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 extracte...

...SYSLINUX 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 ther...

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 mai...

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

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 CDR...

Hi, I need a little information from you all. Kindly update me about the file systems that are supported by SYSLINUX for ramdisk image... Thanks in advance and regards, Pankaj Agarwal

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

Hai , I am Prasanth .Newly subscribed to mailing list.I am in search for a boot loader which could boot linux form Usb flash memory. i am in process of building a new USB linux distribution . Can anybody give help. Things I need to know. Could syslinux could recognize a usb flash drive and filesystem inside that ? If yes is how ? Thanks in advance, Prasanth Kurian

Howdy, I know that syslinux doesn't currently support this, but does anyone here know how I might go about getting some sort of boot process together that would have a single firmware image as opposed to seperate files for initrd, kernel, and root fs? Thanks.

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre9. Please test it out, especially everyone who has been working with me on various systems trying to get them to work, or have had recent breakage. -hpa

Okay, this applies particularly to SYSLINUX, not ISO/PXE/EXTLINUX. If you have a system on which 2.13 boots and 3.0x don't, I would like to get as much information as possible about it. In particular, I would like to know: - What device are you booting from (floppy, USB, IDE harddrive...) - Motherboard manufacturer/model - CPU manufacturer/model (a dump of /proc/cpuinfo would
