Okay, now, before 3.10 is finalized... what bug reports am I still forgetting? -hpa

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre5 is hereby a bug fix release candidate. If I don't receive any problem reports, I will release it as-is on Tuesday, August 30. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

folks, Im trying to boot to runlevel 4 explicitly, using this stanza: ie with a single 4 at end of APPEND line. LABEL 2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 MENU LABEL ^j. runlevel 4 2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 # 4 MENU DEFAULT KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.42.1:/nfshost/foo

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

Hi, everybody! My pxelinux.0/default file is: LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.16 APPEND initrd=initrd-2.6.16.img root=192.168.4.110:/clients/192.168.4.100/root When mounting I get: switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted tp kill init! Before it I get some messages about: Can't find /dev/console. /clients/192.168.4.100/root/dev was empty. I've copied my

changing i386 COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 1024 attached is a simplistic fix to change kernel's command-line size from 256 to 1024, tomatch capability in syslinux 3.08. It seems to work. Is this all there is to it ? One of the reasons I did this was to figure out what extra options are appearing, and why. b4 extending: (the last bit is truncated) Jun 4 06:31:05 truck kernel: Kernel command

Im trying to get 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 (which includes klibc) working on an nfs-root setup. Its not working, so I started adding printf()s (not printk()s !) 1st thing I notice is arg5 is empty, but arg 6 is real I could imagine this unexpected situation confusing kinit (will check..) Or is that empty arg intentional, so that it marks the beginning of pxelinux addons ? kinit:main: init-arg 0: /init

1. \ at end of lines (in pxelinux.cfg/default, etc) causing/allowing line-wrap ? for those of us who prefer 80 column screens, and 1 item per line. 2. label-specific APPEND adds onto global APPEND ( currently replaces it IIUC ) maybe this needs a separate keyword ADDAPPEND (255 char limit still applies im sure) 3. strip trailing # comments ( I havent verified that it

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

Starting back in RHEL/Cent 5 I found that the only way to make sure your interface enumeration was consistent after install with what you had during install was to create a udev rules file using the mac addresses as the key. It is easy to run a short script in postinstall to create it based on how anaconda has seen them. In order for this to work on Cent 6 you have to set biosdevname=0

Hi, In a corporate environment we are not allowed to use DHCP/PXE for doing network installations. This means we have to look for other solutions. Our solution is to use an ISO image (mounted via a KVM solution) to kick off the network installation. A big problem currently is that the order of the network interfaces is arbitrary (depends on the order of the drivers loaded) and is not

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

the following config-file triggers a couple of odd corner-cases in 3.08-pre5 ; SERIAL 0 19200 CONSOLE 0 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/hda1 IMPLICIT 0 #DEFAULT sk1 #DEFAULT menu.c32 DEFAULT sk1 PROMPT 0 MENU TITLE Simple Boot Menu LABEL sk1 KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.10-sk1 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/nfs

Here is my script for post install if you want to try it. In order for the shuffling to not occur you do need to create the udev rules file somehow. I am not sure how mangled this will be in email but it is worth a try. It should run OK with nothing else. I have a better version in the works but the enhancements are mainly useful for Fedora 19-21. I did forget to say I also block

This should be easy to answer (I hope).? We routinely kickstart boxes to use for managing our customers RADIUS/DHCP configurations (along with other things).? We've had a C7 kickstart in place since I built one in May and are finally starting to roll it out for new installations.? But, I'm curious as to what ksdevice= actually does. With the C6 we routinely used ksdevice=eth0 since we

Define out of order in this case just so I know for sure what you mean. What my solution does, or at least does reliably in my case, is make sure the interfaces are in the same order once installed as the install kernel saw them. It won't re-order them to be sequential based on bus, mac or driver. I am working on that but it will also include naming the devices based on the module

folks, Im finding that using a config like this: SERIAL 0 19200 #IPAPPEND 2 PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 IMPLICIT 0 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/nfs nfsaddrs=10.10.10.100:10.10.10.2:10.10.10.2:255.255.255.0:soekris:eth0 nfsroot=10.10.10.2:/nfshost/truck panic=15 LABEL deb268 KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 initrd=initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 panic=10 LABEL deb268-ram KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386

Hi I am running a pxe diskless node in f13 and I have some proposals to make ovirt-early working in this version. nash is no more available (nash/mkinitrd is replaced by dracut), so this following command fails : "echo "network --device $DEVICE --bootproto dhcp" | nash" it makes the network configuration incomplete. I replace the linuxrc command by dhclient and it's
