Thank you for pointing the direction. Indeed, ver. 6.03 works correctly. BTW, this project gets very complicated. I spent a lot of time guessing which files I would need. I hoped that reading Makefile would help me but I it did not. Maybe you could add a target for copying final results to a destination. (Target 'installer' do sth else ... /slackware 14.1/) Best regards P.O.

Hi folks! In my system i have a SSD card, and i try to install extlinux in it. But, my extlinux installation not work!! I make a initrd to boot my machine on lan, and my init execute a installation of extlinux version 3.86 on my SSD card. The installation on init is similar to: http://pastebin.com/szcYCCjR The return of installation of extlinux is: /mnt is /dev/sda1 And the install not report

...k." which would not have helped me to avoid Ronald's problem. I would have considered any existing FAT as "normal". Maybe one should add a link to a new section "Possible pitfalls of MS-DOS disk partitioning and formatting" in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems It would give an overview or links about "partitioning", "filesystem", "FAT", "LBA", and "Cylinder/Head/Sector". Then it would advise Ady's layout of LBA driven FAT32 with conservative partitioning. I would volunteer as half-educated author o...

...successfully, load kernel vmlinuz, then start to load initrd.img but reset a minute or two later. rhel7 kernel 3.10.0 works better in the VM and actually loads successfully and kickstarts, but the HP G9 blade still resets whilst loading initrd. The page at http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems states: Linux EFI pre-3.3 Most kernels before Linux-3.3 have also been observed to have other issues. Symptoms include spontaneous reboot at some point after kernel execution begins. So does this mean we can't efi net boot rhel6/7 centos 6/7 or any distro that uses pre 3.3 kernels? Thanks...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello. I'm trying to setup an multiboot USB, mainly to install Debian using netinst images. I've mounted one of iso image and copied to a directory in USB (made with syslinux 6.03) and copied too the kernel and initrd for hd install. I've setup a directory to start the USB and, well it starts, but when I jump (using CONFIG) to the

Hi all, I did my first steps on syslinux 6.03 with EFI... I prepared the disk with GPT, EFI system partition and formatted it FAT32. I added the files to EFI/BOOT including the syslinux libraries and syslinux.cfg The system starts booting, loads kernel and initrd (I see the loading output on the screen), but then the system resets and the loop restarts (infinitely). I took the same

The syslinux "Common Problems" page *sort of* says this. This link: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems "Multi-Arch" section sort of says this -- if you understand that "core binary" means PXE NBP. (I did not). At least I get further -- syslinux.efi loads, then TFTP errors in loading ldlinux.e64. I'm trying again with 6.0.3-pre6. (Another suggestion). If someone finds th...
