[syslinux] menu.c32 recycling?
Hi, I am trying to use menu.c32 with RHEL 4.2. Everything seems to work fine until menu.c32 loads. Just half a second before the menu draws I see a set of error messages like so: Unknown keyword in config file. Unknown keyword in config file. Missing parameter in config file. Unknown keyword in config file. Unknown keyword in config file. Unknown keyword in config file. The actual problem I am experiencing with the menu is that every time I select an option (which appears just fine) it seems to recycle the menu. Looks like the KERNEL and APPEND options in the config file are being ignored. I used a working isolinux.cfg file, so this should work. Someone back in September mentioned the same problem but without resolution. Here is my isolinux.cfg file: default menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE LINUX PACS INSTALLATIOU ALLOWOPTIONS 0 LABEL enterprise-aaa MENU LABEL Enterprise AAA KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-aaa.cfg LABEL enterprise-aaa-ax100 MENU LABEL Enterprise AAA/IV AX100 KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-aaa-ax100.cfg LABEL enterprise-aaa-cx700 MENU LABEL Enterprise AAA/IV CX700 KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-aaa-cx700.cfg LABEL enterprise-aaa-san MENU LABEL Enterprise AAA/IV SAN KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-aaa-san.cfg LABEL enterprise-xldb MENU LABEL Enterprise XL KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-xldb.cfg LABEL enterprise-xxldb MENU LABEL Enterprise XXL KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ks=cdrom:/kickstarts/enterprise-xxldb.cfg LABEL local MENU LABEL Exit Installation LOCALBOOT 0 I looked at the source code but I am rusty on C and I don't see anything wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Z
