Hi, I'm new to the list. I've replaced grub by extlinux to multi boot my system. Now, I can't manage to boot one of my systems. I have 5 hard drives, 3 of them being part of a raid0 array, and one of them being here for backup purposes (can be removed). So the total 'logical' drives number is 2. First drive: - primary partition holding a rescue Windows XP system (ntfs) -

Hi, I am using syslinux-4.00-pre24, -pre27 and -pre31. chain.c32 fails for pre27 and pre31 for particular configs ... shown below. 1) works on pre24, fails with error message "Chainboot failed!" for pre27 and pre31 LABEL local MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Local Boot ... (skip PXE boot) KERNEL chain.c32 APPEND hd0 0 2) works on all three. LABEL local

I've started using pxe servers for OS deployment at my organization and I'm trying to get chainbooting working but I seem to run into an issue that causes a hard lock up of a system. MENU BEGIN ^1. Boot Satellite PXE LABEL Satellite PXE KERNEL pxechain.com APPEND (Server IP Address)::pxelinux.0 Is part of my config file for my main pxe server to boot over to the satellite ba...

When you try to boot the FreeDOS kernel with 'fs' specified, chain.c32 won't boot the FreeDOS kernel. boot: chain.c32 fs freedos=kernel.sys Loading the boot file... Booting... Chainboot failed! boot: It would be nicer that chain.c32 will automatically correct 'fs' to 'boot' behavior, so it won't fail. msdos= will probably behave the same as freedos=. - Gert

Hi Folks, I've been playing around with SYSLINUX for a little bit; here's what I'm trying to do... My disk will have three partitions: [BOOT: (FAT16 w/ SYSLINUX)] [OS1] [OS2] OS1 and OS2 will both contain an XP Embedded system which is read-only and which will always boot from a hibernate file. What I'd like to be able to do if flip-flop between them at runtime (that is, run

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

For reasons I won't get into, I need to use grub (not grub4dos, super grub, or any other variant) as multiboot loader on a USB thumb drive, but I also need some of the partitions to contain bootable content from syslinux-based ISOs. All of these syslinux partitions must be logical rather than primary partitions and they will not be the first partition on the drive. Porting the syslinux

Ok, despite what I said yesterday I decided to release a 2.08-pre10. The only difference over 2.08-pre9 is that I have added a small program in the "samples" directory called chain.c32. This allows chainbooting local floppies and hard disks: chain fd0 ; Chainboot the first floppy drive chain hd0 ; Chainboot the first hard drive chain hd1 3 ; Chainboot partition 3 on the second hard drive Right now only primary partitions (1-4) and the MBR are supported; however, it should be fairly easy to extend t...

I'm interested in redoing doc/syslinux.txt into 2 AsciiDoc documents, splitting configuration from command. First, however, I'm requesting comments on my recent documentation of several modules I have written. My goal is to be clear, concise, and complete. Acknowledgements and constructive comments are welcome. If it would help to also post converted copies of these documents (HTML,

...les over the net. In the syslinux mailing list there is an unanswered posting which is similar to this: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-February/006582.html but we do not modify vfs.root.mountfrom, or rename pxeboot. I found this in the "changes in 3.36: PXELINUX: Unbreak chainbooting FreeBSD (and possibly others.) but I haven't found any information about implementing chainbooting for FreeBSD. There are a number of web pages showing how to install FreeBSD from an ISO image over the net - this is not what we want to do. We are currently using the built-in facilities of F...

Hi Peter, I just noticed your check-in of the api headers. Are you planning on making the fat library also into an API? This would make things easier for me for my safeboot module (redundant bootloader which i mailed you about last week). I aleady moved some of the chainboot's partition finding logic into outside files, so I can add that to the API as well. thanks, Ram

Is there an option to trigger the El-Torito Code (Boot from CD) in syslinux/pxelinux? Sort of like this: LABEL CDROM Chainboot (cd0,0) Label Floppy Chainboot (fd0,0)

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been fixed. Oh, and since it looks like the thing is ac...

I have released SYSLINUX 2.08-pre11. It is the same as 2.08-pre10 except I have added logical partition support to the chainbooting module (still no partition hiding or anything like that.) Unfortunately I have no way to test this at the moment, so I thought I'd release a -pre11 and see if someone was willing to take it for a spin. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Otherwise I'll release 2...

Hi Peter, Please pull the following changes. Paulo, I had to revert your "pxe: resolve names via DNS from protected-mode code" change because dns_resolv() is only implemented for PXELINUX and causes undefined symbol references for ISOLINUX, etc. Feel free to make the change again on top of the revert. The following changes since commit e7bd19def830e8341b1a100956345f1028740b9e:

Hi guys, Here's another 5.00 prerelease. This one includes fixes for most of the bugs reported in the last round of feedback. The XFS filesystem code from Paulo also got merged this time and there were a bunch of fixes from a Coverity report. This won't be the last prerelease, but we are nearing the end of the 5.00 release cycle, so please do test. Shortlog append below. --- Chen

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Since we can't use __intcall() for EFI, and since we can now have the ELF module code resolve all our symbols at runtime, we should delete as many references to __intcall() as possible and just access the symbols directly. The most interesting patch is the support for weak symbols. We need to be able to reference derivative-specific

Hi, I've been trying a couple of day now, but I can't seem to figure it out. On www.etherboot.org, I found the example of configuring gPXE so that it mounts an iSCSI lun and then boot from CDROM so you are able to install on the LUN. But if I use gpxelinux.0 (latest release 3.73), with sanboot.c32 like this: label sanboot2008srv menu label ^[iscsi] Windows server 2008 kernel
