Hi, I've a usb-key that boot regularly on a PC using syslinux 2.09; well, this PC (a thin-client) at the moment is the only PC that can boot from USB in my office... and it usually booted oretty well, without any hacks... After changed to syslinux 3.07, it stopped booting, showing a simple "BOOT ERROR" message, nothing more... Reverting to syslinux 2.09, it restarted to work...

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

Hi, I've seen that syslinux does include also a MBR record. But how can I install it on a HD under Windows? And how can I backup the previous MBR? Does syslinux help us on this task also? bye! -- Paolo Salvan _______________________________ X v i s i o n Via Vigonovese 123A 35127 - Padova - Italy +39 049 8709427 tel +39 049 8709426 fax www.xvision.it

Hi all! ...As I'm the author of http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=190646 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408 (for Steven: these two links are for the SAME file...) ...I'd like to say some comments, to let you understand what the peculiarities of my approch are... My approach is more minimalistic: etherboot have already the capabilities to

Hi all, I've just released a new version of my universal network boot package, built from the just-released Etherboot 5.4.0 Features: - It now supports both pxelinux (and others PXE second stage loaders) and etherboot ".nbi" images. - Available in the following formats: - floppy image - CD ".iso" image - kernel-like image (usable with any kernel loader) for

Hi I have searched the site, list archives, google etc and have not been able to find an appropriate answer so I am asking it here. Apologies if this has been answered already. I have a kiosk-style pc which I wish to remote boot to keep it quiet. This way I don't need a hard disk at all, keeping it truly silent as it has a passive cpu cooler. Unfortunately, it has no upgrade options. I

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

Hi, Is it possible to create a boot floppy that I can use to start iso's that use say syslinux ? Dave T.

hi! I?m working on a projekt ( unattended.sourceforge.net ) This is using a linuxboot.iso My problem is the following: I opened up the iso with winiso, extrcat the isolinux.cfg, edited it with vi for windows as follows: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append

I decided the FAT directory-parsing bug was about as serious as it gets, so I decided to push out a new release. However, I decided I feel comfortable enough with the new features (or at least, that they wouldn't break anything else, knock on wood) that I did the patch off the 3.10 development tree and called it 3.05. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and

Hello syslinux mailing list, I've been working on a kind of system administration tool ( http://twyna.sourceforge.net/) with a colleague of mine for our Computer Science Bachelor degree internship. I hope I'm saying that right :) We use gPXELinux to boot over a web service and it's all working marvellously, except for the localboot bug. Until now we've used chain.c32 to solve

Hello, I got in a situation where pxelinux 3.7 (or 3.6) reboots constantly after loading the configuration file and displaying the 'display' option file, but never showing 'boot:' prompt. config file is following: # PXE SYSLINUX config file - look at # http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php for syntax # # ---------- This is gate configure file ------- timeout 20 prompt 1 display

Hello! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

Hi, I'm trying to get the LOCALBOOT option to work with syslinux. I have a bootable USB that boots using syslinux and when ever I select the localboot label it says that it could not find the kernel image. This is my syslinux set up LABEL start localboot 0x80 and when I type "start" at the boot prompt this is what I get back "Could not find kernel image: start" Is

I have added instructions to memdisk.doc for how to disable MEMDISK. However, it's unlikely that this will work if you're running under DOS, since DOS will be very unhappy about drives changing underneath it. Anyway, until the next (pre)release comes out, here are the instructions: --- memdisk.doc 27 Apr 2004 06:49:36 -0000 1.10 +++ memdisk.doc 6 Jul 2004 01:29:03 -0000 @@ -122,5

Hi, [I sent this mail again because my previous mail was rejected by ML for some reason] This topic is originally from etherboot ML. When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). pxelinux returns to PXE with localboot return code but etherboot doesn't check it. I was trying to change
