Hi, I am having troubles with chainloading and hopefully someone can provide me with some guidance. Here's what I am trying to do: * the media is a USB key * I have created a GPT on it * I have created an EFI partition, where I have installed the EFI flavor of syslinux, the various .c32 files required for chainloading and the...

Hi, I would like to chainload syslinux 3.86 after booting from pxelinux of syslinux 6.04 is it possible? I was checking chain.c32, but i was not very successful so far. on my tftproot? dir i has this: pxelinux.0 boot/isolinux/ pxelinux.cfg/ isolinux_3.86/pxelinux.0 isolinux_3.86/boot/isolinux/ isolinux_3.86/pxelinux.cfg/ Do...

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use k...

When chainloading one pxelinux from another (e.g., chainloading from say pxelinux 4.07 to pxelinux 6.02), can one pass parameters or somehow control the root directory and/or server IP address? Here's the need: we have a loaded-up PXE server working great under 4.07, and I'm not prepared to just switc...

...VBR I then extracted a *.iso file which uses syslinux as the bootloader, into root dir of the disk. The iso file contains a rescue OS or an OS installer. Now I got the directory /isolinux with files isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg in this folder I can now boot into syslinux, but *what to do to boot/chainload the isolinux.bin file to launch the OS*? Note that just load the isolinux config file /isolinux/ioslinux.cfg (using "config" module) instead of chainloading entire isolinux is not what I want. Because the version of my syslinux (official compiled binary) and the isolinux (from another ve...

Hi! I have bootable (USB flash) disk, that _appears_ to be using syslinux. (the word syslinux is in the PBR, in the hexdump). How can I chainload it? The payload seems to be a file that I tried load with COMBOOT, COM32 etc, but nothing works (they report that the file is not in proper format, wrong magic number or simply crash). How to proceed? is there a 100% way to confirm that it is really syslinux? So I don't waste your time if it i...

Inspired from a similar patch posted on grub-devel for Grub2 I immersed myself into the code of Grub Legacy and came up with this absurdedly simple patch to allow syslinux or other bootloaders residing in logical partition to be chainloaded from GRUB Legacy (0.9x).

Hi, This is off topic for this list, but someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. For a couple of years I have been using ISOLINUX + MEMDISK and Smart Boot Manager to chainload a CD-ROM boot after loading a floppy image into RAM with MEMDISK. My problem now is that Smart Boot Manager does not support/detect SATA optical drives used in new hardware. Does anyonw know if there are any other bootloader out there that can chainload an CD-ROM boot? Thanks! -- Harald Jens...

Hi It would be pretty useful to have syslinux in linux kernel format so it can be chainloaded easy and directly by other bootloaders such as grub4dos. related topics: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7013 http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=6119&view=findpost&p=59236 http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=7077&view...

...ot, which takes considerable time (not ergonomic for my users). Sure I can reboot explicitly in other ways. The problem is that having to reboot is a pain. One odd machine was actually willing to try the boot sequence again, but it failed for some other reason anyway. Using Grub4DOS.EXE, I can chainload other things from DOS. Say Windows XP or Linux or whatever harddisk partition or kernel-like binary. Tried that, it works. My idea is this: POST -> PXElinux -> (keeppxe) memdisk -> DOS -> screensaver (wait for Esc) -> Grub4DOS -> back to PXElinux -> ... But, I can't se...

...elect isohdppx.bin as the MBR file. If I use mkisofs I need to postprocess the image with isohybrid --partok. The menu entry on syslinux.cfg for each partition is as simple as: Konsole output LABEL ZeroShell MENU LABEL ^ZeroShell COM32 boot/syslinux/c32/chain.c32 APPEND guid:xxxxx 5 So, I'm chainloading the boot sector of an hybrid iso image dumped to a partition. Everything works as expected with all distros which were built to boot with isolinux. It works because of the isohdppx.bin MBR (or the --partok switch of isohybrid). If the distro uses grub2 it fails because the "hybrid&quot...

What I'm trying to do is to have the EFI bootloader to chainload an ext4 partition where I have installed extlinux. The kernels and initrd lie alongside the extlinux bootloader. In a more schematic way: 1) the EFI BIOS loads the EFI syslinux 2) the EFI syslinux chainloads the extlinux that is on a separate partition 3) the extlinux loads the kernel & initr...

...lo! I'm posting some experiences with GRUB0/1 + sys/extlinux + MBR/GPT in a pendrive with 15 partitions. This could be helpful improving sys/extlinux. I did make a bootable pendrive with 14 distros using a GPT partition table and a tricky solution to let sys/extlinux boot from every partition chainloaded from GRUB (GRUB0 or GRUB1). Having a MBR schema, sys/extlinux can't be chainloaded from GRUB in a partition >4, right? in my case, with a GPT schema, sys/extlinux never can't be chainloaded from GRUB0/1. Using GPT partition table, the trick consists in converting every partition as a...

...with the following particulars: * Windows Vista x64 bootloader in the MBR and Vista installed in /dev/sda1 * Extlinux 3.72 installed in the first sector of /dev/sda2 and Foresight Linux installed in /dev/sda2 (at the time I tried, 3.72 was the default bootloader in Foresight) The problem was that chainloading did not work from Vista x64 to Extlinux, but _did_ work from Vista x64 to GRUB (and hence I'm currently forced to use GRUB). At the time I don't think hpa went much deeper into it than muttering something about Vista 'having changed its boot protocol' or something along those lin...

I decided to install Win2K on my "retrogaming/htpc" system to take advantage of the dual processors in the thing when I'm multitasking a lot, but, it's kind of annoying having to use first one bootloader to chainload my Windows 98 partition, then, via NTLDR, selection Windows 2000 to get to Win2k. I tried using the recovery console to try to force it to write a boot sector to that partition, then chainloading it, but, the chainloader just informs me the partition doesn't exist. Obviously it doesn't he...
