Tested floppy boot on two machines (one PII 350, one 486DX4) Floppy boot with syslinux is very very slow, more than 18 mn to boot a linux kernel from floppy on the 2 machines. Tested with 3 different disquettes that were know to work, boot is reached after this very long time. Noise from floppy head make think floppy wait approximatly one minute between each read. No problem with pxe boot with

...0 rw As a notice, I have two other different machines that are very slow to start with syslinux (typically more than 5s between each . during kernel load and initrd). Both are with K6-2 cpu and a VIA chipset, one is a laptop, one is a desktop. I don't know what to investigate with them Gilles Espinasse

I have tested with 3.31 (does not broke /dev/null) and 3.35/3.36 that broke /dev/null I verify that /dev/null exist, then compile one of the target available on top Makefile and /dev/null no more exist.

Is it possible to configure syslinux.cfg on a floppy to start Win98 on a secondary hard drive? If so, how is this done? Currently I have Linux and Win98 on the primary hard drive, and when I attempt to use the floppy to start Win98 on the second hard drive, I simply start Win98 on the first drive. I have tried many different approaches, all to no avail, and I would really appreciate some

I made a patch that depending of gcc flavor add -no-pie or -nopie on libutil and dos Makefile. This fix fatal error like this sha1hash.c: In function `SHA1Transform': ../include/netinet/in.h:24: error: can't find a register in class `BREG' while reloading `asm' ../include/netinet/in.h:24: error: can't find a register in class `BREG' while reloading `asm'

I have seen it's been planned to change the default file name to be shorted than module.pcimap. One way to solve the longer than 8.3 name issue should be to recommend using mkisofs -J -r But is not module.pcimap going to disappear? Should HDT not parse module.alias instead? An option has been added on module-init-tools to remove generation of all module.*map files. Default behavior is still

Am I wrong saying that actually anyone that use klibc has to use insmod patch or build a monolithic kernel? Could not the insmod patch be include? That will make everyone life easier on klibc upgrade. Gilles

Compilation was ok with klibc-1.5.10 on linux-2.6.25. Distrib does not matter as it is inside a chroot a la LSF With the upgrade to linux-2.6.27 it broke on 1.5.10 (I try too the last 1.5.14) with make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/klibc-1.5.14' GEN klcc/klibc.config GEN klcc/klcc HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep KLIBCCC usr/klibc/__static_init.o KLIBCCC usr/klibc/vsnprintf.o

Trying to be not long, on x86 I have 3 floppies images boot, root-1, root-2 Booting from boot image with no problem, I try reading root-1 and root-2 image in raw format. Reading root-1 and root-2 is made from boot init script, using klibc-1.5.9 or klibc-1.5.10 with debian insmod patch, and a vanilia linux-2.6.24.7 root-1 and 2 images are smaller than 1440 kB and are made the same way with cd

Is there a list of which kernel versions (are supposed to) work with (each version of) klibc? I do recall reading something that said klibc should run under any version of the kernel, regardless of which version it is compiled against. Following the new instructions on this list earlier (to use the KLIBCKERNELSRC= parameter to point to the installed kernel headers) as well as also making the

Hello, are there known issues with some bioses not booting from Superfloppy format? All I get is the Syslinux (c) line and nothing else happens afterwords. Everything works fine if a partition is added to the device. Unfortunately however the target device can not be partitioned. Any hint?

Even with gcc-4.1.1, gcc does not return an error if an option is not supported It just ouput a message to stderr but does not return a value different from 0. The result is that there is some warnings about every unrecognized option and compilation continue. barton syslinux-3.36 # gcc -dumpversion 4.1.1 barton syslinux-3.36 # gcc -ZZZ dummy.c; echo $? gcc: unrecognized option '-ZZZ' 0

There is still a duplicate line in 3.82 extlinux/main.c I had think to already have reported that but didn't find the mail again in the send box so I am now unsure.
