Hi! If you are trying to syslinux floppies or CompactFlash cards from within Windows in a command prompt, here is a hint: run 'syslinux.EXE drive_letter:' instead of 'syslinux drive_letter:' I banged my head yesterday with it... ;) p.s. yes this also works with an USB adaptor Luis Correia PGP Fingerprint: BC44 D7DA 5A17 F92A CA21 9ABE DFF0 3540 2322 21F6 Key Server:

Hi! i'm kinda investigating the possibility of using COM32 to manage an in-house installation method. For this to work, we need to have network access (HTTP preferred) from within COM32 itself. That or any kind of query/response type of network access. This is an example of what we could use: GET /somewhere/blah.asp?MACHINE=THIS and parse the response from the server. We're completely

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

This version cleans up the Ethersel (PCI config probing) changes I have been iterating with Alex Heinz. It's not the same code (so please test, especially Alex), but it should work the same. As before, if you have a machine for which 2.13 worked and 3.0x hasn't worked, please test this version too. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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. I found the http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ project, and what I read in the readme it will fit my needs. Basic infos: Host System running gentoo,

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre9. Please test it out, especially everyone who has been working with me on various systems trying to get them to work, or have had recent breakage. -hpa

Greetings, I've been a user and fan of SYSLINUX for a couple of years now. I use PXELINUX for a PXE server. I've only been able to boot linux kernel/initrd images and dos bootdisks, however now I'm wanting to create a boot image for the 'Rescue Is Possible' (RIP) linux recovery disk - http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ Previous versions came with a

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

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

Hi, I need a little information from you all. Kindly update me about the file systems that are supported by SYSLINUX for ramdisk image... Thanks in advance and regards, Pankaj Agarwal

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

Hai , I am Prasanth .Newly subscribed to mailing list.I am in search for a boot loader which could boot linux form Usb flash memory. i am in process of building a new USB linux distribution . Can anybody give help. Things I need to know. Could syslinux could recognize a usb flash drive and filesystem inside that ? If yes is how ? Thanks in advance, Prasanth Kurian

Howdy, I know that syslinux doesn't currently support this, but does anyone here know how I might go about getting some sort of boot process together that would have a single firmware image as opposed to seperate files for initrd, kernel, and root fs? Thanks.

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

Hi folks, I'm trying to make a CompactFlash bootable with SYSLINUX. The hard part is that I'm trying to run SYSLINUX on Windows 2000 and am attempting to write to the compactflash that's plugged in via a USB reader/writer. Its not working -- Windows complains about the 16-bit subsystem wanting direct access to the drive. So then is the problem SYSLINUX fighting with Windows or
