I've installed Syslinux on a somewhat old system. The motherboard is based on an Intel 440GX chipset (specifically it's the Supermicro P6DGE if that means anything.) The harddrive has been split up into partitions of one hidden FAT16 (marked as active) to which syslinux is installed (hda1), one normal FAT32 which has windows and dos (hda2.) It also has an extended partition containing

Thanks Nazo, for that amazing long answer. The problem is, though, that you're talking to an _XP user_, so I can't: "Just use dd with if=/dev/sda" because that's Dutch to me. I even had trouble understanding what a "distro" was, till I looked it up. And I can't run "mkdiskimage", because it doesn't run under XP. Also, according to

I'm home at last. I did a mixture of things. I downloaded DOS6.22 floppy from putergeeks.com, extracted my old syslinux 1.75 (dos version) into the same boot floppy and made my CF /dev/hda1 as suggested by Luis (Hail O King - my saviour). Lo and behold it went thro' like a hot knife thro' butter. syslinux did not complain at all. I did an xcopy /s of my D: (hard disk) to my C:(CF) and

Hi, I had the same problem last week. I got it work when I used an old syslinux (the one from Daschtein Utils). I think that the problem is with newest version of syslinux, but could get confirmation from the syslinux group. Nick "S Mohan" wrote: > > I'm home at last. I did a mixture of things.

I decided to install Win2K on my "retrogaming/htpc" system to take advantage of the dual processors in the thing when I'm multitasking a lot, but, it's kind of annoying having to use first one bootloader to chainload my Windows 98 partition, then, via NTLDR, selection Windows 2000 to get to Win2k. I tried using the recovery console to try to force it to write a boot sector to

Please test this prerelease if you have a system on which 2.13 works but 3.0x doesn't. It's based on some of the stuff I have iterated back and forth with Nazo. Huge thanks to Nazo for trying a gajillion experiments and being very prompt returning results. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

dear listers, I use gam (from mgcv) for evaluation of shape and strength of relationships between a response variable and several predictors. How can I interpret the 'F' values viven in the GAM summary? Is it appropriate to treat them in a similar manner as the T-statistics in a linear model, i.e. larger values mean that this variable has a stronger impact than a variable with smaller F?

Hi! As for this matter, it got solved in 2.11, as I tested it yesterday. Sorry about the delay, but vacation got in the way ;) Cheers!

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to

Latest syslinux 2.00 stable version from freshmeat. Are the programs that will just copy boot sectors or create boot sectors for /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 etc.. that I can simply copy with a dd command?

Yes, it is in the docs... All i need to do is load the memdisk image with the 'keeppxe' option. so, the default file should look like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------- default linux label linux kernel memdisk append initrd=client.ima keeppxe -------------------------------------------------------------------- That is all!

Lately I've been finding that most versions of Syslinux no longer work in the various linux distros I use them in (primarily Mandriva 2006 and Finnix.) When I try to run binaries such as the extlinux it produces the error "bash: ./extlinux/extlinux: cannot execute binary file" which it says for each of the major binaries. As nearly as I can tell, everything but the scripts in fact.

I've finally gotten around to playing with the advanced menu, though the complex example is definitely still beyond me. I'm trying to figure out a few basics from it, such as the tab key for line editing (don't know what I've done wrong here since it seems like I copied that part right) and the timeout. It looks to me like the only ontimeout implemented so far is an option to not
