Hello syslinux Mailinglist ;) I'm new to this mailing list, the RIP Readme brought me here. I'm quite new to syslinux/pxelinux and im trying to set up some kind of minimal linux which is bootable via lan. I found the http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ project, and what I read in the readme it will fit my needs. Basic infos: Host System running gentoo, dhcp-3.0.1-r1, tftp-hpa-0.40-r1 Client: 3com nic, which supports PXE I downloaded the http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/RIP-14.1.pxe.zip package and extracted it like...

...for a couple of years now. I use PXELINUX for a PXE server. I've only been able to boot linux kernel/initrd images and dos bootdisks, however now I'm wanting to create a boot image for the 'Rescue Is Possible' (RIP) linux recovery disk - http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ Previous versions came with a kernel and initrd that could be used with PXE but the latest version instead comes as an ISO image which uses syslinux which raises a couple of questions: 1) Is there some way I can use pxelinux/memdisk to boot a generic bootable ISO image? 2) Is there some way...

Hi, i did not succeed to get my test computer (Asus A7V8X-X of 2004) to boot from an isohybrid image. I tried http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/RIPLinux-7.0-non-X.iso which is obviously isohybrid enabled. The system has a "Promise Ultra 133 TX2" IDE controller which supercedes the mainboard BIOS. To make the system react on the USB stick i set boot option "USB ZIP" on both BIOSes. (Unclear whether the mainboard BIO...

I'm using the RIP Linux mini rescue distribution. http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ I have modified v. 7.0 for usage on our 32 node Tyan Tiger MPX Linux cluster with a serial console. Because of a bug with Grub on this motherboard when running headless and using a serial console I use the optional Isolinux version 2.08 also included with RIP Linux to boot from a CDROM. When...

I'd like to add a few things to rescue mode. I'm tired of having to use a floppy with hardware drivers when ever I need to go into rescue mode and there are a few other utilities that I'd like to add as well. How would I go about doing this? Any pointers to FAQ's or "How to's"? I've done some searching, but haven't found anything recent enough to be

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles
