Hi: I am having problems with isolinux.cfg I am receiving several error messages. 'Missing parameter in config file' and 'Unknown keyword in config file'. Here is a copy of my Isolinux.cfg maybe sombody can help me figure it out: default ks prompt 1 timeout 60 display custom.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 custom.msg

I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?) SYSLINUX (isolinux) 2.00 ----8<------8<---- SERIAL 0 38400 TIMEOUT

hi, sorry for bothering the list but since I didn't find anything in the documentation or archives I would be grateful for your help. For a customized USB installer (based on redhat anaconda) I wanted to pass an kernel parameter which contains a colon. This leads twice to the error message "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." Quoting the append string using ' or "

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a...

Hello ! Maybe passing argument root=/dev/ram0 or root=/dev/rd/0 would help ?

The following is a pxelinux problem, specifically to do with including config files with the menu include directive and the ifcpu64.c32 com module. I have a working ifcpu64.c32 setup that jumps to the label rescue64 in the case of a 64-bit CPU. The label "rescue64" defines a 64-bit kernel and a 64-bit initrd.img. The setup jumps to a label named "rescue32" in the case of a

Using versions 3.53 and 3.54, I get that message with the following configuration file (which is under 8192 bytes) on a USB stick; it's the configuration file from PCLinuxOS 2007. It was originally named isolinux.cfg; I changed isolinux.* to syslinux* for booting from USB. There is no blank line at the end of the file. It works well with 3.11, but that version doesn't allow me to put all

Hi: Two scripts (mkbd.fails and mkbd.works) are attached to this message. The only difference between them is in how syslinux.cfg (on a RedHat boot image) is replaced. mkbd.fails: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "mv -f". vmlinuz can't be found. mkbd.works: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "cp". vmlinuz is found. The only difference I can see between these two methods is that

Hi. I'm trying to make a simple boot floppy that would choose between booting with serial console or with keyboard/screen based on user's input. In the ideal world, I would like to have the following behaviour: On the serial console, it would show the welcome screen and say "Press Enter now to boot from serial console" and on the VGA screen (at the same time) it would

I had a little trouble installing WINE and, becuase of that, tried several different versions. It turned out the sound trouble was not a WINE issue, but a devfs issue, so I deactivated devfs (devfs=nomount). I am using the latest RPM of Codeweaver's WINE with Mandrake 8.1. I've got Codeweaver's WINE up and running now. When I first tried this, I could type a win .exe file from

Hi, I've been trying to setup a dual livecd. However I am getting an error with parsing the isolinux.cfg. I am using 3.84. the relevant section of the isolinux.cfg is as follows label LiveCD1 kernel vmlinuz1 append livecd=livecd1 initrd=initrd1.gz root=/dev/rd/3 acpi=on splash=silent vga=788 keyb=us fstab=rw,noauto label LiveCD2 kernel vmlinuz2 append livecd=livecd2

Hi. I'm trying to put together a boot cd using isolinux, but I've run into a problem. The system I'm trying to boot with this cd complains that it "Could not find kernel image: linux". This is the isolinux.cfg file that I'm using default linux prompt 1 timeout 600 label linux kernel vmlinuz-2.2.14 append initrd=rootfs_new.img lang=

Hi all, I'm looking for some menu examples for Murali's menu system. Specifically, a headstart on creating a Kickstart menu which covers the most common options with the intention of creating this: label ks.menu kernel vmlinuz.ks.$DIST append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://kickstartserver/$DIST/Custom/ks.cfg.$DIST initrd=initrd.ks.$DIST lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 Hmm...looking

Hi All, Interesting that I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but what happens to text that is typed after the label on the syslinux prompt? My current issue is I'm using PXE to do kickstart installations. I want the ability to do "rescue" boots also with PXE. I've gone looking at the current RH80 disk 1 which has this capability. It has a directory called

Hi , I ve tested the pclinux minime on usb 1Gb and later 8Gb, with fat32 and syslinux boot , works splendid in Ram , and persistant saves on stick.. Now i want to try extlinux-boot with ext2 or 3 on the usb. With ext3 , i get constantly bumped to commandline, where i could type in the vmlinuz and initrd paths , but it cant make the loop-file of minime work..so it gets little panic :* But it wont

I'm trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree 'CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso' via http on server 'Z', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it's a memory problem); it's required keyboard

Hi, I just upgraded syslinux to version 3.0.7 from 2.13, but my pxe client got some warning messages.

Hello all! I try mondo/mindi for some days now but it does not work and I don't know the reason. It is an intel Suse-8.0 Client and I use the Suse-8.0 packages from ftp.mondorescue.org. dhcp and tftp work fine. mondoarchive works, but I don't find any initrd.img for pxe/nfs. All initrd I have found ask for a CDROM and as they cannot find any they ask for a floppy when starting the pxe
