Hello Recently I've been happily experimenting with syslinux, replacing grub and my old bootmanager. All works beautifully, but I have one question - in case of .bss bootsectors - what exactly and under what circumstances is patched in ? With syslinux used as main bootmanager - bootsectors from xp64, xp32 and [pre-syslinux] msdos 7.1 (98se) work perfectly fine when chainloaded natively as .b...

Hi I am having problems loading bcdw (http://bootcd.narod.ru) from the isolinux bootloader. I use this to load the acronis programs. It worked fine up till version 3.51 but does not work anymore with 3.52. Here is the code to load the second bootmanager label l kernel /bcdw/bcdwboot.bin Any insights to what might be wrong here? With 3.52 I get Error! Cannot load file (code: 0110h): \bcdw\bcdw.bin Thanks Christian -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOWE SYSTEC Mailroom Comm...

Dear syslinux maintainer, on a tablet pc with only a touchpad is during boot time no keyboard exist and therefore no user intervention possible to control the behavior of a bootmanager extlinux in my case. The machine is able to boot from a second drive a another as the default OS and so I think it must be potential at first time extlinux via menu to instruct, to boot from such a drive. If this boot fails eg. the media is not bootable or is not inserted, (card reader and/or...

Hi, I bought a USB hard drive, got Mandriva installed on it, and made it bootable with extlinux. Works great on machines that can boot from USB. I also created a boot cd using the instructions in the wiki. This is working too. The only problem with the boot cd is that I had to copy the kernel, initrd, etc. to the cd. This means that whenever I install a new kernel I'll have to create and

Is it possible to kexec to the syslinux interface, thus bypassing the hw initialization? What would be the kexec command? kexec -l ??? --append=??? --initrd=??? TIA Jorge Almeida

...HP's firmware and the bootloader, simply because HP does not test any other bootloader. Back to the main topic now. Regards, Ady. <<< I agree with you.Because of the reasons you just mentioned I have said not long ago that we should stick as much as we can to bootmgfw.efi (MS EFI Bootmanager) in the way of doing things under EFI. This simple strategywill save us countless hours of painful debugging many times just to discover that X or Y FW is not really compliant to the EFI standard or it is just buggy in some area that bootmgfw.efi does not use. Best,Patrick

...TIA > > Jorge Almeida FWIW... Other bootloaders include (or can generate) a binary file that behaves as a (linux) kernel. Such binary file(s) can potentially be used for chainloading and/or with kexec. This is _not_ the case with Syslinux.

Hi all: I'm new here. Sorry if my question is so stupid. I want to make a cd bootable whit 3-4 floppys (to install msdos for ex.) My fisrt disk boots fine but when it wants the next disk check to a: not to cdrom /isolinux dir and not to cdrom root... :-( How do I do wrong? Thanks Regards Chema

a bit unrelated, still I wonder: does syslinux contain an mbr? or does anyone know any app that contains an mbr and can install it, without overwriting the partition table? my experience is, that is wise to have an mbr and use the active flag to select the active partition (which might have a bootmanager installed). however every linux distribution I know installed the bootloader such as syslinux, lilo or grub directly into the mbr with all those stupid traps you fall in, if you (re-)install windows. so I wonder: is there an mbr with syslinux? or can anyone recommend any software that will do th...

Hi Shao Miller, I found another ISO that doesn't work with MEMDISK-ISO. It is the ISO of the PloP bootmanager. It is a ISO which uses floppy emulation. When I boot it with MEMDISK-ISO (run from Syslinux), my PC instantly reboots. When I extract the floppy image from the ISO and boot this file with MEMDISK, it works fine. Grub4dos iso emulation works fine for this iso. When using Grub4dos and MEMDISK-ISO...

I wrote a COM32 module which detects if the PLoP bootmanager was used to boot a CDROM drive or USB drive, by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The PLoP INT13h hook check works like this (NASM syntax): mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,'...
