Hello sylvian Thanks. I use kernel 2.4.3 so far, and the Linux Progress Patch seems to start at 2.4.13.... What I don't understand is, why the kernel whipes out the VGA-display, as both Syslinux and the kernel is setup for serial-console. best regards ole at danelec.dk * danelec electronics a/s * Blokken 44 * DK-3460 Birkeroed * DENMARK * Phone: +45 45821879 * Fax: +45 45821979 *

Hello Luis Thansk Yes we tried that and it works, but if you are in the field and only have new clean compact-flash and no DOS, you are in trouble. I can syslinux directly to the USB card-reader/writer under Linux without problems too. It just appears as a SCSI-device(/dev/sda). best regards ole at danelec.dk * danelec electronics a/s * Blokken 44 * DK-3460 Birkeroed * DENMARK *

Hello I am trying to get a graphical-image(lss16) to be displayed during the booting of kernel and filesystem.

Hello syslinux We are using a compact-flash as bootmedium for SysLinux and Linux 2.4.x. We use an IDE to ComPact-flash 'converter' in the target. So far, we have generated the boot-medium on Linux-host, via a USB-compact-flash reader/writer, and this works fine. Our customer would like to generate new boot-flashes from Windows2000 via SysLinux.com. Now the problem starts, as

Hi Peter, I just noticed your check-in of the api headers. Are you planning on making the fat library also into an API? This would make things easier for me for my safeboot module (redundant bootloader which i mailed you about last week). I aleady moved some of the chainboot's partition finding logic into outside files, so I can add that to the API as well. thanks, Ram

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

Oh, Boy. I am in trouble now.... I just installed Centos on a USB drive on my corp notebook. To not TOUCH my corp drive. I spent time with the drive partitioner to make sure that nothing was done to the internal hard drive... Well I missed something and I overwrote the encrypted bootloader on the hard drive. Now what? Can I rescue things? I am leaving for my flight in a couple hours to

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought won't boot. And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks... So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.

Hi I'm using Centos 4.3 / gnome When I plug a usb flash disk as root, the drive is automounted and the icon shows up on the desktop (nice). But with any other user when I plug any usb drive there's no icon on the desktop, and if i open computer, the icon is there but if i try to open it there's an error message saying that only root can mount that drive. I've tried some things

Hi, I''m trying to migrate a VirtualBox virtual machine to Xen, but I haven''t been able to successfully boot it under xen (3.0.1 that comes with CentOS 5.5). Thinking that the problem was converting the disk format to a raw format, I tried converting the VDI disk with all these options: VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw disk.vdi disk.raw VBoxManage clonehd disk.vdi

Hi folks, I'm trying to make a CompactFlash bootable with SYSLINUX. The hard part is that I'm trying to run SYSLINUX on Windows 2000 and am attempting to write to the compactflash that's plugged in via a USB reader/writer. Its not working -- Windows complains about the 16-bit subsystem wanting direct access to the drive. So then is the problem SYSLINUX fighting with Windows or

Hello! I'm using a CompactFlash as storage device. Since those CF cards only have limited write cycles (CF does wear-levelling by itself, but you don't want to write too many timet so the card) i was wondering by what a factor the journaling of ext3 increases the write accesses to the CompactFlash compared to ext2. Thanks a lot already for your help! Sincerely Chris Braun

I've just updated to a snapshot of 4.9-PRERELEASE. The usb/umass support seems *much* more stable than I found it with 4.8. My Oracom USB MP3 player now works without errors, and achieves up to 400KB/sec throughput. However, if I connect my Belkin CompactFlash reader instead, that's very, very slow indeed. The greatest data rate I see is about 4KB/sec, although no errors are

Hi folks, I'm having problems now with the Win32 syslinux in the 2.0.6 release when using it on various CompactFlash drives. These drives end up going into a Geode-based PC board with a built in CF slot. Now, before I run SYSLINUX.EXE on them, they are 32MB with a Toshiba part number showing up when the PC boots. They show up on as the Secondary Master. After I run SYSLINUX.EXE, they stay

SYSLINUX 2.10 2004-06-18 That is all I get when I boot my system off a CompactFlash card in an IDE adapter, no matter how long I wait. What debugging steps are recommended? I'm willing to get down and dirty with assembler, and I'd appreciate suggestions of what to suspect and where to start. Details: This is a Crucial 128MB CompactFlash card in a non-hot-swap CF-IDE adapter which

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

Hi folks, I hit the syslinux homepage for the first time in a while. The stuff just works, so there's no reason to come to the website, eh? :) Anyway, the first line is "The SYSLINUX Project covers lightweight bootloaders for floppy media (SYSLINUX)", and I think that this needs to be expanded a bit. I use SYSLINUX on CompactFlash, and it works great because together with

Hello, I have a question about ext3 write activity. I am considering using an ext3 fs on a CompactFlash disk for my data-logging application (power can disapear anytime). The quantity & frequency of the data logged itself is not a problem at all considering flash wear. But I'm a bit worried about the kernel/ext3 doing regular writes by itself even when there are no userspace writes.
