perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager?

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle

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

Im pxebooting target machine with vmlinuz & initrd. Once vmlinuz loads initrd, Im calling "/bin/sh" from linuxrc script so that I get command prompt.

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?

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

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

I have a Lilo.conf file, which I have tried for many hours to convert to Syslinux. I looked around on the web for references on translating some of the components. I want to convert it to Syslinux/Isolinux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. When I tried to convert it I made sure that the kernel and initrd had proper DOS names and such. -Michael =:LILO.CONF:= prompt timeout=10

I would like to develop a system where by I can boot any of the machines on my system - and select from a menu what I would like that particular client to do. For example, maybe load a bootdisk image from a network share, and boot that. Or boot the first partition on the local disk.

What pain. I am ready to switch hosts. I have this app in Dreamhost where I load the static pages just fine. The location of my rails app is /home/username/webaddress.com Under that resides the app/, public/ and so on. Like I said I can see my static pages that I have under public since I have in the Managed host panel the following: Web Directory: /home/username/[ webaddress.com/public

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
