Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Im pxebooting target machine with vmlinuz & initrd. Once vmlinuz loads initrd, Im calling "/bin/sh" from linuxrc script so that I get command prompt. But my machine is not connected to network. # ping 192.168.25.2 connect: network is unreachable #ifconfig -a can not open /proc/net/dev : No such file or directory my /proc is empty. Please advice how to customize initrd image to

hi I'm new to this, and already havin some trouble :( I tried to make my usb pen drive bootable with sysliux, but I got this message: syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem But I already formatted the usb pen drive int FAT16 fs with cfdisk AND with qtparted (in both cases I got the same message). Anyone that could help me about this?

I'm considering the suggestion which was raised before about turning the debugging messages on by default in isolinux, or specifically, not building the non-debugging-messages version in the standard distribution. What do people think (especially distro maintainers?) -hpa

I would like to have two compressed ext2 filesystems on my CF card, one for the root fs and the other smaller one to be mounted at /opt/XXX where I can compress what is in ram after modification and write it back to disk at regular intervals of time. can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)). Since booting off an USB device is not an universal thing I would prefer to have a boot disk with a minimal system - just enough to load most (all?) of the system from the attached USB device. Is this an

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

Greetings, As a Google Summer of Code student for the SYSLINUX project, I had the chance to learn many interesting things from hpa regarding the internals of SYSLINUX. So besides my main task of implementing ELF modules loading & linking, I decided to put down in the wiki all the information I found concerning SYSLINUX development. In this regard, I have created a special category on the

Hi folks, I'm the creator and maintainer of a small "embedded" Linux distribution. We're currently developing a VPN solution and using SYSLINUX for booting. And yes, we'll play fair and provide all sources/patches to GPL'ed software when our product gets released :-) Anyway, while creating our product I had the idea of using disk-images to speed up the

Hi folks, I'd like to write a graphical menu for a rescue Linux system I'm currently working on in my spare time. I'm experimenting with VESA for this... but my real questions are: How do I boot a Linux kernel from a COMBoot (.cbt) program ? Supposed I have syslinux.cfg that looks like this: DEFAULT menu LABEL menu KERNEL menu.cbt LABEL linux KERNEL kernel.bzi Do I have to use
