Hello syslinux Mailinglist ;) I'm new to this mailing list, the RIP Readme brought me here. I'm quite new to syslinux/pxelinux and im trying to set up some kind of minimal linux which is bootable via lan.

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

Hi, i did not succeed to get my test computer (Asus A7V8X-X of 2004) to boot from an isohybrid image. I tried http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/RIPLinux-7.0-non-X.iso which is obviously isohybrid enabled. The system has a "Promise Ultra 133 TX2" IDE controller which supercedes the mainboard BIOS. To make the system react on the USB stick i set boot option

I'm using the RIP Linux mini rescue distribution. http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ I have modified v. 7.0 for usage on our 32 node Tyan Tiger MPX Linux cluster with a serial console. Because of a bug with Grub on this motherboard when running headless and using a serial console I use the optional Isolinux version 2.08 also included with RIP Linux to boot from a

I'd like to add a few things to rescue mode. I'm tired of having to use a floppy with hardware drivers when ever I need to go into rescue mode and there are a few other utilities that I'd like to add as well. How would I go about doing this? Any pointers to FAQ's or "How to's"? I've done some searching, but haven't found anything recent enough to be

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

 I have a problem with RExcel which I have now installed on top of R 2.11.0. The problem had been posted in 2009 on the forum by someone else, but no (useful) response had been uploaded.

perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager? Bernd >>> No, since booting from CD-ROM requires that the El Torito part of the BIOS is activated, which it won't be if it didn't boot from CD-ROM in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing:

I could use some help with clarification on the use of the libvirtd daemon with regards to managing remote KVM instances. Right now I have a CentOS 6 KVM server (libvirt-0.8.1), but would like to use some management applications that require higher version (0.8.8). First, is it possible to run the libvirtd daemon from within a VM, or does it require active kvm kernel module? Secondly, could a

I have sought information on this in the past. I have a decTOP that I can install DSL on with no trouble from my USB DVD/CDRW drive. Centos won't. Neither 4.4 or 5.0 The boot starts, the CD is being read. After I respond to language, it stops saying it can't find the CD. If I go the linux askmethod approach, I can 'see' it loading the install image from the CD, it goes

Hi there, I've been using ext3 on RedHat 7.1 for some time and I'm very pleased with the result. Thanks for all the hard work people have put in it! I have however one problem: when the machine boots up it tries to load the mcd and mcdx CD-ROM drivers (AFAIK they are old non-standard CD-ROMs). It does this from rc.sysinit right after loading usb devices. The machine started to do

I am trying to install multiple patches from CDROM. However the eject cd function does not work and if I umount /dev/cdrom it's gone forever unless I re-start the guest.
