Yes, really. I've got hundreds of the damn things here at home, and I want to go through them and get rid of them all. But... to do that I want to read them. I have both a 5.25" and a 3.5" drive, both are plugged in, but in the BIOS, all I see is the 3.5". Fine, I figure I'll take care of those. Nope. I see /dev/fd0 once I've booted up, but neither konqueror nor

I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

Having looked at some of the discussions circulating before, I tried the recipe that Bruce Bryne suggested to make a memory stick to be a RedHat EL bootable file system for RedHat installation, but then hit a "missing operating system" problem. Below are the steps I took: a. mkdosfs /dev/sdc1 b. mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/stick c. cp rhas3u2/isolinux/* /mnt/stick where rhas3u2 is the

Running "syslinux -s /dev/dsb" during installation of Slackware64-14.1 (to make a bootable USB stick) fails like this: Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument Cannot initialize 'S:' Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys But running the same command in the installed system succeeds. In both cases we are using syslinux-4.0.6 (same syslinux

Putting on my asbestos flame suit ;) All of my windows programs are on another pc and are only available over the network via smb (samba). The "C" drive is mounted in fstab like this: //p500/c /p500-c smbfs guest,rw Can the wine.config file be modified to point to the appropriate windows directories on the other system? I have tried several things, none of which have worked. Any

I posted a similar email recently regarding this. One thing has changed, however; I have upgraded my kernel to 2.2.6 (hence I'm now using the samba version of smbmount rather than the smbfs version). I get the error "no such device" when trying to mount a network drive. My command line is: smbmount "\\\\susangra\\c-hd" -c 'mount /mnt' the console text which

Hi there, I installed my mandrake linux 8.1 with reiserfs. I would like to use wine without my windows partition. Now I see the following text in the wine man-page: --- format: Filesystem=<fstype> default: "win95" Used to specify the type of the file system Wine should emulate on a given directory structure/underlying file system. Supported types are "msdos" (or

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required

If you have any of the devices listed below, please test with a recent -stable or -current. They will stop working in 4.9 and 5.2 although old behavior can _temporarily_ be enabled by adding "options DA_OLD_QUIRKS" to your kernel config. If I don't hear from anyone, they'll be going away permanently after the releases. -Nate #ifdef DA_OLD_QUIRKS /* Below a list of

Hi all, This surely has nothing to do with syslinux, but since many people here ar eusing USB sticks as booting devices (using syslinux) this is a good place to ask, I think. I have an Apacer 1GB USB stick that was happily booting PCs using syslinux. But now, after some tests, it does not anymore. It does not even produce some kind of message from syslinux when booting. Nothing. The

Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.:

Hello, I want to implement a diskless xen hypervisor. The way I suppose it will work is xen booted over pxe and getting iscsi san storage to store vm images. Is solution like that usable ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

This patch builds a floppy image with contains HDT, so users of GRUB or GRUB4DOS can use HDT too, without installing Syslinux. When you compile Syslinux, this floppy image isn't build automatically. To build it, runthe following from the extracted Syslinux source: $ cd ./com32/hdt $ make hdt.img As suggested by Pierre-Alexandre Meyer, all extra files required for building the floppy

Saw a trick today, wondering if anybody else had done/tried this? Assume you have a 1U rackmount with 4 front-accessed drive bays, and you want all four bays for a 4-disk RAID5 storage. The idea is to use an internal USB adapter and a couple of bigger USB thumb drives to install to, RAID 1 style, freeing up all your external drive bays. At first, I didn't think that a thumb drive would

Sorry about the previous message... Note that the maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS is no longer active, so perhaps it should be updated? I've found a problem with SMBFS and *really* long pathnames. It causes the kernel to OOPS, and sometimes corrupts the kernel stack. I've even had it corrupt the SLAB allocator so bad that no binary could be run :) REPORTING-BUGS format answers, let
