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 configuration file which tells syslinux what to chainload

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/ Does anyone know how i can, after booting from the tftproot pxelinux.0

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 kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

...I would think they'd be the same version, but I wanted to point it out in case it presents a known problem. Also, I cannot seem to find a way to change the pathprefix or the configfile. I suspect that may cause problems if I get past the lockup. Are there ways to override those values for the chainloaded pxelinux.0? BTW, I am willing to consider gPXE solutions. I just didn't want to complicate the config for my question. I know that I can get it working by adding entries specifically in my menu, but I am trying to boot an unchanged netboot image to make it easy to pull in new distribution ver...

...that the gpxelinux.0 would then in turn fetch its *.c32 and pxelinux.cfg from the /syslinux6 subtree, so that those files can be different than the versions from pxelinux4. Is something like that possible? If not, how hard to add support for that? (That is, support for passing a parameter to a chainloaded pxelinux?) If totally impossible, is a possible workaround to dedicate another IP address, and do something like LABEL chainloadtopxe6 KERNEL http://some.new.ip/gpxelinux.0 Will that invocation of gpxelinux.0 then set the environment appropriately to pull the *.c32 and pxelinux.cfg from that n...

I have a USB disk with syslinux files installed in /boot/syslinux, and the bootloader is installed into MBR or 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

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

This is why pxechain.com was written and is now superseded by pxechn.c32 as a more flexible COM32 solution. The traditional COMBOOT A...

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

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=f...

Dear everyone, I have a simple and silly question. I'm using pxelinux in a small LAN - I'm using it to boot a few universal profiles based on Linux and DOS. I have a simple DOS-based "screensaver" (winter background theme with snow falling down) that I'd like to hook up as a default profile (say after 5 minutes timeout) into the PXElinux boot menu. That works - the

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the

...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 p...

Hi syslinux list, Some months ago, hpa was kind enough to help me troubleshoot booting Extlinux in a system 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

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
