Up coming to boot winxp from http server , now we will take GPXE to boot an iso disc image through http protocol. This time I tried with an Hiren BootCD iso image - a very famous and popular All-in-One BootCD. It takes about less than 30 seconds to load and boot the image using 100Mbps LAN network. If move to Gigabit network, the time will be much better.
To boot the iso file, grub4dos does use (0xff) mapping instead of (hd0). Detail entry menu which used this time :
Server# cat /var/ftpd/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL cdrom
And it works perfectly.To boot the iso file, grub4dos does use (0xff) mapping instead of (hd0). Detail entry menu which used this time :

like this information :) Thanks
ReplyDeleteI have a pxe server with both gpxe and http installed, but this is not working. I have v.3.85 of syslinux installed and I keep getting this error:
ReplyDelete"URL detected: gPXE extensions not found, trying tftp"
Any ideas?
Try this : http://www.linuxbyexamples.net/2012/08/boot-winxp-from-http-server.html
DeleteSome notice : feed the dhcp boot file with gpxelinux.0.
Cheers.
