[PXELinux, PE2.0 and MS TFTPD]

Mr Smith... OK.. You have the pxelinux.cfg/default that is loaded by pxelinux.0

This is what is in the /tftpboot/Boot folder:

---------------------------------------------------

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:
