Re: [Thinstation-general] Thinstation and gPXE

Hi Martin,

 

Thanks for that.

 

I have downloaded and extracted Syslinux-4.03.zip to my C drive from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/

 

What do I do next? Am I right in assuming that by my http-server, you mean
the 2003 Terminal Server (in my case)?

 

Also you said "This way both types of client can receive vmlinuz / initrd
from my http-server".



Where will I find the vmlinuz/initrd and where do I install this? i.e does
it go into the tftproot folder?

 

Very grateful for your assistance

 

Cheers

 

Alex

Hi Alex,

 



I am using thinstation and SolarWinds TFTP Server on the 2003 Terminal
Server box.

 

PS: I reconfigured the DHCP server on the W2003 Terminal server as  per
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pxechaining

 

This did not help much. It stops the reboots, but an error message comes up
saying that it cannot load the image / boot image not found

 

Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

I have a mixed environment of PXE-clients (cause they have LAN on
motherboard) and gPXE-clients (with self made gPXE-ROMs on LAN-card):

I reached a working environment using  "gpxelinux.0" for the PXE-clients and
"pxelinux.0" for the gPXE-clients.
To distinguish them, I used the DHCP-user class "gPXE" as described in
pxechaining - article.

This way both types of client can receive vmlinuz / initrd  from my
http-server.
