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

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

forgive me.. i have no idea what im asking or if its possible... i have 2 partitions as follows and am using the std windows xp bootloader to boot xp - ntfs (windows xp) - fat16 stupid question is... can i use syslinux, isolinux, memdisk or some combo there of to place a bootable cdrom iso image on the fat16 partition and then have a boot menu with something to the effect of : 1) winxp as

OOPS. Hit the wrong key. Hope you didn't get the previous message! I've been using Barts Boot CD method at: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk It works great...trouble is, it creates a ramdisk of it's own. I end up with the following drive assignments when I boot DOS/Winxx: a: - memdisk image of boot floppy c: - hda1 d: - hda2 (etc) q: - ramdisk created by barts

Hi, I'm trying to use pxelinux+memdisk to boot to dos. And using dos tcp/ip connect to windows network. I've used winimage to create (dos.ima) image of dos bootable floppy. But when I type dos at boot: prompt, it doesn't boot to dos instead show a multi-coloured screen. At this moment ctrl+alt+delete also doesn't work. Pls help Jitender

Hey, Firstly i like to say good work on your project, I love the ability to use PXE to ghost all my machines without the use of floppy disks. Now i managed to setup PXE correctly using a copy of Barts Boot Disk's with ModBOOT and modified it to meet our company needs. This works perfect and i can ghost not a problem using the standard loader prompt boot: and inserting text depending on

I have been trying to track down information on building HD boot images for ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and so far, haven't had a whole lot of luck. I've found a number of sources describing the process of setting up ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and how to configure the boot CD to boot various OS's. I've also read through Bart Lagerweij's BootCD/ModBoot pages, and Mikhail

There is some interest lately in making a self-contained grub2 boot image - call it pvgrub2, used for booting paravirtual domU in xen where a grub2 config is installed. First attempt------------------ I first tried using the grub2*.src.rpm from the C7 vault. I configured as shown belowhttps://blog.xenproject.org/2015/01/07/using-grub-2-as-a-bootloader-for-xen-pv-guests/ for headers, I used

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

First off I love syslinux and it has worked flawless for us on the unix side of the realm. We're trying to use our ghost images within a dos netboot using syslinux. Unfortunatly we can only pass DHCP ip's to hosts that exhibit a vendor code 'like windows/pxe/and other os's do". Unfortunatly DOS does not, so we cannot request a second IP after the pxe process to map samba

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?) SYSLINUX (isolinux) 2.00 ----8<------8<---- SERIAL 0 38400 TIMEOUT

Hi Debian Grub maintainer, In december, Xen PVH support has been committed in grub master: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel at gnu.org/msg28125.html The last pieces needed in the Linux kernel to boot PVH with grub2 landed in Linux 4.20. I asked our kernel team to carry those patches on top of the Linux 4.19 kernel that is going to ship in Buster, and that wish was granted:

I don't understand what this means, I found it in root's email this morning: To log into the recovery system via ssh set up /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or specify SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD WARNING: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst not found, grub2-mkimage will likely fail. Please install the grub2-efi-x64-modules package to fix this. ERROR: Error occurred during grub2-mkimage of BOOTX64.efi

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 "

Hey All, I'am using pxelinux to try and boot a 200meg uncompressed (approx 50 compressed) ramdisk onto a machine with 512meg of ram. It looks as though I'am running out of memory (attempt to access beyond end of device error). Is there a limit on what we put for ramdisk_size? Or Is there other limitations? thanks -- Jeff Geddes, BSc(UNB) Computer Systems Specialist University of

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 am trying to extract and combine the various pieces of information found in [1] and its sub-pages and the Xen in-tree documentation in order to make xen boot (potentially non-smp without some later changes). But since I am not familiar enough with Arm I think I am stuck doing something wrong. I compiled the hypervisor with debug and early printk for midway and use the xen.bin file (I could get

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
