[syslinux] syslinux from logical partition and chainloaded by GRUB?
Hello! I try to use syslinux to boot a Fedora 14 Live System from a logical partition (sda5). However, this does not work. I get a "boot error". To boot from that partition I use grub with "chainloader +1" from the logical partition. Here is my partition layout and the different bootloaders. /dev/sda MBR from GRUB /dev/sda1 partition containing only GRUB /dev/sda3 syslinux successfully /dev/sda4 extended partition /dev/sda5 syslinux not able to boot I succesfully used syslinux from a primary partition (sda3). Is syslinux capable of booting from a logical partition if chainloded by GRUB?

Gerth, thanks a lot for this important information. I will check this out and then try to point GRUB upstreams and Fedora packager to this patch.
