...;system rescue cd" from a FAT primary partition. The procedure I followed was setting on the boot flag on the FAT partition and copying the content of the iso image to it and renaming isolinux to syslinux wherever needed. I then unmounted the device and ran "syslinux -d /syslinux/ -i /dev/sdxn" where sdxn is the appropriate partition. It worked nicely on both laptops i have at hand. Then I wanted to try the same using an ext2 partition instead and so using extlinux. For this, after creating an ext2 partition, moving the boot flag to it and copying the live linux files, I copied the...

The 'extlinux' command supports several (mounted) filesystems, not only extN. This series of patc...

Hello syslinux, Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block Also it can work with something like: $ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv or $ extlinux file_block --reset-adv We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in use), it will check whether the target is a directory or device and decide wh...

...e conclusion is that in the real world, we find both cases: 1 key for multiple devices with a single prompt, and 1 identical key for multiple devices with N prompts. @Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com>, do you think it's possible to add the ability to provide the UUID instead of /dev/sdxN ? We could document that the list of devices and UUIDs can be retrieved from lsblk and blkid. My 2 cents. On Tue, Nov 26, 2019 at 5:44 PM Richard W.M.

Nataraj, that worked fine, didn't need to --force it. Now I'm back to having two devices in md0 and two in md1, and they're the RIGHT two! :) Put the box in single-user mode to do the work, then after the array finishe...

Add install_file_to_device() to support unmounted ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem. Usage: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block We don't need any new options, it will check whether the target is a directory or device and decide what to do, it would stop and error if the device is mounted. More info: * It will use libext2fs to read and write the file. * It will be used when the target is a e...

Does SYSLINUX have any idea which DOS driveletter would be assigned to the disk it is booting from? At www.veder.com someone is trying to build a USB flash drive. However, FreeDOS does not seem to boot correctly from it (bootsector trouble maybe, or kernel itself is confusing drives), thus we're thinking of using Syslinux + Memdisk + bootimage, but somehow we want to be able to also access the

Now it's a good time to introduce the new tool 'o2info' since kernel part of OCFS2_IOC_INFO ioctl has been pulld upstream by linus. The following 6 patches have already got sunil's SOBs, and now they're trying to attract more reviewers before it goes to central repo with a modification of getting manual pages being introduced.
