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 co...

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

...rnel = ''/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/pv-grub-x86_64.gz'' extra = ''(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst'' disk = [ ''iscsi:iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-9182312-disk,xvda,w'' ] If I just use the correct menu.lst everything works fine, but then im skipping chainloading into grub2 and I need to maintain the menu.lst everytime a kernel update is released. Anyone has experience with chainloading using pv-grub? Appreciate any hint.

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 t...

...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 verdor) may be different and the isolinux may contain some 3rd party patches. So just load the config file will sometimes result in failure. My final purpose is to make...

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

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

...e last message says "asking for upper memory" or something like that, which is odd). Seems to me that the pxelinux.0 binary doesn't have the right header to appear as a "linux kernel". I've tried looking at how the memdisk binary is post-processed by the makefile for chainloading (with an idea that I could re-apply the same method on the pxelinux binary), but I couldn't figure it out. I assume that this could be useful for other purposes too, other than the screensaver - such as: boot DOS, do some HW maintenance stuff, tweak some config registers, and return to the...

...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" g...

Hello! 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

...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 lines....

...ing 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 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....
