similar to: Loading Xen with PXELinux

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hello Xen-Users, I am running a Debian GNU/Linux Devel-Station (P2/366 MHz, 512MByte) and use currently chroots which give some problems from time to time. I have following configuration: ----8<------------------------------------------------------------------ /dev/sda1 / 7700 GByte # Master System /dev/sda2 swap 256 MByte # Master System /dev/sda3 /var 512 MByte # Master System

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

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

Hello i'm working on a netboot environement with a highly configurable menu system. for some parts i like to use pxelinux for others pxegrub. I can load both seperatly. Now what i want is to have the possibility to switch from une to another. I tried: to load pxelinux from pxegrub: menu.lst: title pxelinux root (nd) kernel (nd)/pxelinux.0 title pxelinux2 root (nd) kernel

If I understand things correctly, a bootable floppy has two key pieces of executable code: the 512-byte boot sector, and the kernel loaded by that boot sector. The kernel can be large, and thus

forgive me.. i have no idea what im asking or if its possible... i have 2 partitions as follows and am using the std windows xp bootloader to boot xp - ntfs (windows xp) - fat16 stupid question is... can i use syslinux, isolinux, memdisk or some combo there of to place a bootable cdrom iso image on the fat16 partition and then have a boot menu with something to the effect of : 1) winxp as

Greetings: [ First, apologies if this has been discussed before. I looked through about the last year's worth of archives, but couldn't find a "Search feature", so I used the visual grep method, which is not foolproof. I also tried to download the full text of the archives to use the real grep, but I got an error loading it... ] I'm working on setting up the Xen virtual

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

I have been succesful in using syslinux to boot from a hard drive, by dd'ing a Linux (LRP) image onto the drive and then running syslinux (i.e. dd if=the_image of=/dev/hda followed by a syslinux /dev/hda), however I'm having problems getting it to work from a partition on the hardrive. I'm trying to use syslinux on a small 100MB FAT16 partition (same commands as before, just

Hi Folks, I've been playing around with SYSLINUX for a little bit; here's what I'm trying to do... My disk will have three partitions: [BOOT: (FAT16 w/ SYSLINUX)] [OS1] [OS2] OS1 and OS2 will both contain an XP Embedded system which is read-only and which will always boot from a hibernate file. What I'd like to be able to do if flip-flop between them at runtime (that is, run

I've recently returned to working on FreeDOS again after quite some time, and read about an unmerged MEMDISK branch that allows to boot DOS-based ISOs. This seemed quite usefull to me as it allows for faster modifications to my code/scripts/disklayout. The general idea was to install Syslinux 3.83 to harddisk, then add the modified Memdisk from that boot-land forum, as well as my ISO. In

In our testing, pxelinux and Dos UNDI is much more stable than pxegrub with ten different nic drivers compiled in. The only thing holding us back on using pxelinux for all of our tftp images is the lack of a menu system. We are very close to buying a proprietary software but, I would much rather use an open source type solution. It should be possible to write some comboot code

I would like to boot FreeDOS ISO image from USB memory stick using syslinux. I have done following: 1) I created a partition to my 2GB memory stick: root at debian64:~# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders, total 3932160 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size

Hi all, A number of people have posted to the Xen lists recently wanting to network-boot Xen on machines whose NICs are not supported by GRUB. I''ve been writing a module for PXELINUX that will allow it to boot Xen directly over the network on PXE-enabled machines, without relying on any hacks (mbootpack, &c.), or needing to write/port any device drivers. I have a version of it

Hi Aaron, i know it is not an interactive menu - but in my 'config' file i call for a textfile to be displayed : DISPLAY menu.txt that contains all my labels. See the first part of my 'config' : label 0 LOCALBOOT 0 label 1 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND initrd=images/w2k/unatt.ima label 2 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND

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
