...C to build a bootable USB thumbdrive. We added a script to init.d in the ram disk to execute one our scripts during LNX-BBC boot from the USB thumb drive. I have seen an apparent difference between the Linux syslinux (we use RedHat 7.3) and the SYSLINUX.EXE windows version. We can create bootable thumbdrives with both versions of syslinux, however when using the linux version of syslinux the booted system executes our "added" script in init.d - however - when we use the SYSLINUX.EXE version we can boot the thumbdrive however our "added" script in init.d does not execute. The only...

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it. I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to

I have a bootable usb thumbdrive now... three partions, msdos for syslinux booting, ext3 and swap. How can I grab my QEMU installed centos 4 image and put it on the ext3 /dev/sdc2 partition on my thumbdrive? THanks, Jerry

I've been poking at this for quite a while, and have never been able to get it to work. I've found a couple links with some partial truths: ? http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-make-a-usb-boot-disk-for-centosrhel-from-iso-file/ ? http://brakkee.org/site/2013/05/09/creating-a-usb-install-for-centos-6-4/ The first one talks about converting a standard iso to a 'hybrid' image, using:?

The big picture is I'm wanting to boot centos 7 and install kvm. So far I've created on this new laptop a big, empty partition; in the BIOS enabled legacy booting and disabled UEFI; also in BIOS under Legacy Boot Order set "USB diskette on key/USB hard disk" on second priority. I've tried to boot from a usb thumbdrive three times and it failed all three times. I'm

Hi I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386, copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 on the device plugged it into my laptop and it does not boot. Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry

Is there anything new on installing centos 5.1 on a 4G thumbdrive? What about the number of writes to the flash? Is that still a problem? Jerry

Hi Is there a way to attach Usb thumbdrive serial number to mounted drive? I see that there is something in the Winecfg. but it does not seem to either save the serial when I put it. Maybe it is unfuncional. The reason I am looking for a solution for this is that I have Windows app that checks the usb drives real serial number. thanks

I will really hate myself if this has already been solved, i searched the archives but didn't really find anything pertaining to it. I have a 2.88mb dos boot floppy image, with ghost.exe, dos nic drivers, and dos system files. It works fine when burnt to a cd. As for the thumbdrive when trying to configure this hpghost.ima file to run from my syslinux.cfg menu, it works and boots up fine but

Hi all Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media? Seems like it should work, however my machine only has syslinux not isolinux. yum provides isolinux does not return anything. Anyway I was trying to get to a point where I can just stick a

Anyone have instructions or have been successful in booting centos 5.2 from an thumbdrive? I have instructions for centos 4 from http://fungliding.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_fungliding_archive.html and that worked. However, it doesnt seem to be working for centos 5.2. Thanks for any tips. Jerry

...t of times trying to get my WinPE to work off the syslinux loader. I used to use isolinux, and my isolinux config would just invoke the etfsboot.com file which i had renamed to loader.bin, and everything would work just fine off a cd. But now I'm trying to transfer all of my cd functionality to thumbdrives. With Syslinux, i have my syslinux.cfg file calling loader.bin like I used to and it doesn't work from the thumbdrive, i'll get these weird CDBOOT: Can't find BOOTMGR messages and stuff I'm curious though, if I freshly format my thumbdrive and just copy my PE files to it and boot o...

If you're planning to dual-boot, you'll have to reinstall your other OS after changing the boot type. There shouldn't be any reason to disable UEFI or, in most cases, Secure
