This is the file I think. Haven't used it in a long time.

You are a gentleman, thankyou

 

hopefully it works

Hi All, Is there any way this can include EFI / UEFI ?.....

 

 

I've been hitting my head against this and can't quite figure it out.

 

My setup > Router is an RT2600AC, doesn't have the option to set PXE/TFTP through web-gui and had to make changes manually via SSH (when router reboots, settings are lost and again, have to make changes). [Will be brining this up with Synology support].

 

I cycle dnsmasq on the router, tail the syslog and I see the following:

Then on the box booting, I receive "An error occured with the boot selection verify media is present and retry".

 

I don't see the PXE menu on the client, just this failed white message on the screen.

 

If anyone could help point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!

New UnRaid user here,  I finally have PXE boot working with Version: 6.7.2

 

I am using the following files:

dnsmasq:       http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/n/dnsmasq-2.80-x86_64-3.txz

syslinux:       https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/6.xx/syslinux-6.03.zip

 

I used the following files from syslinux zip file in my tftpboot folder:  chain.c32,  ldlinux.c32,  libutil.c32, mboot.c32,  memdisk,  menu.c32,  pxelinux.0,  vmlinuz

I'm not sure if they are all needed, but it is what worked for me.

 

same startup script:

installpkg /boot/config/custom/dnsmasq-2.80-x86_64-3.txz
cp /boot/config/custom/dnsmasq.conf /etc
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq
/etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq start

I tried placing this in the go file, but I would always get an error that the directory (share folder) dosen't exist.

I believe that this is because the array hasn't started yet.

I placed the startup script into the User Scripts section and set it to run at startup of array.

 

I have clonezilla loading with the help of this page:  https://clonezilla.org/livepxe.php

I haven't mastered the use of the menus, but it's work in progress.

Thank you for posting this update. I believe my PXE boot server has been broken since about Jan 2019 after an unRaid version update.

 

"I used the following files from syslinux zip file in my tftpboot folder:  chain.c32,  ldlinux.c32,  libutil.c32, mboot.c32,  memdisk,  menu.c32,  pxelinux.0,  vmlinuz"

 

Does this mean here?      

        

 

 

Or in tftp\pxelinux.cfg\roms? I copied them to both locations until i can reboot the server and test.

 

"chain.c32,  ldlinux.c32,  libutil.c32, mboot.c32,  memdisk,  menu.c32,  pxelinux.0,  vmlinuz"

 

From which directory did you copy these from? I guess it depends on if you are booting with UEFI or not?

 

syslinux-6.03\bios

syslinux-6.03\efi32

syslinux-6.03\efi64

 

I have a mixed environment of machines and extracted the files from the bios directory to test with.

Hi

I was wondering if somebody had the file that is linked in this comment section? the Google drive link seems to be dead.
