similar to: Re: Problem compiling syslinux-3.01

Hello all, apologies if my question has an obvious answer or it's too naive (I sent this directly to Peter with the intent of not chocking the list with possibly ridicolous questions...). I just tried to build both syslinux-3.00 and 3.01, with the same bad result. Out of the box compilation with: make depend make installer fails with: ... gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.

I haven't seen this problem mentioned in the syslinux archive yet so here goes: >From the last few lines of the compile log: make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.02-pre2/unix' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.02-pre2/extlinux' gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Os -I. -I.. -I../libfat -c -o

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

I have pushed out a 3.02-pre1 release of SYSLINUX, which has the BLKGETSIZE64 patch, plus a few other things: Changes in 3.02 (so far): * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case

I gave extlinux a whirl, 1. installed debian onto a usb hard drive from laptop (onto /dev/sda1) did *not* install grub or lilo. 2. set up extlinux on /dev/sda # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/t1 [root at harpo syslinux-3.00]# cd /mnt/t1/ [root at harpo t1]# ls boot/ config-2.6.8-1-386 initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 System.map-2.6.8-1-386 vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 [root at harpo t1]# mkdir boot/extlinux [root

Hi all, I have a problem with newly created users beeing not able to login at our Windows clients. We have debian linux with Samba 3.01 running as PDC and fileserver. I create the linux users first with useradd and then the samba users with smbpasswd. There are existing machine accounts for all the workstations and users that exist already for quite some time can login at the workstations. But

Hi: I've been seeing intermittent build failures with the extlinux target, and I believe I've tracked it down to a VPATH issue. See this make -d log: Finished prerequisites of target file `extlinux'. Prerequisite `extlinux.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite `setadv.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite

Hi I understand you (mostly). 0) How do i "install the MBR code as well and to activate your partition." 1) "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" -->> successfully completed. 2) "mkdir /mnt/extlinux" -->> successfully completed. 3) "extlinux --install /mnt/extlinux" -->> does not work. Funny, but it it seems that there is no such thing as

So I have two Dell power-edge machines running latest Ubuntu (13.04) with latest version of R (3.01). I installed revolution-mkl on one machine (T-410) and it works fine. On the second machine (T-620), it says the latest version of revolution-mkl is installed, but I'm getting no multi-processor functioning (R-benchmark-25.R) runs on a single processor and takes same amount of time

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

Hello everybody, I'm currently working to get bochs to support block devices (eg. /dev/hda) as harddisks. I downloaded the current release http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochs-1.4.tar.gz and found that size detection doesn't work. Here's a patch to get the detection working. But I got another problem: the bios won't boot if there are more than 15 heads! Is there

Hi all : my /dev/sda2 is ext3 format filesystem, the os moblin is installed in /dev/sda2 which is root partition, the bootloader is grub, now i want to change the bootloader to extlinux, but i came across some trouble, so i did some steps as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-extlinux*.rpm 2. extlinux -i /boot/extlinux 3. i edit extlinux.conf , and put it in /boot/extlinux/, there is

Hello, Is it possible to install extlinux into a disk image, without being root ? It seems like extlinux --install absolutely requires the specific block device in which extlinux should be installed to be mounted. This prevents from doing an extlinux installation as non-root, which is annoying for build systems such as Buildroot [1] that build a complete Linux system from source, without being

Hi all: my filesystem is btrfs. /boot and / is on the same partition(/dev/sda2, format btrfs). i install syslinux as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-extlinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-tftpboot-4.00-1.i386.rpm 2. extlinux-i /boot/extlinux.
