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

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 "

Hi! this is surely a newbie question, so I should know the answer, but I'm fighting with mounting a CD such that filenames are NOT mapped to lowercase (I need to use its on-board tools for accessing files on it while mounted on Centos 6.5, and those tools assume uppercawse, since they assume the entire world runs Windoze.) but despite my best efforts, it keeps being mounted with UC-LC

Hi all, I'm looking for some menu examples for Murali's menu system. Specifically, a headstart on creating a Kickstart menu which covers the most common options with the intention of creating this: label ks.menu kernel vmlinuz.ks.$DIST append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://kickstartserver/$DIST/Custom/ks.cfg.$DIST initrd=initrd.ks.$DIST lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 Hmm...looking

Hi All, Interesting that I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but what happens to text that is typed after the label on the syslinux prompt? My current issue is I'm using PXE to do kickstart installations. I want the ability to do "rescue" boots also with PXE. I've gone looking at the current RH80 disk 1 which has this capability. It has a directory called

Hi, I have tried several different line options, but I cannot seem to get the pxe master password option to work? I have basically tried all combinations of: DEFAULT local PROMPT 0 ALLOWOPTIONS 1 TIMEOUT 500 MENU TITLE sometitle MENU MASTER PASSWD somepassword But just can't seem to get the menu to prompt for a password. version I have is pxe 3.31 Thanks for any help

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

I'm trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree 'CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso' via http on server 'Z', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it's a memory problem); it's required keyboard

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a... Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01 I realize

Please forgive me if this is a known issue or "feature". I didn't notice anything in the list archives or the docs, so I'm assuming this is a bug. I was attempting to create a bootable LFS cd using the instructions found at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/boot-cd_easy.txt. I wasn't following the steps exactly as I had some personal changes I wanted to make. One

We are attempting to setup an automated system to build some Linux systems. We have utilised the PXELINUX bootloader after encountering the PXE 512Kb limit with bootp. We now have another issue which you may have already run into. In the DHCP configuration we specify pxelinux.0 as the bootfile, this works reasonable well, we call the Redhat vmlinuz and initrd.img files within the

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

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

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

Hi: Two scripts (mkbd.fails and mkbd.works) are attached to this message. The only difference between them is in how syslinux.cfg (on a RedHat boot image) is replaced. mkbd.fails: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "mv -f". vmlinuz can't be found. mkbd.works: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "cp". vmlinuz is found. The only difference I can see between these two methods is that

Hi. I'm trying to make a simple boot floppy that would choose between booting with serial console or with keyboard/screen based on user's input. In the ideal world, I would like to have the following behaviour: On the serial console, it would show the welcome screen and say "Press Enter now to boot from serial console" and on the VGA screen (at the same time) it would

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

I had a little trouble installing WINE and, becuase of that, tried several different versions. It turned out the sound trouble was not a WINE issue, but a devfs issue, so I deactivated devfs (devfs=nomount). I am using the latest RPM of Codeweaver's WINE with Mandrake 8.1. I've got Codeweaver's WINE up and running now. When I first tried this, I could type a win .exe file from

Greetings, I wonder whether there are any plans to build udflinux or the likes. I've searched through the mailing list, finding out that should I create a mixed ISO9660/UDF filesystem. Unfortunately, that is not an option if I want to use a significant feature of UDF filesystem, which is writing. Making a mixed ISO9660/UDF, using mkisofs -udf, will (to my best knowledge) not allow me to

Hi, I've been trying to setup a dual livecd. However I am getting an error with parsing the isolinux.cfg.
