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

The Point is, it just wont do L Basically what I am doing is: Xm create -c /etc/xen/test.cfg Then dropping to grubdom Grubdom > root (hd0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Grubdom > chainloader +1 Grubdom > boot Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting I don''t get the point here. I don''t want to specify a kernel, I just want to chainload into grub2 and let him do the bootup. I also tried installating grub2 in the partition itself and then referencing to (h...

Hi syslinux experts, So, I have a pxe boot tree that looks something like this: /menu.cfg /linux /ubuntu /amd64 /meerkat (contains a mirror of the netboot ubuntu image) If I set the following in the appropriate stanza of my dhcpd.conf (for isc dhcpd v3), I can boot the ubuntu installer: filename "linux/ubuntu/amd64/meerkat/pxelinux.0"; next-server <tftp_server_ip>; I would

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 switch the entire setup to a newer version of pxelinux, too many folks depending on a

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

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

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

...rtition and wrote them into the generic mbr.bin provided by syslinux (enabling the boot flag and filling with 0's and 0xAA55 in its corresponding places). This new 512-bytes 'boothelper' file will lie in its corresponding partition. This file _can_ be sucessfully chainloaded from GRUB (chainloader /boothelper)! The distro's splash screen will be shown and sys/extlinux prompt also, else the distro can boot. If we repeat this process for every distro (every distro which originally boots from the .iso image with sys/isolinux) in a pendrive, we have many 'boothelper' files, each one...

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

...ing 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 help that the Win2k partition not only passes that 1024 boundary, but, is on a logical partition and everything (I wanted to use FAT32 so I could get to that partition thanks to free space concerns. I won't be running a...
