Sure, I don't mind testing it out on there for you, but, where do I find the pre releases to try then? At least we know it's between 2.13 and 3.00. That narrows it a bit I would think. Mind you, if it jumps up a major revision number, I guess that means a lot of changes went in. On 8/2/05, syslinux-request at zytor.com <syslinux-request at zytor.com> wrote: > Send SYSLINUX

I have been working with SYSLINUX/PXELINUX Mostly v.2.x recently v3.0 &v3.1 to remote-boot IBM PC's off of 1.44Floppy Images with great success. I have searched through several distributions and the SYSLINUX package seems to be by far the easiest to work with.. (thanks) My question would be: Is it possible to boot a diskless client PC with Complete hard disk images? or even better hard

Can someone tell me if syslinux will work on a harddisk ? I have a 4mb flash device that plugs into the IDE connector on the motherboard, and i'm trying to get syslinux to work with it, so I can load a Linux kernel and an initrd. I'm not having any luck with it. Then it dawned on me that the boot loader in syslinux might be expecting a floppy drive rather than an atapi hard disk. Any

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

Here's an interesting problem, and the first partial failure I've seen when booting USB keys. I've installed a bootable Knoppix "CD" image to my USB key, and posted a writeup of my installation method here: http://knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25402 Up until now, I've always had one of: 100% success (it fully boots) 100% failure (BIOS fails to recognize the USB

Hi all, I've installed samba on a sun sparc-station with solaris 2.5. But when i'm doing something that's using the network really intense (like mp3-files playing over the network) the feed is not constant. With mp3 files you can that because you have pauses during the playing of the song. Is this a configuration mistake or something ? cu, Patrick

Dear All I have a problem with my Compaq EVO n410c laptop. I want to install Windows (Win98/WinXP) on it. But this laptop don't have any floppy/cdrom to boot from. I have try to use My USB Drive to boot, using syslinux. Here's my step 1. Format the USB Drive using "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" 2. Install syslinux (syslinux -f F:). F is my USB Drive 3.

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

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

Hi all, I want to have a warmboot nonvolatile ramdisk to put and start XP from ram. That means that the ramdisk and its content have to survive a reboot on a "normal computer"! (No battery ...hihi) First I make a try with Microsoft ramdrive.sys and switch /e in config.sys from Dos 6.22 and with qemm386.sys but that doesnt work for me. Qemm (8, 97)does not work together with harddrive

We're using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Linux 2.0.35 box as a fileserver chiefly for software development under VC++. Builds are done from the command line, not the IDE. I'm seeing rather slow build performance under NT4SP3. Build performance is fine under Win95. Build performance is also good when building from Samba 1.9.18p8 running on a Sun UltraSparc. To give some concrete figures, building

Hi folks, I hit the syslinux homepage for the first time in a while. The stuff just works, so there's no reason to come to the website, eh? :) Anyway, the first line is "The SYSLINUX Project covers lightweight bootloaders for floppy media (SYSLINUX)", and I think that this needs to be expanded a bit. I use SYSLINUX on CompactFlash, and it works great because together with

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

I know syslinux supports FAT16 and works very well, but how about FAT32? Does syslinux support FAT32? If so, which version? eg., 3.11 and above Thanks!
