Connection reset (0x0f0a6039)

Hello.

I have a dedicated server at 1and1.com and I would like to boot it
using gPXE from my other VPS (FreeBSD) server via HTTP (Apache). gPXE
seems to get correct address from DHCP but after that, when trying to
contact the HTTP server I recieve error: Connection reset
(0x0f0a6039). Does anybody have any experience with this error please?

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Ladislav Jerabek

gPXE RHEL kickstart without DHCP

Hi guys,

I would like to automate the server build using gPXE without having DHCP server running on the network.
The following configuration I came up so far

#!gpxe
ifstat
set net0/ip <host IP>
set net0/gateway <gw address>
set net0/netmask <netmask>
set net0/dns <DNS address>
ifopen net0
kernel http://<rhn satellite address>/images/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-64/vmlinuz
initrd http://<rhn satellite address>/images/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-64/initrd.img
boot

The server boots fine by downloading and running the kernel images, but unable to figure how to add the kickstart configuration file to this config.
I tried to add as a 'boot' parameter, but it didn't start to install the binaries.

e.g.

boot  ks=http://<rhn satellite>/linux/rhel64/kickstart/ics-5.3.0.nolvm.ks

Thank you in advance!
Regards,

Steve

tftp options ignored.

Hi,

I'm trying to use a gPXE boot iso to work around a lack of PXE (on
iMacs, but this also happens in virtualbox VMs) and the tftp server
option is being ignored. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here as
non-gPXE PXE clients all seem to be working fine and get correct tftp
server addresses. The replies sent to the gPXE client include the
correct sname and we've tried with and without option 66 set to the IP
address of the tftp server. I can see from tcpdump that these are
correctly set in the dhcp replies. But the gPXE client still sets the
tftp server to 0.0.0.0 when it tries to download the bootfile. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

griznog

Etherboot and pxe boot

I have a cluster of machines that I need to boot over pxe, but cannot due to the fact that they are running linuxbios and etherboot 5.1.7. Is there a way to boot an elf that is compatible with etherboot 5.1.7 that would then allow me to boot the pxe image? I know that etherboot starting with version 5.4 supported booting over pxe.

Identifier strings with blank spaces

Hello,
i have been trying the boot systems using their smbios information. As a starting point i used "Network
booting by mac address" (http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/bootbymacaddress) link.

I have a file: http://10.10.5.10/gpxe/boot.gpxe

which contains:
#!gpxe
chain http://10.10.5.10/gpxe/boot.txt?mac=${net0/mac}&manufact=${smbios/1.4.0:string}&serialno=${smbios/1.7.0:string}&model=${smbios/1.5.0:string}&req=bootme

When processing above chain command, request is sent to the web server with proper identifier
substitution except for model=${smbios/1.5.0:string}. Since model information within smbios
contains string with spaces between words e.g. "HP ElliteBook 8560p" the url that get fetched looks liks
xxxxxxx&model=HP&. Also the parameters after "model" like stat=ok gets truncated.

Here's httpd log line showing the
request:

/gpxe/boot.txt?mac=10%3A1f%3A74%3A4b%3A3c%3A81&manufact=Hewlett-Packard&serialno=4CZ1290JWX&model=HP
HTTP/1.0" 200 179 "-" "gPXE/1.0.1+"

Any hints on how to overcome this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

gpxelinux.0 / gpxelinuxk.0 one chains windows other memtest Consolidate

Hi group,

I have the problem that if I chain hd0 (Win XP) from gpxelinux.0
Windows XP doesn't find the network card and I have no network.
If I use gpxelinxk.0 instead (more debug output) WinXP find the network
card.

On the other side I can't chain memtest86 (hangs on start) 
when used gpxelinuxk.0 while it works with gpxelinux.0

It seems gpxelinuxk.0 resets something disturbing XP else 
While it is needed for memtest86.

It is possible to consolidate both programs having different options 
For chaining with reset (or what else) or without.

Besides : the Wiki seems to bee outdated things like exit seems 
Not to done but to load as kernel?

I also tried to load gpxelinux.0 from gpxelinuxk.0 to boot 
Memtest86 from gpxelinux.0 after but on the gpxelinux.0 
boot from gpxelinuxk.0 the computer resets and reboots 
completely.

boot selecting card (via MAC?)


Hi,

I've just installed some Linux boxes with dual boot: Windows on the HD and
Linux LTSP via gPXE.

I used Grub4dows with an entry like this:

  title Linux (LTSP via gPXE)
  find --set-root /boot/grub/gpxe.iso
  map /boot/grub/gpxe.iso (0xff) || map --mem /boot/grub/gpxe.iso (0xff)
  map --hook
  chainloader (0xff)

In some pc I added a second ethernet card since the integrated one was not
fast.

The boot process sometime does not work correctly as the wrong card is used
and it waits forever or enters a reboot loop. 

I could select the correct driver only but that's more complicated to manage 
as I have several different cards.

Is it possible to tell the gpxe.iso which MAC address is supposed to use?

thanks in advance
sandro
