Hi, I am trying to boot a liveCD thats on my hard disc ...is there a way of doing this using lilo ? reason well rather than keep burning to CD then testing I want to be able to make changes then test by booting to liveCD.... Thanks in advance Dave T..

At present the configuration items for initramfs is located in: Device drivers | Block Drivers | xxx This is maybe not the most natural place to have it. So with the following patch it is moved below "General setup", and relevant config items are collected in a file with a new home in usr/. The original reason why I looked into this is the upcoming merge of klibc and I missed a good

Hello all, Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've been googling for two days now and the only thing that I've learned is that bootsplash is a total black art. I'm booting off of a USB stick and I've finally gotten a splash screen to appear before vmlinuz and initrd load, but once they load the splash screen scrolls off the screen. Is there any way to make it behave and

Hello. vesamenu.c32 can currently display a PNG image along the menu. But when the kernel is started, the image is lost. LILO supports bmp-retain option, where the bitmap graphic is retained when control is passed to the loaded kernel image; i.e., the screen is not blanked to alphanumeric mode before starting the kernel. Is it possible for vesamenu.c32 (or syslinux in general) to support

I have a physical SLES11SP2/OES11 system that I''ve converted to a domU. It''s boots ok as an HVM, but when I try to boot as a PV it gets stuck. I have the kernel-xen packages installed and confident the menu.lst is correct. If I look at xm console for the VM I get the output below: Any ideas?

Hi, recent isolinux versions work fine with current linux kernels on current hardware. But on older hardware there isn't a bootsplash visible at all - like if there isn't a CD in the tray. :( Sadly the older isolinux versions don't work with current kernels (giving me an empty /proc/cmdline for example when using kernel 2.6.23), otherwise I'd just use an old isolinux version of

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 figure I'm probably trying to do something stupid, but here goes. I'm trying to boot a hard disk image (with one 420MB partition, lilo in the MBR) containing debian etch (kernel 2.6.18) using memdisk (onto a dell 2950 with 8G of ram). Lilo (22.6.1) fails on memdisk 3.35, 3.36, 3.50, 3.51, and 3.52-pre, with L 99 99 99 99 et al, but works on 2.x, 3.00 and 3.31. However, the kernel

Hello Peter, The attached patch contains three small (although 2 of them are fundamental :) fixes for pxelinux 1. Alignment error when more than one initramfs are loaded using initrd - the alignment of the last disk is discarded in calculations but is ALWAYS present when the loading procedure is called. As a result - the second image (cpio) is not recognized. 2. On some platforms

Sorry to bother you about this but after trashing 8 CD-Rs I'm out if ideas :-). I've not been able to get this working with anything other than the standard Slackware kernels.... I made a copy of the Slackware 'live' reference filesystem CD (8.0), added my own 2.2.16 kernel with crypto, then wrote the CD, as per the instructions. I've checked and double checked all the

Hi there, I am trying to migrate from using syslinux with the gfxboot patch to using vesamenu.c32 which is a much simpler solution for my needs. The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose". By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are

Hi, The attached patch is an update to the latest klibc (I just checked a few bits into CVS) which adds support for initramfs. Since it contains bits that aren't available yet on the main site, I've also put a tarball up which contains only what's in the latest CVS. The initramfs stuff is what I use here to boot one of my machines; it works for me, but probably won't work

I am not certain that this is the right place to post this, but maybe some kind soul can point me in the right direction if not. And I apologize if this is the wrong spot...The reason I posted here is that I recall running across a syslinux changlog that said "..added support for reading .spl..." files. I want to customize the suse boot up splash screens (for a CD install). I have been

I wonder if part of the reasoning behind moving klibc into the Kernel itself and integrating it with kbuild has to do with creating a common base system for the initramfs that is meant to work across all Linux distros? I'm very skeptical that such a thing can be created in a way that would satisfy everyone, and maintained peacefully with no forks. I've been helping Jeff Bailey of

Hi I am trying to have a built in initramfs along with the traditional initrd. So I mount the initrd from the initramfs, but am facing problems in trying to run the 'linuxrc'. Following are the issues: 1. I mount the initrd from the initramfs and exceve 'linuxrc'. It starts executing linuxrc, but gives the following errors and panics: Red hat nash version 3.4.42 starting

Hi, Here's a try at writing an initramfs HOWTO. This is basically a write-up of a number of interesting emails I collected over time. It could probably use an editor, more fact-checking and a bunch of other good things, but it should be better than nothing ;-) Daniel -------------- next part -------------- INITRAMFS HOWTO 0) What are klibc and initramfs? Initramfs is a ramfs into which

From: Paul Emmerich <p.emmerich at first-colo.net> Hi, the new API for initramfs and files in master lacked the ability to build initramfs objects from files loaded via HTTP/TFTP in Lua. The documentation indicated that it should be possible (and I believe I did that in an older version). I implemented a few new functions to handle files/initramfs objects better. Changes: * NEW:

After supermin has finished running, the initramfs files sit around occupying swappable memory but serving no further purpose. This saves a little memory, at the cost of about 1ms of extra boot time. --- init/init.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 48 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/init/init.c b/init/init.c index 733d66e..5ac53e9 100644 ---

Hello Is there a skeleton for an initramfs, like mkinitrd do for an initrd? An archive where all I could need for my initramfs could be present, with a shell script ready to fill in with my work to be done. Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/
