Georg |

Hello everyone,
I am using Etherboot 5.0.4 (burned onto ROM) to chainload EB 5.4.1 =
on cluster nodes with LinuxBIOS.
I created a rom image with just the default options for a LinuxBios elf =
(changed the boot order, nothing else)
and when I boot the resulting image I get the following from EB:
Found Intel EtherExpressPro100 at 0XC000, ROM address 0X0000
Probing...[EEPRO100]Ethernet addr: 00:30:48:22:B7:3F
Searching for server (DHCP)...
..Me: 192.168.1.253, Server: 192.168.1.1, Gateway 192.168.1.1
Loading 192.168.1.1:etherboot-5.4 ...(ELF)... ...................done
CPU 1843 Mhz
Etherboot 5.4.1 (GPL) http://etherboot.org
Drivers: EEPRO100 Images: ELF =20
Protocols: DHCP TFTP=20
init_heap: No heap found.
<abort>
Any ideas?
I have a working 5.4.1 rom image but it is in the normal PCBios format =
and doesn't see my pci bus, so I can't boot from disk.
