Hi, The method to boot an ISO using memdisk, memdiskfind and phram described in the wiki looks very promising to me. So, I looked into the sources trying to understand, how this works. Up to now, I could not find out how the memory containing the ISO image is preserved from being overwritten by the Linux kernel. Probably I'm missing something, coul...

Hi together, this is the second version of my cross-compilation patch serie. I'm sending it in the hope to get an honest review, and possibly see the patches integrated upstream. Those patches allow to build syslinux using a toolchain different from the host one by explicitely using the host toolchain for the utilities that are required at build-time / on the build machine. I am using the

Question, Some Linux distributions I support show two approaches for pxe booting them. One uses memdisk to boot an ISO file. The other uses pxelinux to boot kernel and initrd a squashfs file. I'm unfamiliar with the impact to memory either approach has. Like, does using memdisk permanently squirrel away a chunk of memory for the ISO file that the OS will be unable to use? Is using initrd to

...l down the squashfs file more or less efficient? > I would appreciate any insight! Apologies for the noob question :) Generally, the RAM that MEMDISK uses is permanently reserved however that doesn't mean it's unusable. You can still mount the ISO assuming you have the right tools like memdiskfind. As far as efficiency, a small initrd to fetch another file will be more efficient (an ISO might have extra unnecessary stuff like a copy of the kernel and initrd) and would load faster. In my experience TFTP with PXE tops out around 1 MB/s while an HTTP load can easily see 17MB/s or more. lpxel...

Hi all, I am new to Syslinux and Memdisk. I setup a PXE boot server that services an image file via memdisk. This works very well. However, I am trying to figure out as to where memdisk the image puts in memory? On the wiki page it says: "MEMDISK simulates a disk by claiming a chunk of high memory for the disk and a (very small - 2K typical) chunk of low (DOS) memory for the driver itself,

Hi, I am trying to boot a server via PXE with following configured for its PXE. LABEL IMP MENU LABEL IMP LINUX memdisk INITRD linuxIso.iso APPEND iso I haven't been able to get this work, probably only because of network speed. PXE server is on RHEL 5.8 and syslinux 5.x While I was booting the server, I ran dstat on PXE server and saw the outgoing network speed was 400-500Bytes. So looks

Hi there, I've had issue with the integration of syslinux into the buildroot project [0]. After some research, it turned out that we were wrongly using the host toolchain instead of the target toolchain to build syslinux. This gave us bigger issues (for instance) when trying to link syslinux with gnu-efi, that was built using the target toolchain. The first one forces ld to output i386
