Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU...

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on...

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i can't tell pxelinux.cfg that it should boot the kernel and append initrd or...

...(backward compatibility) would be preserved, because it would still look to these hardcoded directories first, but if the config file is not found inthere, it would try all other directories and all other subdirectories (say, to recursion level 2). This way, people could install syslinux with -d /slax/boot/ and then syslinux would find its config file even in /slax/subdir/, without any additional patches (which I am currently forced to do). Is this idea acceptable? Should I try to code it and submit patches? Beware I am no C coder, I prefer to rather SPONSOR the work :) Name your price! :) Th...

...y syslinux? I remember reading that I should make a disk bootable in linux by the command dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sd[x] and am starting to think this could get ugly for a verifiable checksum for mbrcheck as I think it always looks at the first 440 bytes but from what I see the mbr.bin that comes with slax is only 404 bytes thus if there was stuff in the last (440-404=) 36 bytes it would be left un-clobbered causing a different checksum depending on what was already on the disk. I don't know what the windows version of syslinux does to make a device bootable and am asking this mailing list. The s...

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text in the drop-down menus. Graphics work just fine, and text works fine on the local X11. I've been experiencing the problem with 0.9.5 and forward, including the recently released 0.9.8, a...

...nA, it will work. However if your first Enter keypress is on OptionB for example, it loads correct submenu (01001) but doesn't set the MENU DEFAULT - in this submenu, menu default is set to second row, but syslinux puts cursor on the first row. Any ideas how to fix that? Thank you! Tomas M slax.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the record, the stanza that fails: #### LABEL bartpe MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL ^BartPE/WinPE TEXT HELP Boot the ultima...

...>, the screen froze. I tried a hard reset, but of course, the boot process would stop short very early in the process. Now, I have backups of the important stuff of course, so no real catastrophe. But it would be nice if I could get back the data from my disk directly. I booted a rescue disk (Slax 9.6.4) and I can see my disks as well as raid arrays /dev/md125, /dev/md126 and /dev/md127. Oh, my partitioning scheme is manual and quite simple. Everything is RAID 1, I have a /boot array on /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1, swap on /dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb2 and / on /dev/sda3 + /dev/sdb3. I tried to mount /de...

...every time. 3. I compile it myself, so I'll work on getting a libvirt-debug build going. So this is compiled on Slackware64-14.1 as I prefer a more bsd linux and like the simplicity of a traditional init, as well as the ability to cook this down into a very simple usb based distro not unlike slax. Earlier I posted a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210903) and got a reply fro Shanzhi that said that he was unable to reproduce using libvirt-1.2.14-1.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-rhev-2.2.0-8.el7.x86_64, but I don't see his comment on the ticket anymore, so I wonder if he was a...

...n syslinux refuses to work. Is it possible to fix syslinux to try more filesystems, not only msdos? Or is it possible to call the mount command somehow without filesystem option at all, so the kernel (or whatever) will decide itself what filesystem to use? Thank you for consideration Tomas M slax.org
