Some kernel images use the Linux kernel boot protocol and header structure, but do not actually have any protected-mode code. For instance, grub's 1024-byte lnxboot.img consists of 1024 real-mode bytes and 0 protected-mode bytes; you can concatenate it with a full grub core.img to produce a self-contained bootable kernel, but you can also use it standalone as the kernel with the core.img loaded as an initrd. syslinux 4 supports this, but it no longer works wi...

...the reports, the tests and the patch. There have been discussions and/or reports somewhat related to this matter during 2013 (Mar-Dec), and reports about failing to boot some kernels with Syslinux 6.03 (2014Q4). The topics involved: _ Kernels with no protected-mode code (e.g. grub's kernel lnxboot.img initrd=core.img) _ bzImage and zImage files _ memdisk _ grldr, plop(bm)... _ memtest (and alternatives), DBAN, several hardware testers... _ gPXE/iPXE... _ Older kernels and/or kernels for older machines (e.g. PuppyLinux and family and derivatives; I could mention several others) _ Non-reloca...

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1
