Howdy to all, We've been using isolinux quite successfully for quite some time now, and I have come across a couple of laptops where isolinux balks at my config file.. Upon booting on this systems, the image background appears corrupted, and at the boot prompt, the following happens automatically. Unknown keyword in config file. Could not find kernel image: 1 boot: Any label input here

Hi, In order to work around a known upstream bug I needed to add a udev rule to pxeboot initrd.img on CentOS 7. The process is straightforward: 1 - extract the pxeboot initrd.img to a new directory 2 - add the udev rule needed to fix the bug 3 - pack and compress it back in initrd.img format The resulting updated image works, it fixes the upstream bug and life is good. But although it works,

Hi, I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great. This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my

Hi all! It's my first message on this ML. I just installed Fedora Core and I had a small problem... kernel + initrd do not fit in a 1.44 disks... I looked at documentation and at code (kernel.inc) and I saw that syslinux - load kernel - load initrd - boot kernel So perhaps a small workaround for above problem should be to add a configuration to initrd (ie initrd=@initrd.img) to just ask to

Hi 1. Is it possible to load an initrd from initramfs ? How would you do this if the initramfs is being loaded dynamically in the kernel (ie having the initramfs as initrd ) Because in this case, you will say root = /dev/initrd and specify 'initrd' as your 'initramfs source file' How will you specify the second initrd source? Thanks Rachita.

Hi, I recently put together an OpenSuse 10.2 machine (Tyan motherboard with Opteron dual-core) and downloaded the Xen 3.1 rpm''s. After loading them and modifying grub to boot into the Xen kernel, I get a "file not found" error on the xen initrd file. As it turns out, there is a link for the xen initrd file in /boot/grub but the file doesn''t exist. Not sure what

Igor asked about APPEND: > In other words: Can I break up a long line into multiple lines > in 5.01 or 5.10pre now or is that still not supported? I also wonder: can one control whether the INITRD parameter gets prepended or appended? Right now it seems to be placed after APPEND parameters, but might be more useful if it came first. The Debian/Ubuntu installers will copy parameters

Greetings, Hopefully a quick question.. I have been experimenting with pxelinux and have noticed the following, when using initrd.gz - vmlinuz needs to exist 'tftpboot' directory, else I get an error from pxelinux. eg. kernel/vmlinuz - vmlinux also needs to exist in initrd.gz (in the same relative path eg. kernel/vmlinuz) else Linux is not booted. [I haven't confirmed

Hi all If I use nfsroot boot the xen dom0, I find it works well if not use initrd-2.6.32.9.img. what does "initrd-2.6.32.9.img" contains?

Many times when i boot my Xen machine i get a message saying something like "The greeter application has failed many times, using alternative greeter." From there on I can do everything OK as far as i can see. Sometimes when i boot the machine, it just randomly restarts halfway through the boot process. It has also been crashing alot lately when i try to run it 24/7. Any ideas? here

Im n/w booting machine with kernel - vmlinuz and initrd initrd.img. I copied vmlinuz & initrd.img from RHEL4 iso. I want to modify initrd.img so that when 2nd stage boot loader loads initrd, my custom application gets executed. linuxrc in initrd.img is sym-link to /sbin/init. My steps: 1. Renamed linuxrc to linuxrc1 2. created new linuxrc script & invoked "/linuxrc1" from
