I have a USB disk with syslinux files installed in /boot/syslinux, and the bootloader is installed into MBR or VBR I then extracted a *.iso file which uses syslinux as the bootloader, into root dir of the disk. The iso file contains a rescue OS or an OS installer. Now I got the directory /isolinux with files isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg in this folder I can now boot into syslinux, but *what to

Hi, I try to boot some bootcd copy on the hard drive. I read (an try) that it's impossible to boot a cdrom .ISO image . ok So now I "unzip" the .iso into a folder (not a partition ! Because I have lot of .iso), and convert the entry from the isolinux.cfg to a valid grub entry (put in my menu.lst). The iso come from a bootable cd with isolinux. I will make a script for the

Hi all, This maybe a newbie question in which case I apologise hugely. While I'm not new to Linux I am new to bootloaders :-/ I would like to install a custom CD distribution on a system via serial interface (that bit I can do) but the system doesn't have a CD-ROM drive! I'm trying to copy the ISO to the disk and boot from that. So far I have done this... - Net boot the system

Hi, When we meet UEFI or EFI firmware, lots of linux os release use GRUB bootloader. But I wanna use isolinux to boot the installation environment and also the linux os installed. Some question puzzled me. Now, I look for your help: 1. I didn't found information about how to use syslinux(isolinux,etc.) in uefi. I wanna know that are there some differences of the isolinux configuration

I am trying to create a DVD with ISOLinux as the bootloader to allow my users to select to install either Linux or Windows. Having read the article http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2002-October/001135.html i am left in a bit of a confused state as it sort of half explains things. All i think i need to know is: 1. What files are needed to boot windows? 2. Where do i have to place the

Hello, I have specialized linux installation which uses ISOLinux bootloader. Recently isolinux version has changed from 4.05 to 5.10. From that time there is a problem with VirtualBox VM, It crashes (guru meditation) on attempt to boot from HDD or hangs on installation from CD. Strange part is, the very same ISO on ESXi VM works like a charm. Also burned on CD and started on "real"

Hi, Just found out about ISOLINUX - looks good. I hope to use it in a new version of overfoldix - homepage at http://www.computeraddict.fsnet.co.uk/overfoldix/index.htm - and I just need a few questions answered: 1) Is there a limit on the kernel size? ie, does the bootloader and kernel have to fit into a certanin size? 2) Is there a size limit on initrd.gz? Everything is going to run from ram,

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

Hi, we are the developers of an alternative to mkisofs: program xorriso from libburnia-project.org . The current development cycle is about support for creating bootable CDs, DVDs, BDs. So we look for testers and for advise about ISOLINUX specifics. The example from the ISOLINUX wiki is supposed to work if you replace "mkisofs" by "xorriso -as mkisofs". I.e: xorriso -as

Hi, This is off topic for this list, but someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. For a couple of years I have been using ISOLINUX + MEMDISK and Smart Boot Manager to chainload a CD-ROM boot after loading a floppy image into RAM with MEMDISK. My problem now is that Smart Boot Manager does not support/detect SATA optical drives used in new hardware. Does anyonw

Hi I am having problems loading bcdw (http://bootcd.narod.ru) from the isolinux bootloader. I use this to load the acronis programs. It worked fine up till version 3.51 but does not work anymore with 3.52. Here is the code to load the second bootmanager label l kernel /bcdw/bcdwboot.bin Any insights to what might be wrong here? With 3.52 I get Error! Cannot load

In fact, I discovered that the bug is caused when there is no primary hard disk image (no hard disk 0). When an HD image is created and attached, ISOLINUX works well: ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H.

I'm new to the ISOLINUX development cycle, and I've tried a few times to come up with a solution. I'm trying to recompile isolinux.bin to look for the config files in a directory other than root, /boot/isolinux, or /isolinux. Ideally, this directory would be /lpc/isolinux. I've tried changing the plain text values in isolinux.asm to reflect these changes and recompiling using

Hi, I tried to install redhat 8.0 on a laptop and ran into the following problem. ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 isolinux failed to get sector size, assuming 0800 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... At that point, I followed the advice on the isolinux webpage, and reburned a CD using isolinux 2.00 with debug. The error message was: ISOLINUX 2.00 2002-10-25 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H. Peter

I am trying to rebuild Red Hat Linux 9 on DVD. I am using the provided isolinux 2.00 (I tried the latest 2.04, with the same results), and I get an error trying to boot from the DVD. I burned the boot.iso (basically a triple-wide boot disk using the same isolinux directory) to DVD, and it booted fine. The error I get when booting the DVD using isolinux-debug.bin is this (copied by hand):

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux
