hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

Having fought my PXE config and eventually getting it to work (had to comment out the group { } statments ? I now come across another issue I cannot resolve and would appreciate some help. in my /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file I have cause to use the APPEND statement to pass options to the kernel being used. Unfortunately this line has now become longer than 255 characters and appears to be

Hi, I 'am trying to launch linux kernel 2.6.7 with initramfs. My pxelinux.cfg/default file looks as follows: default a1 prompt 1 timeout 600 label a1 kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 append initrd=initramfs_data.cpio.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc Kernel image vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 and initramfs_data.cpio.gz was loaded succesfully by pxelinux. Kernel says: checking if image is initramfs... it is but

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

Hi! I write this config line: kernel /boot/i386/vmlinuz ro ramdisk=32768 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc but when I try to boot I got this mesasge: Could not find kernel image: /boot/i.386/ Same symptomes are with slash and backslash too. I think, the parses don't understand the directory separator characters and count as the part of filename. ps Sorry for my english -- Gabor HALASZ

I am trying to create a bootable cd from a working LFS 6.1 partition. Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this. This is the error I get: ISOLINUX 3.10 2008-08-24 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

Looking at the FAQ for SysLinux there is an option for an initrd file (initrd=filename), this does not seem to work with pxelinux (or it is just that I am doing something wrong...). here is my config file: prompt 1 #serial 0 115200 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.4.18-ssi #read-write #root=/dev/ram0 append init=/linuxrc console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 initrd initrd-2.4.18-ssi.img label local

Hello again, I'm always not able to boot-up my CF-FileSystem. (It works with a 2.4.x Kernel!) See: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-June/006942.html I dont't understand, why the kernel can't mount the root-fs on exit of "linuxrc". Before finising "linuxrc" I can work on it, start a "bash"-shell, do all sorts of linux-cmds on the root-fs...

I have tried to get this working SO many times, everywhere I look on the web tells me i have this correct.

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

Hello, Sorry to sound like a bad record, but I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting "Bad gzip magic numbers" errors when ISOlinux is trying to inflate the kernel. Right now I'm clueless as to what's wrong. I've tried various kernels compiled on a few different platforms. Has anyone ever seen this before? ANyone know where a better forum to ask this question

Greetings: I'm hoping PXE linux can help me with my problem... I'm trying to setup a PXE based install server under Linux that can host Linux (SLES9, Slackware) and Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2K3) Install images. I would ideally like to be able to have a PXE compliant host boot, and prompt me to pick an image to boot. Has anyone ever done this before?.. I have ISO images stored on the
