PXE Boot Menu Timeout Not Working
Hey everyone,
So have set up a virtual environment with a CentOS machine as my PXE server and a WinXP VM acting as the client to test the PXE Boot. I have the menu set up as seen below. For whatever reason, the countdown to Timeout never works, and thus, the default never boots automatically. default menu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT Your_Machine MENU TITLE PXE Menu Test LABEL Your_Machine LOCALBOOT 0 LABEL Clonezilla kernel images/clonezilla/vmlinuz #Older Clonezilla append initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd.gz boot=casper netboot nfsroot=$NFSSERVERIP:/exports/clonezilla #Clonezilla 1.1.0-8 #append initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd.gz boot=live union=aufs netboot=nfs nfsroot=$NFSSERVERIP:/exports/clonezilla Any ideas? Need more information? Thanks! |
I had the same exact issue, downloaded and built latest syslinux tarball vers 3.72 from their site...replaced original pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 works fine w/ no changes to cfg file..
btw, you can also grab latest rpm from their site.. it puts pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 in /usr/share/syslinux, you can copy from there to /tftpboot.. thanks, mfk |
I know this is an old thread but I stumbled across while searching for the same type problem with cobbler / spacewalk pxeboot.
The solution was to downgrade cobbler-2.0.3.1-3 to cobbler-1.6.6-1.el5.x86_64.rpm. Maybe some other version of cobbler will come out in the mean time and fix this, or maybe some other solution is out there. But if your stuck for time and dont need any features of cobbler 2.0, this is what worked for me. |
