Hello, seems like the new default ext2/ext3 256 bytes inode size problem applies to extlinux. HPA, could you confirm it? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491076 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) "Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for

I am trying to boot Linux from a USB memory device containing an ext2 file system using extlinux and having a bit of trouble. Apologies for any naiive questions and assumptions. The USB device is an 8M byte Compact Flash card in a USB reader. I used fdisk to create a single partition across the whole of the device (partition 4 - is that important?) and made it bootable. Fdsik reported the

Hello syslinux, I'm a newbie to extlinux, and I'm a developer from yocto project (an embedded linux project). The device or filesystem must be mounted before we can install the bootsector to the device if I understand correctly, for example: $ mount /dev/sdcX /tmp/mnt $ extlinux -i /tmp/mnt Usually, the mount command requires the root privilage, we may not have the root privilage when

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

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Hi! I use syslinux 3.71 to boot embedded linux based on gentoo. From time to time the "Boot error" message appears. So I have to reinstall the loader. I use the ext3, so the command i invoke looks like that: extlinux -i /dev/[partition]. What can cause such situation?

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

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

Thanks. I've looked through all the links, and it seems everything is fine wrt. to what was mentioned there (I've disabled 64 bits in mke2fs, but it didn't help). I'd be glad to provide more details, but the error message is the only info I've got by now. It seems nothing else can be got from syslinux shell without modifiying the code. I've tried to make it load the kernel

Hi, As you said i downloaded arm toolchain from codesourcery(2009q3 with gcc 4.4.1 version).. if i use this toolchain i am getting the following error.. make[2]: Entering directory `/home/prasanth/LLVM_ARM/llvm-with-armgcc441/llvm-obj/lib/Analysis' llvm[2]: Compiling LoopPass.cpp for Release build if arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ -I/home/prasanth/LLVM_ARM/llvm-with-armgcc433/llvm/include

hi everyone, I am trying to create a custom live cd but I am having some problems with isolinux. A rough sketch of my process : 1) bootstrapped a small rpm based system in /target 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=images/initrd.img bs=1k count=262144 3) /sbin/mke2fs -F -v -m0 images/initrd.img 4) mount -o loop images/initrd.img ./initrd_tmp 5) cp -av /target/* ./initrd_tmp 6) umount 7) gzip -9 <

Hi, I can able to compile LLVM using armgcc_4.3.3 (codesourcery2009q1..).. but when i tried to run it on target it shows GCC 4.3.0 version not found. So i copied the runtime libraries (libc.so and libgcc_s.so) from the toolchain to the target and exported its path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But when i tried to run any llvm tools on target its crashing with Segmentation fault. What could be the problem

Hi all, with reference to the reply below, I downloaded toolchain from codesourcery (arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi) with gcc 4.3.3... when i compile llvm+clang with this toolchain i am getting the following error make[4]: Entering directory `/home/prasanth/LLVM_ARM/llvm-with-armgcc433/llvm-obj/tools/clang/tools/c-index-test' llvm[4]: Linking Release executable c-index-test (without

Hi, I've created a rPath appliance which boots from a USB memory stick. Today I upgraded extlinux on my rPath appliance and the memory stick froze the system during POST. After a lot of trial and errors I found out this could be fixed by wiping the USB memory stick and reproduced it by writing extlinux (3.72) to the stick. I finally found out how to fix this issue, by entering the correct
