Hardware with issue is a Lenovo T410 (circa 2007?):
SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2009 - PXE boot works, select
Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is
working for Ghostcast/peer to peer.
SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2014 - PXE boot works, select
Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is
NOT working for Ghostcast/peer to peer.
The PC-DOS has a universal network driver (UNDI) 11.1 (boot disk made
from Ghost 11.5 Book Disk Wizard).
My "default" file configuration and .ima floppy disk image are
identical in both environments:
DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 300
MENU TITLE PXE Boot Menu
LABEL Ghost
MENU LABEL ^Ghost
MENU IMMEDIATE
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND keeppxe floppy rw initrd=bootimages/ghost.ima
My TFTP is identical in both environments:
TFTPD64 v4.60 Build Jan 28 2017 18:55:26 (Service Edition)
Only difference is the version of SysLinux (pxeconfig.0 and its
corresponding files from 2009 version: menu.c32, memdisk and in the
2014 version add ldlinux.c32). I have tried with and without
"keeppxe" in the APPEND line.
Interesting side note: Lenovo T420 works in both environments,
networking loads (as do many other models)
Ideas?
thanks,
David
