I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS 6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system. But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even exist on the CF/SD ca...

I recently got a cheap PenDrive iVO which I'll be the first to admit is anything but perfect, but, a pretty decent player considering it's cost is that of the other players with half the memory. One of the things I was looking forward to was having a great bootable flashdrive with my favorite linux rescue image and a few other diagnostic/repair things. Unfortunately, since I tried to put

...one flashdrive and just sell the old drives or something. Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem to want to boot. I used the trick highlighted in the readme file on the fake USB-ZIP method because my bios is among those which can't boot a USB-HDD. This method has worked on my previous 256MB flashdrives and my bios, so I had good reason to believe it should have worked on this one. I get no errors and windows and linux both work flawlessly with it, so the only conclusions I can draw is that either the bios absolutely does not recognize it as a valid boot device so skips it completely (which might...

This is a quick recovery and fix for the machines rendered unbootable after the grub2/shim yum update. It is written for CentOS 8.2.2004 but similar should work for any CentOS 8 or 7 as long as you get the correct shim file, that is, the one from the latest installation media. I am running on an x86_64 architecture (see uname -i). Please use the correct shim file for your architecture

Hello, I am testing Syslinux-6.01 booting with efi64 from usb flashdrive. Using the config listed below, the kernel and initrd are loaded, but hang right after with no error messages. The flashdrive is partitioned with two partitions; the first is efi system partition marked 0xef00 in gdisk (gpt-fdisk) and is formated fat32; the second partition is formated ext2 but remains empty at this

Hi All, On my gateway server I'm Installing CentOS on a flashdrive. is that a bad idea? the server keep hang, I can ping the server from the LAN and from the internet, the internet connection from LAN to internet is OK but another service is down, ssh, VPN (PPTPD) and another service. Even the console is unresponsive so I have to reset the server. Last time when I still can do SSH to server

Hello all-- These instructions are somewhat OK but my messed up box is the only one I've got basically to help with this problem. Where can we find "correction" instructions using a "rescue" CD or flash drive? I understand RedHat provided detailed instructions to supported customers. Thanks. _______________________ Sent from MzK's phone. ---------- Forwarded message

Sorry if this is a total noob question... I've searched the archives and haven't turned up much. Not turning up much on the web in general, either. I'm working on a project and I'd like to create a Linux bootable ISO disc with an extra chunk of data **outside** the ISO space. This chunk of data might be a 10MB tar/zip. The goal would be to boot into Linux in RAM off the disc

I have recently gotten back into making a games with gamemaker. I had a big game that I didn't finish on my old computer running Windows XP. But then my stupid sister dropped my laptop done the stairs. That was about 2 months ago, and I got a new laptop running OSX because my parents hate Windows (while I love it). I was looking through a flashdrive with my stuff from my old laptop on it

Hi there guys! I want to set up Puppy-Linux to run off a 2GB USB key-drive in native mode (I.e. not as a virtual machine, which I'm finding runs too slow on my system, under XP.) To test it out, I want to run off a 150GB USB HDD. Now this drive is NTFS formatted and way bigger than the 1GB file structure limit that I read about in the Syslinux documentation. There's only one

Hello, Im trying to learn syslinux and want to create a multiboot flashdrive, which will have more than one liveCD available for booting. I've installed a simple live cd (secure linux live cd disk#1) to my Fat32 partition. It boots well. Now i want to add another live CD (geexbox disk#2) to boot from the same Fat32 partition. I need to copy some files from live cd (geexbox) and add them

Hello, Been try to use autofs to mount and unmount a usb flashdrive. The mount point is /media When the drive is NOT inserted, /media is empty. When Iinsert the drive, I see directories in /media that are on the usb drive but nocontent. So, its kind working. /etc/auto,master: # # Sample auto.master file # This is a 'master' automounter map and it has thefollowing format: #

I have some concerns about the Syslinux boot process, which I'm now investigating in connection with my work on booting Live-CD images from USB flashdrives. Some of these are related to what seems to be inadequate documentation, but I think that there are also aspects of Syslinux operation which could be fairly easily improved. quoting from the official documentation: Since version 5.00, when a SYSLINUX or EXTLINUX installer is used, the rel...
