Greetings one and all. I'm a unix newbe....so deal with me here. I have a .iso copy of syslinux 1.67 (which actually might be ISOlinux??) that I boot from CD (ramdisk version...no HD needed)... but my version doesnt have the mkdosfs utility on it. I was looking for an executable that would work with this version... can someone point me toward such an animal??? :Pat

...lly functional, so there's a short window between start of initialisation and framebuffer registration when two drivers touch the hardware. Unfortunately sometimes it breaks nouveau initialisation. Fix it by kicking firmware driver(s) before we start touching the hardware.

Hi all, new to this list ;) I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. lspci|grep VGA says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1) I have Slacware64-13.0 and Slackware64-current installed. Nouveau is modularized in all my kernels for -current. A problem arise even if I don't want to use nouveau under X: unless nouveau be blacklisted in

Thanks for all the input everyone. I can understand the problem more clearly now.

Precis: I?m trying to debug a problem with CentOS7 failing to install from an ISO written to a USB pendrive ? anyone got suggestions? What works ? installing on a modern, ?standard PC?; the pendrive image boots and installs as I expect What does not work ? same pendrive booting in an ATCA blade. What I?ve tried is? 1. Boot the standard CentOS7 minimal image. This seems to start but then

But i cannot find an example in my ISOs collection. It may be i confused this with goofiboot equipped slint*.iso images. In my collection there is also slint64-current-efi-stub.iso but this seems to boot by a si...

Hi all, I have requested tests of this USB installer: http://slint.fr/testing/slint64-14.1_syslinux.6.03.img in both BIOS and UEFI modes.

Hi there. Slackware's installer, that I am internationalizing, makes use of ISOLINUX. I want to give instructions to users in other languages than US English, e.g. which code to type to see installation messages in their native language. So my question are: (1) Which character encodings can be used in message.txt and f1.txt through f1O.txt? (2) Is UTF-8 allowed? (3) I'm guessing that

Hi, i think i found the reason for the boot failure in the definition of Extended Boot Records. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record#Values "Starting sector = relative offset between this EBR sector and the first sector of the logical partition. Note: This is often the same value for each EBR on the same hard disk; usually 63 for Windows XP or older." So if
