similar to: Translating Lilo to syslinux and (isolinux)

I'd like to take advantage of the small, compressed Linux systems such as Knoppix or BeatrIX, but I can't have a CD rom on my system. (A project's marketing requirement.). So I figure I could use something like SYSLINUX or ISOLINUX to do it for me, but there is some magic in the process (the sequence of booting) that eludes me. 1/ mbr (from SYSLINUX) installed on hard drive... and

Hello, I hope that somebody can help me, I am trying to boot Knoppix from the third parition of an ipod nano with out loosing the player capabilities.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem, I get "The cluster size in this system is not supported." I get this when running wine InstMsiA.exe (using the version from microsoft.com). It comes up in a windows message box. I'm running wine from yesterday's cvs. I tried running Rein's test program from this old email and I get the following output: % wine fds 'c:\'

Hi, I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great. This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my

hi. i'm hitting a wall each time i try to format a 3 terabyte partition. i'm able to create the partition using parted but whenever i try to create a 3 terabyte xfs or jfs or ext3 filesystem, the mounted filesystem created is only 1 terabyte. i tried centos x86 and x86_64 4.0 but i always hit a 1 terabyte limit. please help.

Hi, Apologies in advance if this is rather long winded ... I have a Windows 2000 DHCP/FTP/TFTP server, serving up a linux-based diags package using PXELinux. Everything is working fine, just like I'd expect. I also have some WinImage images of DOS floppy disks that I'd also like to serve via PXE. So I made up some simple menus using menu.c32 to serve both the floppy image and the

I have an odd issue. I have one machine that does not display to the monitor when it goes to a linux boot loader. It has the issue with grub and pxelinux. I see the bios but between bios and graphics driver I see a blank screen. Any recommendations on how to fix it? More to it. It is a newer nvidia card, That I need to drive a 4K monitor at 60Hz . If I replace it with an old nvidia card I can

I have an older server I am trying to update to CentOS 4.3 but I can't get to the installer screen because the machine kernel panics when booted from the install CD. The error message I get is: Kernel panic - not syncing: include/linux/smp_lock.h:25 spin_unlock(kernel/sched.c:c035) not locked The boot messages before this point are mainly to do with acpi including: acpi_ps_parse_anl

Western Digital Diagnostic Utilities problems... PROBLEM: Western Digital Diagnostic DOS based utility does not work with the latest ISOLinux (2.11). BACKGROUND: I utilize ISOLinux and memdisk at work to load various DOS diagnostic utilities from various floppy images. Here is my ISOLinux Configuration file (isolinux.cfg) ==========START======== default 0 display bootmsg.txt prompt 1 F1

I want to see things, I'm not sure how quiet would work. Maybe next time I get the box I can re-put in the older working card and try to do a firmware upgrade. This does not seem distro specific. All versions of grub and syslinux do not work in the default configs. I will try using menu.c32 vs vesamenu.c32 as well. To see if it won't display. On Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 4:52 AM, Gene Cumm

Actually your Syslinux config is less relevant than the kernel config file. Indeed Syslinux infers the method to use from the kernel image itself. I assume the .config is public. I will take a look as soon as I can Thomas Le 04/08/2015 14:09, intrigeri via Syslinux a ?crit : > Thomas Letan via Syslinux wrote (04 Aug 2015 09:27:38 GMT) : >> Are you using EFI Handover Protocol? >

Hi there!! I has been modified the syslinux.cfg file according to the rules to add some boot parameters but since this modification, every time I that I highlight the modified entry in the boot menu and hit the TAB button on my keyboard, the entry's boot parameters is displayed twice and when I try to "backspace" them out, the line again get displayed twice and so on. So my

I burned a DVD for CentOS 4.1. I booted from it and everything went fine for the graphical screen installation. I choose separate partitions for my /boot (hde6), / (hde9), and swap (hde12) areas. My /boot partition was ext2 and my / partition was ext3. I installed grub in my /boot partition successfully. I have a Boot Loader, System Commander 8.13 which controls the MBR. The installation then

Is there a method by which one could boot an ISO image from a flash drive with syslinux? -- Dimeneira aka Dime

Hi Andi, Here's a little batch of cleanups: - re-enable VDSO when PARAVIRT is enabled - make the parainstructions symbols match the other altinstructions naming convention - add kernel command-line options to disable altinstructions for smp and pv_ops Oh, and I'm mailing your noreplacement patch back at you, for no particularly good reason.

Has anyone yet tried PXE booting the vmlinuz/initrd.img set from Centos 4.0beta2? I have a pxelinux setup that is booting 3.4 PXE images fine, but the equivalent setup for 4.0beta loads the kernel and then splashes the monitor full of multicolor random characters. Not a good start to an install... Anyone had luck? Any changes for PXE boots known for 4.0? Thanks in advance. -Alan
