[gPXE] gpxe booting

[Markus Stopper]

Hello,

I tried to use syslinux 4.04 components
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/> ) with gPXE
generated image with all drivers (kkpxe
->http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/
<http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/> )
on the Application Note: User specific boot menus
(http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/authmenus
<http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/authmenus> ) and the
chainloading worked right away.

My webserver provides all data generated out of the php scripts (checked
in browser), but at the time as it comes to chainload (chain
vesamenu.c32 menu.php) the system freezes.

 

My Question here since I just started with linux: Do I need to match the
rom-o-matic  hook image somehow with syslinux version, since nowhere was
a version given.

If this is true, can somebody give me a quick tutorial how to build on
what system? (I already got me a couple of vms in case I need to build
something Debian, ubuntu, fedora...etc.)

 

So please help me since I really just want to do the example on the user
specific boot menus. I think it must have worked somehow because
screenshots are there and they look great.

 

All the best 

markus
