I posted this to the group last year, but the problem was not fixed so I will give it another try. I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the Fedora Core boot disk to my clients for an ftp install. I also have ghost boot disks, bios update disks, and a video bios repair disk all using the 3Com PXE server. The problem is when I try to boot a Linux kernel. With all versions of syslinux since 1.72

I'm not sure if this belongs here or on an etherboot list. I've given up on trying to get a single floppy syslinux with enough stuff to remote mount a file system. I'm trying an etherboot floppy. When I boot the system finds the dhcp server and gets the right file name but then it gives me the message "not a valid image." A quick search of the net didn't help much.

It seems that quite a bit of stuff built up very quickly after the 2.07 release: Changes from 2.07 to 2.08-pre6: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is

Hello list, I need to load windows automatically. I have Argon Technologies CMS (Client Management Systems). http://argontechnology.com I have always had problems with this product because it uses the old MS DOS NET Client 3.0 with a LAN manager stack to copy the files from a Microsoft share. What I need is a Linux boot floppy that will remove partition 1 and re-create it then format as fat

Hi, We have some 100 Servers (includes both Intel and PPC based systems). Is there any way to easly install OS (different flavours of Linux) on these systems ? We do not have control over the DHCP Server settings so is there any way to do this with out touching the DHCP Server ? We have static IPs for all the systems. Regards, Naveen

Hey Murali, While playing with HDT which uses your menu, I found I can't reach more than 24 rows whereas my screen is 25. set_windows_size() relies on getnumrows() to define the maximum number of possible rows. But regarding to getnumrows() code, it sounds to report "// Actually numrows - 1". On my screen which is 80x25, getnumcols x getrowcols reports 80x24. The

I've now been able to test the simple.com in dosemu, worked fine. We provide a CD that has multiple kickstart configurations on it and users are prompted as to what type of server they want to build based upon the isolinux.cfg selections. My goal is to use Murlai's menuing system instead because the large number of configs is taking too much screen real estate. Looking at simple.c

Hi, I'm sure this has been posted before. And I'm just wondering if anyone has ever implemented it. I just thought that this is really a nice feature for Syslinux.

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

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

Hi, The link given in your http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#config page points to the http://www.argontechnology.ca/rbfg/index.shtml site. This site talks only of Win2k and .Net server. There is no mention of GNU/Linux. Is it possible to use rbfg.exe to create a pxelinux bootable stack on a floppy. If so how ? Rom-O-Matic has a pxe loadable ROM image. Is there a way to use this to

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

SYSLINUX is certainly useful. I currently start Debian from their standard boot floppy, which uses SYSLINUX. I found it very easy to edit syslinux.cfg for ide-scsi setup. Surely the future lies with bootable CDs and floppy images specifically designed for them. Maybe there should be a combined SYSLINUX / ISOLINUX package which allows you to specify Floppy Emulation or not. But if you invent a

Since lot of people want this thing, I will try to take a stab at it. For now, I will hard code the menu in the code, and then somebody else can remove that restriction. May be we can add some kind of keyword to the config file which syslinux ignores and the comboot menu does something with it. I have one question about comboot: If I write a DOS program using C (compiled using watcom -3 -mt -osx

Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk destabilizing the 2.07 release for: Changes in 2.08: * Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali

Can someone address the boot once option. Is it to hard for syslinux to write a flag file to file system or the blank space after the mbr? .conf bootonce Lable /boot/flagfile or .conf bootonce Lable1 /boot/flagfileLable1 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 skip the default option if the flag file is 0 size. Write something to the

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been
