similar to: Minimizing linux

Got to minimize (barely) my filesystem and kernel and fit it into my usb key (256mb) My kernel was compiles with scsi and usb support built-in. My problem now is i can't mount my root filesystem when i tried to boot. kernel somehow takes time before being able to recognize my usb as a valid scsi device thus displaying VFS: Cannot open root device 08:01 this is my lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda

I know this is kinda unrelated to what this forum is all about, but I really have looked around in google. I have created a custom filesystem (for montavista linux) and as far as vi and clear goes, "linux unknown terminal type" is displayed. there is no /etc/termcap or /usr/lib/terminfo but an /usr/share/terminfo/... is found... any ideas on this one?

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)). Since booting off an USB device is not an universal thing I would prefer to have a boot disk with a minimal system - just enough to load most (all?) of the system from the attached USB device. Is this an

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

yup runned it. probably something wrong with my initrd filesystem. can you send me a directory listing of your initrd? and probably a sample linuxrc. if worse comes to worse, i'll probably load my usb and scsi modules in the initrd. i'm probably doing it all wrong. i'm trying to imitate the slackware10usb way of booting up. every driver built in the kernel, patch on the mounting root

Hi folks, I'm the creator and maintainer of a small "embedded" Linux distribution. We're currently developing a VPN solution and using SYSLINUX for booting. And yes, we'll play fair and provide all sources/patches to GPL'ed software when our product gets released :-) Anyway, while creating our product I had the idea of using disk-images to speed up the

Hi folks, I'd like to write a graphical menu for a rescue Linux system I'm currently working on in my spare time. I'm experimenting with VESA for this... but my real questions are: How do I boot a Linux kernel from a COMBoot (.cbt) program ? Supposed I have syslinux.cfg that looks like this: DEFAULT menu LABEL menu KERNEL menu.cbt LABEL linux KERNEL kernel.bzi Do I have to use

Hello, I am new to R and would like to know how to label data points in the matrices of scatterplots made by the pairs() command. To be more specific, I want to assign a number to each data point, instead of the small circumference that appears as a data point. If anyone here knows if its possible to do this with R, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you, Mauricio Esguerra PhD

Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle
