similar to: syslinux vs grub

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hi, I would like to request password protection in syslinux. I know that it has come up a few times on the mailing list (google for "site:www.zytor.com syslinux password"), and on http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-May/000421.html you say interesting things about COMBOOT images. So I was wondering if I could bring that feature request to your attention again :) grub has it,

Hi all, I have just been informed that Netboot (http://netboot.sourceforge.net/) can be used to produce PXE boot ROMs. I wonder if anyone has tried running this combination with PXELINUX? This is obviously a really big deal... :) -hpa

Hi, I need help about the stuff in nilo that gets burnt on a rom to make it a pxe bootrom.

Hello, I have to load a syslinux floppy image from grub using memdisk, it works like: grub - memdisk -> linux floppy image. the linux floppy image is using syslinux as linux bootloader. before syslinux 3.02, it works fine. However if syslinux >=3.05 it doesn't works. After vmlinuz and initrd loaded , before boot linux kernel, system hangs. Or, is it possible to run

I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

Hello, i was getting into problems when booting a GRUB bootdisk with memdisk. I get the menu of GRUB, but when i change something to boot (e.g. Redhat installation tool) System freezes after uncompressing kernel. I used either syslinux version of Boot Scriptor and latest standalone version from kernel.org. I hope you are able to give me a clue what is wrong. Thanks in advance. Christian

For reasons I won't get into, I need to use grub (not grub4dos, super grub, or any other variant) as multiboot loader on a USB thumb drive, but I also need some of the partitions to contain bootable content from syslinux-based ISOs. All of these syslinux partitions must be logical rather than primary partitions and they will not be the first partition on the drive. Porting the syslinux

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Inspired from a similar patch posted on grub-devel for Grub2 I immersed myself into the code of Grub Legacy and came up with this absurdedly simple patch to allow syslinux or other bootloaders residing in logical partition to be chainloaded from GRUB Legacy (0.9x).
