Hi: I am having problems with isolinux.cfg I am receiving several error messages. 'Missing parameter in config file' and 'Unknown keyword in config file'. Here is a copy of my Isolinux.cfg maybe sombody can help me figure it out: default ks prompt 1 timeout 60 display custom.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 custom.msg

Hi: Two scripts (mkbd.fails and mkbd.works) are attached to this message. The only difference between them is in how syslinux.cfg (on a RedHat boot image) is replaced. mkbd.fails: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "mv -f". vmlinuz can't be found. mkbd.works: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "cp". vmlinuz is found. The only difference I can see between these two methods is that

hi, sorry for bothering the list but since I didn't find anything in the documentation or archives I would be grateful for your help. For a customized USB installer (based on redhat anaconda) I wanted to pass an kernel parameter which contains a colon. This leads twice to the error message "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." Quoting the append string using ' or "

Hello all, I plan to make an (emergency) multi OS bootable CD which contain: - Win98 boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - WinME boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - Linux boot disk - Win NT boot disk - Win 2000 recovery console - Win XP recovery console - Winternal Administrative Pak (ERD Commander etc) I am new to Linux and feel

Hi. I'm trying to put together a boot cd using isolinux, but I've run into a problem. The system I'm trying to boot with this cd complains that it "Could not find kernel image: linux". This is the isolinux.cfg file that I'm using default linux prompt 1 timeout 600 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.2.14 append initrd=rootfs_new.img lang=

Hi all, I'm looking for some menu examples for Murali's menu system. Specifically, a headstart on creating a Kickstart menu which covers the most common options with the intention of creating this: label ks.menu kernel vmlinuz.ks.$DIST append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://kickstartserver/$DIST/Custom/ks.cfg.$DIST initrd=initrd.ks.$DIST lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 Hmm...looking

Hi All, Interesting that I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but what happens to text that is typed after the label on the syslinux prompt? My current issue is I'm using PXE to do kickstart installations. I want the ability to do "rescue" boots also with PXE. I've gone looking at the current RH80 disk 1 which has this capability. It has a directory called

Hi, I just upgraded syslinux to version 3.0.7 from 2.13, but my pxe client got some warning messages. The pxelinux config file looks like: default memtest timeout 70 prompt 1 #--------------------------------- label local localboot 0 #--------------------------------- label memtest # note! *.bin is specially purpose for syslinux, # do NOT use memtest86.bin, use memtest86 instead of

Hello ! Maybe passing argument root=/dev/ram0 or root=/dev/rd/0 would help ?

I'm trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree 'CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso' via http on server 'Z', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it's a memory problem); it's required keyboard

I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?)

Hello all! I try mondo/mindi for some days now but it does not work and I don't know the reason. It is an intel Suse-8.0 Client and I use the Suse-8.0 packages from ftp.mondorescue.org. dhcp and tftp work fine. mondoarchive works, but I don't find any initrd.img for pxe/nfs. All initrd I have found ask for a CDROM and as they cannot find any they ask for a floppy when starting the pxe

Hi, I have built a Red Hat 7.2 system kernel 2.4.7-10 using pxelinux from syslinux-2.09 I have then installed the latest Broadcom BCM5700 Linux Driver Version 7.1.22 as per the README.TXT:- rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.1.22-1.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec rpm -ivh --force RPMS/i386/bcm5700-7.1.22-1.i386.rpm The system reboots fine and is using the new driver I now want to update my

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a... Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01 I realize

The following is a pxelinux problem, specifically to do with including config files with the menu include directive and the ifcpu64.c32 com module. I have a working ifcpu64.c32 setup that jumps to the label rescue64 in the case of a 64-bit CPU. The label "rescue64" defines a 64-bit kernel and a 64-bit initrd.img. The setup jumps to a label named "rescue32" in the case of a

I had a little trouble installing WINE and, becuase of that, tried several different versions. It turned out the sound trouble was not a WINE issue, but a devfs issue, so I deactivated devfs (devfs=nomount). I am using the latest RPM of Codeweaver's WINE with Mandrake 8.1. I've got Codeweaver's WINE up and running now. When I first tried this, I could type a win .exe file from

Have been trying some things, but something isn't working at least with using Virtual Box with EFI option. With it off, the cd boots as normal, and works, but with EFI on, it has an error that flashes on screen, and then it drops to a shell prompt. I'm hoping it is just a dumb mistake I am making, and can be resolved. Perhaps I've named the directories incorrectly, or there is a

Sir or Madam, I am in a new project writing software for embedded apps. We use a single board computer consisting of (a) linux (b) syslinux boot loader (c) compact flash file system (d) x86 processor. (see www.embeddedx86.com) (e) other HW and SW. Using vendor provided files, I can easily prepare a compact flash (CF) system which boots 2.4.23 linux just fine. I can telnet in and so on and so

Hello list. I have configured a Linux box for booting from a Compact Flash instead of a Hard Disk, this is an IDE CF, Syslinux is on the MBR because it loads, when I put the the kernel file named as linux as it expects i load it but when I rename it expecting it to load the SYSLINUX.CFG it does not load the menu as I would like, I will put two images on that Compact flash in order to boot from
