V5.01:pxe-server: PXE booting issues and questions

Post#1 by othalbung » 20 Sep 2024, 13:26

Hello,
tried the pxe server from a live CD and it was not working out of the box, with a few adaptions PXE-booting is working fine, with veasamenu.c32). Interested in the fixes/adaptions?
....
But anyway I am curious where the pxelinux.0 file is coming from.
Which process is setting up the pxe-boot directory?
From where is the old pxelinux.0 copied? (INFO: The version of pxelinux.0 used is from syslinux 4.0.6, imcompaible with vesamenu.c32 coming
from syslinux 6.0.3/4).

Hope some can answer my question...

thanks, someone else had pointed this out recently too.
you've pretty much answered your own question :) ..basicly, when the syslinux stack got updated, the pxelinux.0 was missed.

if there's anything more than just using the correct pxelinux.0 version, please elaborate.
