similar to: automatic boot (question)

I haven't used syslinux or isolinux before, so please excuse newbie questions. Is there a way to execute commands from the command prompt automatically? The reason I'm asking is I'd like to make a bootable restore CD that will be fully automated. I don't want the end user to have to do anything other than insert the CD and boot.

Hello! I get some odd behaviour using my structs: "myKernelMap" = type {int (sbyte*)*, int ()*} "Kernel" = type {"myKernelMap"*} The second member ( int()* ) is a pointer to the %getchar() function. I want to call getchar using this function: int "callmyKernelgetchar_kernel"("Kernel"* "myKernel") { "PTRMAP" =

In Syslinux 5-6.02, the "global append" directive is being (unintentionally) ignored in some cases. Updating Syslinux from prior versions, when using a "global append" directive, will cause unexpected results. For example, take the following simple configuration file: *** DEFAULT mykernel APPEND root=/dev/sda2 *** Note that the 'append' line is a global

Hi, I just tried to boot my token ring devices with 2.05 - to no avail, it hangs after loading the kernel. I then tried older versions, and found 2.03 booting like a charm, and every 2.04-pre including 2.04 hanging. Here's the config of the devices: - Networkstation 2800 with IBM PCI Token Ring card 2 - IBM Thinkpad T21 with IBM PCI Token Ring card 2 Maybe this has to do with the changes

Hi there. I'm new to syslinux, I've been readin all the documentation that I could but had no luck.. My problem is that, I have a simple configuration dhcp.conf 3.01rc12 with this options group next-server servidor filename "pxelinux.0" hostname terminal-2 hadrware ethernet xxxxxxxx fixed address xxxxx option root-path

Hello! I'm having trouble with pointer traversing. I have a design as follows: class -> map -> classFunctions Starting with a pointer to the class, I want to get a pointer to a classFunction via a pointer to the map. I can't get that function pointer! How shall I think to get the traversing right (see code below)? Is it something with the fact that I am using only pointers in my

Hi, I have tried to enable IPSec support for my FreeBSD( 4.11-RELEASE) system. First, I copied the generic kernel configuration file to a file I called MYKERNEL: #cp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL Then, I added the following three lines to the options section of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL: options IPSEC options IPSEC_ESP options

> Is there something I could do A_ Instead of 6.03, try 6.04-pre1 (not pre2 and not pre3, but pre1). Please remember to change _all_ related files to the same version, not just lpxelinux.0. Alternatively (and in many cases, even better) you could try current Debian's "Unstable" packages, which are "more up-to-date" than 6.04-pre1. B_ In the configuration file,

Hello, I noticed after upgrading from 3.20, I haven't been able to get syslinux to boot properly with menu.c32 or mboot.c32 from a USB key. I get an error saying invalid kernel when its trying to load menu.c32 or mboot.c32 (or any other kernel for that matter). I tried 3.35 and 3.36-pre5. Same exact behaviour. I'm using the following to compile: gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux

Perhaps it would be worth some additional tests? Maybe a test with pxelinux.0 version 4.07? And using "LINUX", not "KERNEL": ### DEFAULT biginitrd PROMPT 0 LABEL biginitrd LINUX mykernel INITRD

Hello Syslinux Team, I have some suggestions / requests regarding global APPEND commands. These would make the behavior more consistent and more useful for practical cases. 1_ Add some functionality equivalent to "APPEND -" to the command prompt. 2_ Activate the functionality of ONERROR from [vesa]menu.c32 too. Currently, ONERROR only works from the command prompt. 3_ Add a new

Hello, I saw this in the release notes for 4.00: "PXELINUX: TFTP URL syntax (tftp://) supported even when not running gPXE/gpxelinux" I can't find any info describing this new functionality (searched wiki and mailing list), I'm guessing you can now use tftp:// in the paths, e g: LABEL mylabel KERNEL tftp://servername/path/to/mykernel APPEND myoptions Correct? I've

Greetings, Hopefully a quick question.. I have been experimenting with pxelinux and have noticed the following, when using initrd.gz - vmlinuz needs to exist 'tftpboot' directory, else I get an error from pxelinux. eg. kernel/vmlinuz - vmlinux also needs to exist in initrd.gz (in the same relative path eg. kernel/vmlinuz) else Linux is not booted.
