Hi. I have a Supermicro 5018D-FN4T (Xeon D-1541 based SBC) that I use for virtualization. I?m running Centos 7.3 on it (updated), with the CentOS-QEMU-EV.repo repository as the source for virtualization packages. I run an Ubuntu 16.04-2 guest VM on it, which is ordinary enough. What?s perhaps less ordinary is that I?ve attached a Lexar Media, Inc. ?Lexar Professional Workflow CR1 CFast 2.0 USB

Is there any documentation available about what block size MEMDISK uses to load (big iso/harddisk) image files? Experimenting with cptime.c32 on a Lexar Triton Jumpdrive (64GB, 170MB/s read in Windows, 150MB/s write in Windows) on bootable USB3.0 resulted in the following, depending on specified block size: * 2048 bytes --> 25MB/s * 2MB --> 61MB/s It would be nice to know at which speed

I am trying to use Syslinux as my boot loader for a stripped down version of Knoppix (DSL) on a USB Pen Drive. I followed the instructions verbatim on http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/knoppix-usb.html, but no luck. The system will start to boot to the USB, but gives a Kernel Panic. I will give all information that shows on the screen. After I select Boot from USB (which on my

Hi. I've recently picked up a 256MB compact flash card and CF->IDE adapter. I'm wanting to put a smaller version of knoppix on here. I came across miniknoppix here: http://www.inittab.org and decided to have a play around with that. So far I have opened up the ISO image and copied all the files out. I have put a boot sector onto the CF by putting the CF into the IDER adpater then

First of all, I was able to use the 5.1 LiveCD to create a bootable USB (8G Lexar FireFly) - thanks to all for your assistance. Question - has anyone been able to add NTFS support to an USB install? It would be a nice to have the ability to access NTFS (and Vista for that matter) disks for troubleshooting and general access. Any and all comments will be appreciated. Thanks! Mark

Hi, I'm trying to make a USB-ZIP bootable filesystem on my USBkey, which is 2GB. The problem is that "mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sda 0 64 32" fails due to the large size. The number of sectors is 4005888/(64*32) = 1956, which is more than the maximum 1024. Is there any way around this or is it just not possible to make this USBkey look like a Zip drive? Regards, Ole Jacob

Suddenly my UPS wasn't be detected by my server I tried restore my system I tried modify files without success my UPS isn't detected by my serveur When I enter this command lsusb I have had no more this bus001 device 002 : ID

Recently, I was able to create a workable Centos 4.4 "Live USB" on my 1G Lexar Firefly pendrive using the steps in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html. At the moment, it is doing its job, so I probably won't focus too much more on it. One thing that is annoying, although doesn't cause a problem is that on powerdown and reboot, the cd rom drive ejects - of course, there

I have a 2gig usb drive FAT formatted with 32K cluster I used syslinux 3.06 to create a boot sector so that I could boot Damn Small Linux, INSERT and memtest86. They are all working fine. I have a DOS bootable CD and have been following this guy's instructions... http://fuzzymunchkin.dyndns.org/tdot/usbkeyfob/index.php3 I used a WinXP floppy formatted with the 'make ms-dos bootdisc'

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a solution so I can boot a HyperVisor from USB which I can manage through Foreman and also Manually if needed. ESXi can do so, but I'm looking for an opensource solution. KVM would be best but I wonder if there is a way to create some sort of live environment where only KVM settings are written to the USB disk and not that much logging and so on. Has anyone an

Hi, The bios is not able to boot from usb, but only from floppy. I want to boot an Ubuntu-installation from usb. The iso-file was moved with usb-creator to the usb-stick. I have got a boot-floppy, which starts an DamnSmallLinux usb-stick. But this bootfloppy doesn't start the Ubuntu-usb-stick. Which parameters in syslinux.cfg I must change to start Ubuntu-Linux? There are the following

Hi there, I've read the instructions on using syslinux; in particular, I'm interested in booting off a USB stick. According to doc/usbkey.txt, USB-HDD is the best mode -- but there's no mention of how to get that working. I've tried googling it, but can't seem to find instructions (probably not searching for the right thing) Could someone here point me in the right

Hello! I own an Ipod shuffle (512MB) and I am having trouble booting from it using syslinux 3.10pre8 (I have not tested older versions). I guess the Ipod shuffle works just like an ordinary USB key with a FAT32 partition so I have read http://syslinux.zytor.com/usbkey.php. My BIOS identifies it as a hard disk, so I hope I do not have to modify the geometry. Windows assigns the drive letter

Hey folks! I'm doing some %pre work for the first time in a very long time, and have been at this all day so far and still don't have anything sorted out properly. First I tried just doing some simple bash stuff like this %pre #!/bin/bash # stuff I reduced "stuff" down to basically a simple "select" statement to echo and read input, just for the sake of debugging.

I'm playing with syslinux 3.0x to get PC to boot from USB key... In particular, I'm giving a look at the "ZIP geometry hack" to get some more BIOS boot working with USB... Some question: - if we have a usbkey with a single partition, can we change the geometry without requiring to reformat the partition? Or is a reformat unavoidable? - at the moment we can use the "ZIP

I purchased the cwRsync for windows to help a client backup her USB key after using it. I want the cwRsync_GUI_CLIENT to execute the equivalent of this command: rsync -rave "ssh -p 922" /cygdrive/e user at machine.domain.com:USBKey Can anyone tell me how to do so?? Like most windows users, my client is terrified of the command prompt. Thanks Richard -- LinuxCabal Asociación
