similar to: Configuration question for syslinux 3.11 menu and ontimeout option

Hi 2 all ! I want to implement a new option into version 2.11 of syslinux: The feature should do the following: Ask the user if he really wants to boot from dvd. If no keyboard key is pressed in an amount of time it should boot from the next device configured in BIOS (INT 18h). I looked up the isolinux.asm and tried 2 entry points for my code: 1. entry point: label

Hi 2 all ! I have problems with concurrent filesystem actions on a ocfs2 filesystem which is mounted by 2 nodes. OS=RH5ES and OCFS2=1.2.6 F.e.: If I have a LV called testlv which is mounted on /mnt on both servers and I do a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.a bs=1024 count=1000000" on server 1 and do at the same time a du -hs /mnt/test.a it takes about 5 seconds for du -hs to execute: 270M

Hi, I just found this post: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-September/005814.html ONTIMEOUT was broken in menu.c32, and you fixed it. But the fix broke support for LABEL references in ONTIMEOUT. I changed my "ONTIMEOUT local" to "ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1" and it works! Anoying is that I tried ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 before. This failed, but after having a look at the

Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe #

Hi, I am having some problem with LOCALBOOT and menu.c32 This is my isolinux.cfg: ------------------------------------------- default menu.c32 timeout 50 prompt 0 ontimeout local menu title "TITLE" label livecd menu default manu label "LiveCD" kernel gentoo append initrd=initrd.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/ livecd.squashfs

I'm fond of using the above with TIMEOUT 100 and vesamenu.c32 so the system just cycles the menus repeatedly awaiting user interaction. However if user interacts, but then don't choose anything for a few minutes, the next time she chooses the pxelinux.0 option it will hang. This occurs on different models of HP ProLiant DL G5. The only way to recover is to hard reset the system. Is

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

Hi. I'm trying to get around the problem of an overloaded tftp server causing a pxelinux client hanging at the boot: prompt, waiting for input (no one will input anything to it). The server is OK enough to give the pxebootloader but not the config file, as in this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2004-June/003662.html So, in that case, I guess setting TIMEOUT to some

Hi ! I recognized today that if I create a new filesystem that already 2% of the filesystem are used: /dev/mapper/raid3VG-sts007 79G 1.1G 78G 2% /srv/xyz/sts/007 even if the filesystem is completly empty. What are this 2% of (hidden) data or is it some kind of reserved blocks ? yours Arnold -- Arnold Maderthaner J4Care Inc.

Peter, Paulo reported some problems with his config files under ISOLINUX and PXELINUX - basically TIMEOUT and TOTALTIMEOUT were broken. The patches I've pushed to the elflink branch fix this and also fix parsing of the ALLOWOPTIONS config directive.

I have a project g4l that uses syslinux and have been working on the next version. I installed the 3.74 pre5, and it worked just fine. But I was doing a test, and booted the systems, and usually pick the default kerenel or one of the other kernels on the CD before it times out with 60 seconds. But this time, I didn't do that. It loaded the default kernel with no problem, but then gives

Testing the following (uncommon) syslinux.cfg with different Syslinux versions allows getting to several observations; some might be of interest to users, and some for the Syslinux developers. syslinux.cfg *** UI menu.c32 DEFAULT help TIMEOUT 30 # ONTIMEOUT help LABEL pwd COM32 pwd.c32 LABEL help MENU HELP help.txt *** 1_ For the TIMEOUT-related directives to behave as expected,

Hello, I have the following problem. I am trying to pxeboot a virtual machine using Sun's Virtualbox.

hy, i'm looking for a way to register the start of a specific menu entry (the parameter is "linux") with the ontimeout handler, unfortunately the complex example only offers beep(). what is the correct way to start this specific entry? something like char *call = "linux"; return call; thx in advance, marco
