Can't figure out why this won't work

I've been trying to set this up without any joy. I can't figure out
what's wrong. I followed the directions here
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnoted but when I boot through
virtualbox I get the error shown in the screenshot
http://imagebin.org/130538. No matter what I do I get this screen.
It's like it's ignoring the dhcpd.conf file but it isn't because if I
make a mistake in the file and restart dhcp it'll give me an error. I
also used the example in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMwauwshm_E. It works like his video
when I download his gpxe.dsk file but when I use the one I compiled I
get no where. Any suggestions?

Re: Can't figure out why this won't work

The problem isn't necessarily with DHCP.  Unless you are using an
embedded script in your gPXE bootloader, DHCP is obviously doing it's
job.  gPXE is trying to load tftp://10.0.2.4/Ubuntu.net.pxe (which I
assume came from DHCP directives next-server 10.0.2.4; and filename
"Ubuntu.net.pxe";) and complaining that the file isn't there.  So that
suggests that either the file name on the TFTP server does not match
what you've set in DHCP (Is the case the same?), or the file isn't in
the folder that your TFTP server is set to point at.

If you can't find the error with this information it would probably be
useful to post your dhcp config file, tftp config file, and a directory
listing of the folder your tftp server is pointed to.

Boot By Mac Address from IIS

Hi all,

I'm trying to do something similar to that which is documented here:

http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/bootbymacaddress

namely, serve the same undionly.kpxe file to a number of computers and
have them chainload gpxe scripts from a webserver depending on the
computer's mac address using ${mac}. This works as expected with Apache,
but Windows won't let you have filenames with a ':' so I can't serve the
scripts.

Is there a workaround to have gpxe use the same format for mac address
as pxelinux.0 (01-aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff) or will I have to develop a script
so I can pass the mac address (with colons) in the query string?

Thanks in advance,

Dan Weintraub

Re: 1.0.2 schedule

Hi Jeremy,

We don't currently have a timeline for our 1.0.2 release, but we have
sufficient changes since 1.0.1 to do a 1.0.2 release with the addition
of a few patches that are in the queue.

I'll send a message to gpxe-devel to discuss pushing for 1.0.2 in the
next few weeks.

Thanks for pinging us about this.  I've been somewhat distracted
settling into a new job but this is a good time to get things moving again.

Regards,

/ Marty /

[PATCH RESUBMIT] UNDI code for Interrupt vs Polling

Hi,

I have noticed that the submission for the patch above had some issues
(the initial submission was a reversed patch, and the fixed version had
tab vs spaces corruption).

As I am not sure if a proper version of patch is already queued, so I am
resubmitting it just to make sure a good version of the patch is queued
for inclusion.

Original patch submission is at:
http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-November/001544.html
Test report is at:
http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-November/001562.html

Description from the original patch submission:

    From: Muralidhar Appalla <Muralidhar.Appalla <at> emulex.com>

    Hi,

    Problem Description:
    We have noticed that gPXE UNDI code is always expecting interrupt(s) to be
    generated by the underlying NIC HW to process the receive path in
    undinet_poll() routine. This is causing problem on some of the PCI NIC
    controllers where though the NIC device supports IRQ and able to generate
    interrupts,  during PXE UNDI code some devices do not enable interrupts on
    their device and run in polling mode. Those devices expect upper layer UNDI
    drivers to poll for the receive packets instead of waiting for interrupt

[PATCH RESUBMIT] Merge adjacent memory regions of same type

Hi,

I have noticed that the original submission of this patch had issues
(diff was corrupted), so I am resubmitting it to make sure a good
version of the patch is queued for inclusion.

Original submission:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.gpxe/1362
Test report:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.gpxe/1502

Original patch description:

    From: Casey Dahlin <cdahlin <at> redhat.com>

    Some BIOSes can report multiple memory regions which may be adjacent
    and the same type. Since only the first region is used in the
    mboot.c32 layer it's possible to run out of memory when loading all
    of the boot modules. One may get around this problem by having gPXE
    merge these memory regions internally.

The patch you attached at the bottom of this e-mail is in fact the patch that I have successfully applied and
tested (and am using in production).

Install on iscsi with Asus P5Q SE

  Hi,

I'm trying to install windows 7 onto an iscsi target with the Asus P5Q 
SE and didn't succeed so far.
Gpxe boot is ok but when I have to select the volume to install windows 
any of them support installation; including internal SATA drive !
I tried various AHCI and IDE without luck so far. Still have to try 
legacy IDE (already tried ehanced IDE).
Any tips ?
I guess I can try to install on a similar MB like P5Q and then boot P5Q 
SE if everything else fail.
