hi, I want to prepeare a CD which will use isolinux to boot so I got the source code of isolinux. Unfortunately I couldn't find enough document to satify my needs.Therefore I got the isolinux folder of Xubuntu CD and I have modified the isolinux.cfg file.My content of modified isolinux.cfg file is shown below. DEFAULT /boot/kernel-2.6.16.24-49 GFXBOOT bootlogo APPEND boot=boot

Hello, I am an active member of the Vinux community and have taken on a project of remastering a Ubuntu installation Cd in order to make it accessable to a blind user. I am able to sound the system bell when the boot menu loads by adding a ^G to the label statement which works well to tell a blind user they are at the boot menu. My intent is to sound the bell at each menu item, but I'm unable

Hello all, I'm trying to use the console to setup our cluster. In the past, we used a floppy and it worked just fine. We had to manually use the "ks=" argument. Now, I actually see the "menu" on the serial console *and* the monitor but I can't use the keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. Unplugging the keyboard doesn't help.

I would like to see that it is possible to specify which config file should be loaded. I would like to have an extension of the CONFIG command. Normally CONFIG loads the file that is specified after it. It should be nice if syslinux/isolinux/pxelinux/extlinux can choose which config file to load, based on the bootloader from which the current config is runned. If I will explain it with an

Hi, I don't know if that is intentional or a bug: ---<snip>--- DEFAULT 1 DISPLAY /isolinux/txt/message.txt PROMPT 1 F1 /isolinux/txt/about.txt F2 /isolinux/txt/message.txt ---<snap>--- if i boot into the system and press F2 i get about.txt. then i press F2 and get message.txt again. If i then press F1 again i do not get as expected the about.txt file, i just get another boot:

Hey Guys, I am trying to use the simple menu system to provide menus on my boot CDs. For testing, I have the following entry in my isolinux.cfg file: label linuxmenu kernel menu.c32 append menu32.cfg The option work as it should. I am trying to display two sets of menus. At the bottom of the menu32.cfg I have the following: label 64 menu label Press enter here for

Hi, I have a problem with isolinux failing to boot a kernel whenever I navigate and trigger the menu via serial console. My test machine is a DL585 G2, with iLO2. Navigating and booting the kernels off of the video console works 100% of the time. With the serial connection however, I _sometimes_ get a "menu.c32: not a COM32R image" error. Sometime it works fine. I suspect the serial

Hi Peter, I'm doing some work for HP creating various flavours of bootable CDs, and am using isolinux for i386 and elilo for ia64. We wanted the same interface on both systems, with the ability to choose a boot option from a menu with the cursor keys. To implement this I enhanced isolinux to support two new control fields in the message file: 0x01 ^A Mark left- or right-hand end of the

Thanks Didier, Stephanie used Anarchy Linux to make our menu work. Regarding the missing instructions at https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Menu After comparing the (now working) menu with our old non-working menu made using the instructions from the syslinux wiki page, she found that it had many more .c32 files copied from /usr/share/syslinux and there were a few critical ones to

Hi Geert, I'm building syslinux 6.04 from scratch to prevent any issues with mismatched com32 modules. This gives me a "pure" set of modules as well as "pure" isolinux and syslinux cores. menu.c32 works perfectly on both the USB and CD boot media: I can move around the menu and select the command that I wish to use. In all cases, both the USB and CD boot properly into

I have just created an ISO containing Fedora and ISOLinux as the bootloader. This is the ISO creation command: genisoimage -U -r -v -T -J -joliet-long -V "Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -volset "Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -A "Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e

I'm trying to get the menu working with ISOLINUX. So far any time I use a memory test such as ram stress test or memtest86 it reboots or locks up.. If any one could point me in the right place to get some info on how to set up the menu It would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm using the "simple menu" that is included with the SYSLINUX package. I've used ISOLINUX for

Hi, I'm missing something in my isolinux.cfg configuration but I'm not quite sure what it is. menu.c32 displays properly over video console, but on the serial connection, the first letter of the labels are duplicated, and the margin is pushed off towards the right: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59666947/isolinux.jpg my config is: --- cut --- 1. serial 0 115200 2. console 0 3. 4.

We're currently working on a custom distro which would have an isolinux boot menu. We're currently not able to make it work, and are looking for a good example of an isolinux/ directory of an iso with such a boot menu. If anyone knows one (on github, ...) please let us know. Also, we think that there is either something missing from the instructions over at

Conditions to trigger this bug(s): 1_ Boot with ISOLINUX (SYSLINUX seems fine). 2_ Do NOT use the UI directive. 3_ In between TEXT HELP - ENDTEXT directives, use more than one line of text. *** syslinux.cfg start *** DEFAULT vesamenu.c32 PROMPT 0 LABEL pwd1 COM32 pwd.c32 TEXT HELP one line of text two lines of text ENDTEXT *** syslinux.cfg end *** Result: the system ([vesa]menu) hangs.

Hello list, I am trying to use the console to setup my machine. During boot I am able see the syslinux boot prompt on the serial console *and* the monitor, but I can not use the console keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. After the kernel is loaded, the console keyboard starts working, but, this does not help me much, since I still need to use the keyboard

Hi - I am trying to make a centos 5.2 x86_64 boot USB device for installation. I copied the centos 5.2 x86_64 DVD to a USB pen drive formatted for FAT32. I then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 to get it to boot. I mounted it, and did cp isolinux/vmlinuz . cp isolinux/isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg then setup the MBR. THe device booted but I got an error message about unknown command in the syslinux.cfg
