hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

Hi, I am trying to load kernel 2.6.6 on a Soekris net4521 from the network using PXE. I built my initrd with mkinitrd. RedHat nash (while running linuxrc) hangs after mounting /proc and says "Creating block devices". I am using the pxelinux.0 from the syslinux-2.10 distribution and the kernel and initrd were built on redhat 9.0. I built my kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM, RAMFS, TMPFS,

I am trying to create a bootable cd from a working LFS 6.1 partition. Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this. This is the error I get: ISOLINUX 3.10 2008-08-24 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hello again, I'm always not able to boot-up my CF-FileSystem. (It works with a 2.4.x Kernel!) See: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-June/006942.html I dont't understand, why the kernel can't mount the root-fs on exit of "linuxrc". Before finising "linuxrc" I can work on it, start a "bash"-shell, do all sorts of linux-cmds on the root-fs...

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer.

I am having a problem with setting up diskless clients under CentOS 5.2. I have everything working under CentOS 4.7.

Egidy, originally at the URL http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/diskless-howto/, which is now defunt (there is a mirror of it at http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/2389/showart_82438.html). What I am

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have done some additional testing, and gotten it a bit close to what I was looking for. I had to modify the cat.c to eliminate the printing of the arguments and file name, and added a Press Enter to return menu line. With the below isolinux.cfg the options do display the files, and pressing enter than returns to the vesamenu. DEFAULT

Hello, you guys have helped me before. I am setting up a multiboot system on my usb stick. At one point, with syslinux, i had the two of the three systems working. However in a sucessful attempt to get the third working, i used that os'es instructions for usb installition, which included syslinux. After which, that system worked, with its syslinux.cfg being located in a non-root folder

Please forgive me if this is a known issue or "feature". I didn't notice anything in the list archives or the docs, so I'm assuming this is a bug. I was attempting to create a bootable LFS cd using the instructions found at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/boot-cd_easy.txt. I wasn't following the steps exactly as I had some personal changes I wanted to make. One

I am currently in process of doing a binary search to find the
