similar to: PXE/RIP-PXE

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, 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

These are some boot/rescue systems with ext3 support. The RIP boot/rescue system. This is a boot/rescue system, it comes in three versions. There's a bootable cd version that comes with kernel 2.4.6 and has IDE and SCSI support. rip-39.iso.bin 2528kb They can all be found here: http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/index.html There's more info at the above site.

When I exit from HDT and return to the syslinux menu there's no cursor, but the keyboard still works. -- Kent Robotti <kent.robotti at gmail.com>

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

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
