PXE boot issue

[zero0ne]

OK new issue
(I installed the server on different hardware, one without any SATA chips in it at all.)

when i boot from PXE it comes up fine BUT it says

"automatically booting from local hard disk in 0 seconds"

is this the PXE image? and how do i get this so that its default isn't 0 seconds but instead say 30 seconds? Or is this a motherboard issue?

Thanks!

EDIT:


the password stuff is taken care of now... but to add to the above question:

when i do hwinvent and switch it to setup, and then restart the PC, the PXE boot immediately chooses the opsi boot like i want it to...

when I do this with winxppro, it brings that menu, and it then pushes to the HDD boot after 0 seconds.

i just changed winxppro config to askbeforeinstal to false so we will see

EDIT2: there we go its that flag that needs to be set to false!

cool stuff here guys

Hello,

its a bios-issue (see http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2008 ... 10522.html)

check the new testing-bootimage

http://download.uib.de/opsi3.3/testing/ ... -1_all.deb

default Bootimage is now default.nomenu

even with the workaround in the cited thread there sometimes Problems with buggy bios.
