[syslinux] PXE boot from Windows XP

[Pierre VIALLET]

I think this option are OK :

the pb arrive after that pxelinux.0 runs ...

with ethereal I show that the client (pxelinux) want to download by tftp the
config file pxelinux.cfg/C0A800DF on to the 0.0.0.0 tftp server.

Do you have an idear ?



Yes, you are missing these options in the DHCP server:

66 'Boot Server Host Name'	(the tftp server IP)
67 'Bootfile Name'		(pxelinux.0)




Hi,

I want to boot a VIA EPIA Motherboard from a Windows XP OS.
It's a PXE compliant card.

I do a isolinux cd to boot on it, but i'm thinking that it can be more
usable in my case if i can boot from lan.

I can use a linux server.

I'm using a solution base on Magik DHCP server & Tftpd32.

PXE linux start corectly  :

PXELINUX 2.01 2003-01-31 Copyrigth (C) 1994-2002 H.Peter Anvin
UNDI data segment at: 00094B30
UNDI data segment size: 9750
UNDI code segment at: 0009E280
UNDI code segment size: 1706
PXE entry point found (we hope) at 9D98:00F6

My IP address seems to be C0A800DF 192.168.0.223
ip=192.168.0.223:0.0.0.0:192.168.0.1:255.255.255.0
TFTP prefix      ^^^^^^^
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A800DF


When I monitor my lan (with ethereal) I show that my client (192.168.0.223)
ask pxelinux.cfg/C0A800DF  to 0.0.0.0

Can it be a DHCP missing option ?
