...actually boot into linux. ~ The only tools for manipulating my cmos happen to be DOS utilities, and I was hoping that I could script their use in autoexec.bat or somewhere similar. I noticed that neither autoexec or linux.bat are executed. It seems that the syslinux bootloader bypasses any use of loadlin, is this correct? My other option would be not to use syslinux, but to boot into DOS and script a call to loadlin. The problem is that I haven't been able to create (and more importantly automate) the creation of a partition that will boot into DOS. I'm using a compact flash card as my m...

Can I boot to memdisk using loadlin.exe? I saw that there were references to loadlin in the memdisk init.S (at least in the 2.04 version) so I thought it would be possible. If there's some resource that I can refer to I'd love to know that. DR-DOS 7.02 loadlin.exe 1.6c Sorry if this is a FAQ, I looked through the digest so...

..., I'm a newbie on all of this so this might be a very stupid question! I have a DOS boot disk which loads generic USB drivers to make my USB pen drive accessible under DOS. The pen drive has a number of floppy disk images on it of various utilities and I want to mount these using MEMDISK via LOADLIN. All my attempts so far either freeze the PC or reboot it! I have tried running it from the c: drive (with no DOS drivers loaded at all) just to make sure that the USB drivers are not causing the problem but I get the same result. The floppy disk images are fine - I have used them with an ISOLIN...

Hi, My computer has only primaly IDE but not secondaly. I connected a hard drive as Master and DVD-R as Slave on IDE. BIOS doesn't recognize IDE devices, but Windows XP that boots up from SATA hard drive can recognize DVD-R and can read files on the CentOS Installer Disk 1 of 4. Is it possible to start Centos4 Installer from WindowsXP? If possible, which file on Disk 1 should I click? Even

Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who wants to boot larger (2.5) kernels from floppies. yours, - clifford PS: Linux-Kernel and FreeDOS-Dev List members: I'm not subscribed to th...

Hi, What the the size limit of booting bzImage file with syslinux ? I have tested different sized bzImage files, and when the files are small <800K, they work with syslinuz, but at some size larger they fail to work. This was the same problem loadlin1.6 had, but loadlin1.6c fixes the issue, and I can boot bzImage sizes up to 1.5Meg with loadlin, but syslinux fails. Can you confirm this problem, and if you have the same problem, can you maybe look at what changed in loadlin, and include larger boot image support in syslinux? Cheers James

...h may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like pxelinux and isolinux do. Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then reboot to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive. Loadlin would be perfect if it supported OSes other than Linux. Suggestions? TIA! Tyler

...xperiment on syslinux and its derivative extlinux, and I am quite confused To the concept of extlinux. Seems extlinux need to modify the MBR of the hard disk. Am I right? And if I want to find an executable code which can be run under linux OS to load another Linux kernel/initrd image, just like loadlin.exe under DOS, What can I do then?

Is there a way I can use arclx.exe to load syslinux? Or has anyone had any experiance using an SGI Workstation 540? And what kind of options to put in Load Identifier = Linux Install OSLoader = \sgiboot\arclx.exe OSLoad Filename = /sgiboot\vmlinux OSLoad Partition = CDROM System Partition = CDROM OSLoad Options = load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=6000 root=/dev/fd0 rw which is in the bios Those

...ot the kernel and initial ramdisk on the CD using a floppy in some other fashion. The reason I am interested in doing this is that many of the systems that I currently have can not boot directly from CD and the kernel and initial ramdisk are to big to fit on a floppy or floppies. Unfortunately, loadlin is not a solution due to its kernel and ramdisk size limitations. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, David G.

Hi, I was wondering whether it is technically possible to go back from eg. DOS or Linux directly to the bootloader (instead of rebooting the hardware). We currently have 2 images (one DOS and one Linux) that need to be started before loading a system. They do things like disable PXE on NICs (using an Intel DOS tool), verify the correctness of the network patchings and validate if the

...at 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 pboot, loadlin (for reasons discussed in the archives), or other programs I have available. I would think this is possible as the memdisk provided RAM disk is loaded prior to DOS. Am I missing something here? Any insights would be appreciated. - Rick

Hi, Sorry for the newbie question, I've been searching the CentOS site and googled, but I couldn't find an answer (probably my bad). I want to install CentOS 4.5, but I'm having troubles with my CD reader. How can I install it from an FTP server ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards -- :wq! M?rio Gamito

Hi, I'm working on a Red Hat 7.3 based bootable cd. I have included a number of firmware update floppy images to it succesfully. However, I run into problems trying to build a floppy image for IBM ServerRAID firmware update. The firmware update disk set contains three disks. So their content does not fit into 1.44 nor 2.88 floppy images. To my understanding it possible to build a hard disk

Hi. I would like to install slackware linux onto my compaq tablet pc. the problem is that it doesn't have either floppy or cd-rom, but it does support booting from PXE or RPL. I was wondering if you can use the slackware install iso to boot via the network. Or do i have to do in another way? Thanks //Anders _________________________ ___m_ >><____('> enfisk.nu
