similar to: FW: EXTLIUX.SYS hangs

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 am trying to use EXTLINUX 3.08 to boot a Soekris net4801 from a CompaqFlash card. BIOS reports the CF card as the first master harddisk. During boot/load the loader hangs after this output: EXTLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19 PXELINUX and LILO works fine on the same setup It this a general problem with Soekris/net4801 and EXTLINUX? Regards Johan Linn?r

Hi, I previously had extlinux 3.07 booting off a VMWare SCSI disk fine. After upgrading to 3.08, the system seem to hang after the EXTLINUX welcome/copyright message, even before the boot: prompt appears. Verified that downgrading back to 3.07 is fine, re-upgrading to 3.08 hangs again. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. Regards, .lzs -- Lai Zit Seng http://pobox.com/~lzs/

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-- I'm trying to use extlinux to make a bootable disk image, but I've hit a wall. I've got a partitioned hard disk image with one ext2 partition in it. I've mounted the partition through a block loopback device (/dev/loop1 on the host) and chrooted into it in order to run extlinux. Within the chroot environment, /etc/mtab says: /dev/hda1 / ext2 rw 0 0 ...and within the

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. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Hi, I'm unable to utilize extlinux properly. I must be doing something wrong: Clear entire hdd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/devv/hda bs=1M Creating single active partition...: fdisk /dev/hda Formatting the partition...: mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1 Mount it: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd Install extlinux: extlinux -i /mnt/hd reboot machine and force it to boot from the hdd...

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

I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

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

Due to delayed allocation feature on XFS filesystems, a write is not guaranteed to flushed out to the underlying file system after crash or something else - so we need to make sure that ldlinux.sys is installed correctly in the mounted filesystem.

I'm working with a Soekris net45xx SBC and I'm experiencing problems using any syslinux code (syslinux, pxelinux, extlinux) above version 2.20. I'm interfacing with the Soekris via the serial console port, which is the primary bios console. I've tried different configurations with setting serial in the config file, but no change (though I dont even thing it's getting to reading

Hi, HPA: Thanks for the nice new features, appreciate that. Syslinux is always a nice program. For the new version, 3.10-pre20, I encountered a problem now, my client machine uses sis900 chip, and it still can not run simple menu with pxelinux in this version (3.10-pre20). It's same situation as I encountered when I used syslinux 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09. For 3.10-pre20, I compiled in Fedora

Hello, I am working on a remote upgrade that will utilize a squashfs to boot off the hard drive. I have everything worked out and functioning, except I see installing extlinux as an unecesarry step. The only thing I use the command for is to install the ldlinux.sys file to the /boot/extlinux/ folder. The rest of it is just a file copy. What manual step can I take to avoid the installation of

I have LVM volumes: /dev/disk1/main /dev/disk1/mainboot /dev/disk1/other /dev/disk1/otherboot I can boot main by using syslinux with syslinux.cfg including: LABEL main MENU LABEL Main LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID={UUID} {kernel parameters} INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img (1) I see a lot of places saying syslinux can't boot a kernel on another partition, and that you have

I just saw your post and I would definitely be interested in an 8 MB DOS images to work with pxelinux. I have tried the method described in http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~gmurali/gui/downloads.html but I keep getting

I have 3 older pentium-3 systems (asus cubx, asus cusl2-c) that give a "boot failed" message when trying to boot with extlinux on a flash card (which uses an ide converter, so it looks like a regular ide hard drive to the os & bios). These worked fine when I used syslinux & fat16. If I take out the flash card & ide converter and put it in a newer p4 system, it boots fine.
