[syslinux] PXELINUX 3.86 Boots Over HTTP, 4.00 Does Not

[Moore, Richard F.]

Hi ,

Thought I would keep the same topic as a previous post in June - still is a problem with pre49

Setting dhcp options 209 and 210 is breaking gpxe/pxelinux - everything else being the same, it works fine in 3.86 and not 4.00.

..Inserting following into pxelinux.gpxe ...
set 209:string pxelinux.cfg/default
set 210:string http://xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.uk/pxe/

It is hanging with 'Trying to Load:' and then about 4/5 of a screen of space before the cursor.

If I omit these two lines and instead have ...
chain ${210:string}pxelinux.0
.. it again hangs after fetching pxelinux.0 from the server.


I am assuming this is a bug...3.86 and 4 are both using 1.0.0 of gpxe by the looks of things so assume it is the way its interacting with pxelinux ?


Thanks for the great work on all this!
