...and failure) are there, so the code did get compiled. Does anyone know how something like this can happen ? The comapi_open does appear in the int22_table, and on the correct offset... but I haven't checked the ISR yet... BTW, I'm using VMWare 4 for testing...

...The data field is not used by the system at all. The intended use is that it will contain the name of the kernel to run. So once the menu system returns a pointer to this datastructure, the user will see that the action is RUN and execute the kernel specified by the data field. - Murali Marc Haisenko wrote: >On Tuesday 20 January 2004 16:34, Murali Krishnan Ganapathy wrote: > > >>Thanks for your reply.

...ader. If you like I can send you a plain-text version to be included in the SYSLINUX sources as I find especially SYSLINUX very useful in such a case. The mini-howto: http://darkdust.net/marc/diskimagehowto.php Comments/suggestions for enhancements are very welcome :-) C'ya, Marc -- Marc Haisenko Systemspezialist Webport IT-Services GmbH mailto: haisenko at webport.de

...turn from my VESA mode into normal 80x25 textmode (I'm trying to hide as much from Linux as possible simply for aestetic reasons ;-) The second question is about open file, AX=0006h, INT 22h... does it support sub-directories ?

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle

hi, i am wondering about how submission of append parameters can be done. i have the following isolinux.cfg: --------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFAULT linux PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.gz nomce quiet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- what i want to do is to tell at

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Im pxebooting target machine with vmlinuz & initrd. Once vmlinuz loads initrd, Im calling "/bin/sh" from linuxrc script so that I get command prompt. But my machine is not connected to network. # ping 192.168.25.2 connect: network is unreachable #ifconfig -a can not open /proc/net/dev : No such file or directory my /proc is empty. Please advice how to customize initrd image to

hi I'm new to this, and already havin some trouble :( I tried to make my usb pen drive bootable with sysliux, but I got this message: syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem But I already formatted the usb pen drive int FAT16 fs with cfdisk AND with qtparted (in both cases I got the same message). Anyone that could help me about this?

I'm considering the suggestion which was raised before about turning the debugging messages on by default in isolinux, or specifically, not building the non-debugging-messages version in the standard distribution. What do people think (especially distro maintainers?) -hpa

I would like to have two compressed ext2 filesystems on my CF card, one for the root fs and the other smaller one to be mounted at /opt/XXX where I can compress what is in ram after modification and write it back to disk at regular intervals of time. can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)). Since booting off an USB device is not an universal thing I would prefer to have a boot disk with a minimal system - just enough to load most (all?) of the system from the attached USB device. Is this an

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

Greetings, As a Google Summer of Code student for the SYSLINUX project, I had the chance to learn many interesting things from hpa regarding the internals of SYSLINUX. So besides my main task of implementing ELF modules loading & linking, I decided to put down in the wiki all the information I found concerning SYSLINUX development. In this regard, I have created a special category on the
