Is it possable to boot a diskimage with syslinux? So often I run into bios upgrade disks images or can easily create a disk image and would like an easy way to just boot these images. I know isolinux does this and I vagely remember using it to make a bootable windows 95 cd back in the day. It worked to. It would be nice if I could just copy the disk image to a usbstick and use syslinux to boot

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 tried dd-ing the ISO onto a USB stick, as suggested in <http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7>, but it didn't boot. Did anyone have better luck with this? In any case, I got it working by running livecd-iso-to-disk on a Fedora-20 laptop. I've found before that this is the best program around for the purpose. But I've 2 queries about this: 1. Why isn't this

The configuration I'm trying to use is a SAMBA PDC with a SAMBA Member Server, using tdbsam. Binaries for SuSE 9.3 from the samba web page, version 3.0.14a-4.1.i586.rpm. This is SuSE 9.3 Pro with patches and kernel up-to-date thru 20050708. I need to use Samba 3.0.14a because in production the Samba PDC will have to work with several Samba member servers and 3 Windows 2003 member servers.

I have an ATA186, a tech just told me to set UID0 and UID1 to the same username, and PASS0 and PASS1 to the same password. In my mind, this would seem to have the unit registering twice under the same account, which Asterisk wouldn't support. When a call comes in, it should go to the last line to register. So to me, this means the call could sometimes come in on Line 1 and sometimes on Line

Is there a tool that can tell me the real dos name to long dos name mappings of a file in linux? in windows? I can come close with using md5 sums but if there are copies of files then deleting the wrong one would be a problem area. In linux I normally have the boot partition mounted as vfat so that the default kernel installer can write files like normal. Is there an easy way to know the dos

Quick summary: Syslinux stops at "Boot failed". Which, from a quick look at the raw disk image, seems to indicate that the boot sector loads but it fails to load the .sys loader. The details: I've been trying to load Linux (or etherboot...or anything at all that is not NT embedded) into a set of Compaq Evo T20 48/64 for a while now. What I finally managed to do is using the

Hello! I have the following setup: 1) a connection to my ISP with a public IP (1.2.3.4) with the gateway 1.2.3.1 2) an allocated IP class with 64 addresses (5.6.7.192/26) 3) two LANs connected through two NICs: a) 192.168.0.0/24 on eth1 (192.168.0.1) b) 10.0.0.0/24 on eth2 (10.0.0.1) The IPs from the allocated class are all assigned to eth0. The networks are SNATed to the external IP and

In Suse 9.2, it was easy to softlink to a drive from /home/username/.wine/dosdevices because the mount point for the drive was always the same. That is, /media/dvdrecorder was always where the disc would get mounted. NOW, with Suse 9.3, the mount point is /media/DISC_NAME. Since each disk has a different name, there is never a consistent mount point. So, I can't make Wine's

Hi List, i'd like to share with you what happened yesterday. Kernel 2.6.36.1 ocfs2-tools 1.6.3 (latest). I had an old OCFS2 partition created with a 2.6.32 kernel and ocfs2 tools 1.4.5. I unmounted all partitions on all nodes in order to enable discontig-bg. I then used tunefs to add discontig-bg, inline-data and indexed-dirs. During indexed-dirs tunefs segfaulted and since then, fsck

Hello Guys, I am trying to make Asterisk do dial-out calls. It doesn't even do test calls. It never calls. I tested everything and i am clueless. However i can call Asterisk and it picks up the phone and executes the dial-plan. However, my dial-plan is supposed to do outbound calls. Zap is configured correctly. I am using a TDM400 card from Digium with 4 Fxo ports and i have

Hello, I have to update the BIOS of several hundreds of geographically distributed PCs. Since we are using PXELINUX for years to install the OS (Linux) on this PCs PXELINUX is my first choice for doing this job. The vendor of this PCs provides a bootable ISO image for the update. Because of the size of the firmware it is not possible to use a FD image (not even 2.88MB). But in the documentation
