Hi, I'm the maintainer ROCK Linux (www.rocklinux.org). We are using isolinux on our Install-CDs for x86 systems. We - as most other distributions too - are running in the problem that even minimalistc kernels are slowly growing and sometimes don't fit on 1.44 MB floppies anymore. 2.5.x kernels with initramfs are even bigger than 2.88 MB in some cases... Until now it always has been

Hi. We've been using PXELINUX for years, to kick off OS installations (floppy images) and booting assorted tools. The addition of ISO support in memdisk opened up some new alternatives that we also use, e.g. booting WinPE ISO images over PXE. Today I downloaded a BIOS for a HP EliteBook 8440p and discovered that the BIOS file is 3 MB. I could probably squeeze it onto a 2.88 MB floppy image

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no

Hi, I'm working on a Red Hat 7.3 based bootable cd. I have included a number of firmware update floppy images to it succesfully. However, I run into problems trying to build a floppy image for IBM ServerRAID firmware update. The firmware update disk set contains three disks. So their content does not fit into 1.44 nor 2.88 floppy images. To my understanding it possible to build a hard disk

Hello, I am managing 15 separate boot disks with various network disk images. These disk images are used for network installs of Windows OS's. Basically the network boot disk contains dos, the network drive in question and the connection information to the shared server for doing a ghost install. The problem is the 1.44 disk doesn't hold enough space to accomplish the job. What I

Hello, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to

What changed between 1.72 and 1.73? Changelog doesn't indicate anything that would effect this that I can tell. created 1.68MB floppy using syslinux 1.73 FAILS using syslinux 1.72 BOOTS OK results: 1.73 - I can hear the floppy doing something, but no output to screen.

Hello all, I just installed syslinux 2.10 on my usb-stick. It still boots then, but doesn't load initrd.gz (same config file..). Reverting back to syslinux 2.09 works fine, eg: initrd.gz is loaded. Something changed in initrd handling code? greetz, Jaap Crezee NB I am willing to share you more information or hints how to solve the problem. I am using kernel 2.6.7-bk20

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required

Okay, the serial port feature in 3.11-pre9 was of course completely broken (I seem to have bad luck with -pre9's :)... a 3.11-pre10 is now available, and it does seem to have a more reliable handling of arrow keys ... *but not perfect*. There simply is no way to reliably detect both [Esc] and arrow keys on existing serial consoles. -hpa

Hi In the pxelinux page, is referred that the tftpd server from http://tftpd32.jounin.net as working with pxelinux. However, from the tests I've made, it seems that the 'tsize' option is not supported. Anyone has knowledge of a working TFTPD server that runs on Windows NT4? p.s. it can be shareware, I just want to test it with NT4, I have had success with the 'builtin'

Can extlinux / syslinux use a usb port for the console? Hi all, I just picked up a energy efficient server with built in 3 hour ups, toshiba Laptop. I've been using serial consoles for monitoring and controlling the boot process, but this laptop has only usb ports. Can Extlinux use ttyUSB0 for the console? I love the extlinux for booting usb devices. Thank you for the hard work,

I am still unable to build and boot large floppy images. 1.44, 2.88, and any size HD images work great. No problem. However I have BIOSes with problems booting HD images and would like to get large floppy working. I have tried every script and method I could find with PC DOC 7 and MS DOS 6.22. I have spent too much time analyzing boot sectors. So a few questions: 1. Who has actually see it

Hi all, I'm in need of creating a simple menu where two options must be available: 1) (default) Boot from local harddrive 2) start installation 2) option should display a simple text disclaimer and if agreed it then would ask for a number from 32 to 254 which is then appended to one of commandline parameters. I have quite a lot of experience with [sys|pxe|iso]linux and some programming
