similar to: Booting from DiskonChip 2000 ?

Good afternoon. I am trying to make a 32M DiskonChip2000 boot Linux (kernel version 2.2.20) but I'm having difficulty. It begins fine, loading most of the kernel, but halts immediately after the "Freeing unused kernel memory: 52K freed." step. The implication seems to be that my ramdisk is not being mounted/executed properly. My syslinux.cfg file is as follows: timeout=0

I keep getting the follwing error when trying to syslinux my DiskOnChip: ERROR 440D: Unable to lock drive for exclusive access I tried using the 4.2 and 5.1.4 DiskOnChip utils to format it first. I've tried 2 PCs and a few different DiskOnChips. I triied several options and always get the same message, The DiskOnChips have worked in DOS and Pharlap, so the Hardware is OK. Any ideas? TIA,

We're using PXELINUX for bootstrapping the network install our Linux cluster nodes. We just got some new IBM 326m dual-Opteron servers with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5780 dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports. These dual-Ethernet servers work in an annoying way with PXELINUX when we configure for booting from the local hard disk as the PXE-client downloads this file from the DHCP/TFTP server: label

I have a 40GB IDE laptop hard drive I took out of a dead laptop and I was hoping to put some good use to it. The drive is inside a USB drive enclosure and I carry it in my laptop bag. Its not big enough to be a backup drive, and generally too big to BIOS boot from. The chipset on the enclosure is from Prolific and registers as a "Mass Storage Device" I haven't had good luck with

Hello, I'm Jacques living in France. I have a problem when I use isolinux. I'm working on a multiboot cdrom so I make many "mkisofs" for testing. The problem is that when I modify the "isolinux.cfg" file and then build my image with mkisofs it's the previous configuration of my "isolinux.cfg" which appears on my screen (I run the .iso file with qemu...)

Hi, This AMD Elan board seems to be very problematic: http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-5500 I'm having various issues with booting recent Linux kernels with syslinux. syslinux-2.13 was the last version that worked and since syslinux-3.00 it doesn't work. When it doesn't work all I get is "Boot failed" from the bootsector. Since the obvious

Hi folks. I'm not very well versed in linux (although I understand the basics, having used unix quite a bit - albeit a long time ago). I've decided to make the break from windows, and I'm trying to learn something along the way. So, I have a Dell Vostro 200, Core 2 Duo, shipped with no OS. I decided to try the Live USB approach to get started. The first step, of course, is to

Hello List, I have below a patch (against Syslinux-1.62), which adds a pseudo-kernel 'swap' which swaps device numbers of the boot device and the first harddisk. It was made for a system equipped with a DiskOnChip (www.msys.com) device which 'steals' the device# of teh first harddisk, This patch is used to enable the syslinux on the DoC to continue booting from the harddisk as if

I am attempting to install Gentoo on my cdless machine using the thumbdrive as a boot device. The motherboard is an Intel D815EEA, and is the latest firmware revision (at least on the BIOS). I believe I have done everything right, but it tells me I have unknown keywords in my syslinux.cfg and corrupt kernel images. The steps I have followed are thus: 1) Starting with a 4GB flash device,

Hi, I've made several attempts to boot syslinux from the harddisk. I have a win 98 startdiskette with syslinux and copybs. I strictly follow the procedure in the syslinux documentation. Yet, the result of the boot is not that linux is starting. Instead, the Microsoft windows screen flashes for a couple of seconds and is then replaced by a Dos prompt. Syslinux is V2.04. The PC is an IBM Aptiva
