I am running Xen 3.0.1 with Gentoo for Dom0 and when I create a DomU with Debian, the kernel or system does not seem to recognize the volume I have created for swap on the DomU and will not mount it during boot or after. here is the disk section of the xen config for the DomU: disk = [ ''phy:xen-disks/disk-root,hda1,w'',''phy:xen-disks/disk-swap,hda2,w'' ]

Hi, I'm new the syslinux and found some bug. For example, when I install a boot file system into /mnt/boot during usb booted system, the extlinux reports the following error. /usr/bin/extlinux -i /mnt/boot /mnt/boot is device proc /usr/bin/extlinux: cannot open device proc But /mnt/boot is mounted on /dev/sda1 and ext3 file system. I read the source code and found the following code in

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD.

Hi! Can extlinux boot Linux kernel from the second drive? I want to leave Windows XP on the first IDE drive and put Linux to the first partition (ext2/ext3) on the second IDE drive. I am allowed to change MBR on the first drive. Will the following configuration work? /dev/hda1 - Windows /dev/hdb1 - Linux root (/, /boot, ...) /dev/hda - extlinux in MBR /boot/vmlinuz extlinux /boot

Good morning, I try to use the last release of ext3 patch with a 2.4.10 linux kernel. I have two troubles : - when the kernel is booting, I receive : NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

Hi, I want use extlinux 3.07 to boot Thinstation from hard disk. o I have kernel, whos name is vmlinuz, and init RAM disk (initrd). My hard disk is...

OK, been perusing the archives and Google, but can't find what I want. I'm building up a 512 MB compact flash using the CLFS directions to build the filesystem. That works great, but I would like to use extlinux to make the cflash bootable on my little SBC. However, to date, no dice. Attached is my extlinux.conf file and the steps I have used to make this work. Initially I tried to

Hi, I've seen you commited a lot of quota work tonight. I'm still unable to get the filesystem quota working, and I wonder if it's just me that is stupid, or if theres a bug somewhere. I enable quota and imap_quota plugins, I set fs in my ldap-base for quota, and logons. I then get this: dovecot: imap(ingvild): fs quota add storage dir = /home/ingvild/Maildir dovecot: imap(ingvild):

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having problems similar to what many people are facing on this list. I have done everything as the emails suggest. I am using SuSE 7.3 with the the 2.4.10 kernel and ext3 compiled as a module. Because it is 2.4.10 kernel, I created all my journals from a rescue disk and everything seems to be working right for the non-root filesystems. My fstab has all my

Hello list, in a previous post I mentioned I had managed to make USB-Stick with 2048 byte sectors bootable. In fact I wiped out my Linux partitions bootrecord. This was with an old version of extlinux as still distributed by openSuSE. Interestingly enough the current version syslinux-3.61-pre2, spares my hard disk, but still seems to live under the impression it is the USB stick. The setup is

I need help to get extlinux to work. I am tiring to boot /dev/hda1 with a ext2 file system. I am using extlinux 3.08 and installed it in the /boot directory with "/sbin/extlinux /boot" and set up the mbr with "cat mbr.bin > /dev/hda". The installer reported "/boot device is /dev/hda1". On booting extlinux.sys runs and displays "EXTLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19"

Hi I just tried to implement gpt extlinux booting in my archboot project. extlinux installs fine but i'm not able to boot the hd afterwards. Setting partition to boot on in parted doesn't seem to have an effect in GPT mode. Is there any way to get it booting, i haven't found any docu about it.

Is this a known problem? I've seen this problem both under 2.0.6 and 2.0.7, on my Debian Linux system (kernel 2.2.14): A Win95 share that I mounted under smbfs will show up as mounted in df, and even contain the correct Used/Available info. If I do an 'ls' on the mountpoint, I see no files. If I 'umount' the share, I get the 'not mounted' error, but then no longer
