Mr Smith... OK.. You have the pxelinux.cfg/default that is loaded by pxelinux.0 This is what is in the /tftpboot/Boot folder: ------------------------------------------------------------------- -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Jan 23 15:19 BCD -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Jan 25 04:21 BCD.LOG -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Jan 25 04:16 BCD.LOG1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 24 13:04 BCD.LOG2 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3170304 Sep 18 14:45 BOOT.SDI -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 417896 Nov 2 03:51 BOOTMGR.EXE -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27596 Oct 10 20:20 WDSNBP.COM -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 164002999 Nov 2 08:40 WINPE.WIM -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 333 Sep 18 16:45 WdsConfig.inf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 79 Sep 18 16:45 abortpxe.com -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1098 Jan 25 04:26 bcdcreate.cmd -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25372 Sep 21 00:40 hdlscom1.com -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25356 Sep 21 00:40 hdlscom1.n12 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25372 Sep 21 00:40 hdlscom2.com.orig -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25356 Sep 21 00:40 hdlscom2.n12 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25068 Jan 26 04:27 pxeboot.com -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25068 Sep 21 00:40 pxeboot.com.orig -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25068 Sep 21 00:40 pxeboot.n12 --------------------------------------------------- can pxelinux.0 load pxeboot.0? I created the BDD using the 1000 steps outlined in the documentation. But I do not think that is gets that far. It never starts booting. When I rename the .com extension to .0 tftp fails. The tftp server is a Suse Linux Ent. 10 box with tftp installed and dhcp. here is the dhcp conf: ------------------------------------------------------ 1 option domain-name "farorbit.com"; 2 option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.212, 10.0.0.210; 3 option routers 10.0.0.1; 4 option ntp-servers 10.0.0.212; 5 option netbios-name-servers 10.0.0.210; 6 default-lease-time 14400; 7 include "/etc/named.d/osiris-ddns.key"; 8 ddns-update-style interim; 9 ignore client-updates; 10 ddns-updates on; 11 12 #group { 13 # next-server 10.0.0.212; 14 # filename "wdsnbp.com"; 15 # host install { 16 # hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:a0:eb:b6; 17 # fixed-address install.farorbit.com; 18 # } 19 # } 20 21 22 subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { 23 #option tftp-server-name "10.0.0.212"; 24 range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.5 10.0.0.99; 25 default-lease-time 14400; 26 max-lease-time 172800; 27 next-server 10.0.0.212; 28 filename "pxelinux.0"; 29 zone farorbit.com. { primary osiris.farorbit.com; key osiriskey; } 30 zone farorbit.com. { primary osiris.farorbit.com; key osiriskey; } 31 } -------------------------------------------------- very simple as you can see. I read something in another post about redirect... is that what oyu are doing? How did you configure this more precicely?

Hi JSmith and all of you... I have read through the thread and see that some of you have succeeded in using DHCP and pxelinux (tftpd). I have a Suse Box with tftpboot and pxelinux. I use it to boot a number of different tools like Acronis, and Dos disks... PLEASE help! I have tried all combinations that I can think of to get PE 2.0 to boot. here is my config file: default harddisk # Boot local hard disk label harddisk localboot 0x80 # Boot PE to install Vista etc... label pe kernel Boot/hdlscom2.com # install suse linux 10 E label suse kernel suse/linux append initrd=suse/initrd splash=silent showopts # install fedora core 5 label fc5 kernel fc5/vmlinuz append initrd=fc5/initrd.img ks=nfs:horus:/data1/os/fedora5/ks.cfg # Boot G4U BSD imaging software label g4u kernel g4u/pxeboot_ia32.bin append initrd=g4u/netbsd # Boot GPARTED imaging software label gparted kernel gparted/linux append noapic initrd=gparted/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=65000 BOOT_IMAGE=gparted frominitrd # Start the Debian installer label debian kernel debian/linux append initrd=debian/initrd.gz vga=788 # Boot dos VFD label dos kernel memdisk append initrd=dos/netboot-2.1.1.img # Boot and optionally install **** Small Linux label dsl kernel dsl/linux24 append ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=dsl/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix frominitrd LABEL nx # MENU LABEL 2X ThinClientOS LiveCD KERNEL NX/linux24 APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 nomce vga=0x311 initrd=NX/rootdisk.img root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init quiet console=tty2 splash=silent bootm=pxe BOOT_OPT_START nodma BOOT_OPT_END ro x11=Xorg thinsrv=osiris.farorbit.com # Start Acronis 32 bit disk imaging software label acronis kernel acronis/kernel.dat append initrd=acronis/ramdisk.dat quiet ramdisk_size=65536 vga=788 init=/sbin/init sysboot /active # noacpi label noacpi kernel suse/linux append initrd=suse/initrd splash=silent showopts acpi=off # nolapic label nolapic kernel suse/linux append initrd=suse/initrd splash=silent showopts nolapic # failsafe label failsafe kernel suse/linux append initrd=suse/initrd splash=silent showopts apm=off acpi=off mce=off barrier=off ide=nodma idewait=50 i8042.nomux psmouse.proto=bare irqpoll pci=nommconf # rescue label rescue kernel suse/linux append initrd=suse/initrd splash=silent rescue=1 showopts # memory test label memtest kernel memtest implicit 1 gfxboot bootlogo display message prompt 1 timeout 200
