similar to: ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 and menu.c32 -

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 #

I just started to play with syslinux 3.11 and have some problems with the configuration. I want to implement following: wait 5 seconds till the users chooses the right label. if nothing is done for 5 seconds it should boot from next boot device specified by the BIOS. I configured syslinux like that: default menu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 50 ONTIMEOUT localboot totaltimeout 200 display boot.msg MENU

I am attempting to install Gentoo on my cdless machine using the thumbdrive as a boot device. The motherboard is an Intel D815EEA, and is the latest firmware revision (at least on the BIOS). I believe I have done everything right, but it tells me I have unknown keywords in my syslinux.cfg and corrupt kernel images. The steps I have followed are thus: 1) Starting with a 4GB flash device,

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

I'm still trying fruitlessly to get some sort of local disk boot from syslinux EFI to work... using the 6.03 modules. Tried various combinations of configurations on Gene's test binaries. For reference this is on different models of HP Proliant Gen-9 systems with UEFI. Firmware as up to date as it comes. The UEFI boot order has the hard drives and OS ESPs before the PXE interfaces

Hi, OK. I build syslinux-6.02-pre6 from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.02/syslinux-6.02-pre6.tar.gz on a Debian jessie/sid system (with gnu-efi_3.0u+debian-2 from experimental): root at jessie: ~# cd /tmp root at jessie:/tmp# wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.02/syslinux-6.02-pre6.tar.gz root at jessie:/tmp# tar xfz

hi guys ! I have following problem (using pxelinux) I can't boot from my harddrive (netboot works just fine) i conwert my IPadress (with gethostip) and create a configfile like this: -----------C0A80001(192.168.0.1)---------- localboot 0 ----------------------end----------------------- at first te client looks for MAC and then for C0A80001 then i get following: Could not find kernel image:

Hi, I am trying to load an disk image as Floppy=1, og B: using ISOLINUX.

Some time ago, I sent a email to list. With my perfect english, wasn't possible explain my problem, then I recorded a video, end upload to youtube. Please watch the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1KJ8sA4_5w Samuel Rios Carvalho

Hi, It is becoming a bad habit for big OEM vendors to sell computers & servers without floppy drives. Unfortunatly both Windows and Linux (RedHat) need a floppy drive to load storage drivers etc. during installation. This is what I was thinking: Use ISOLINUX and MEMDISK to load a floppy image of a driver disk into memory as a viritual floppy drive "A:"/"/dev/fda" And then

Hi, if you can provide a prepared src tarball like you do for releases, I can test. But I still cannot build from git source (as you may remember). -- Regards, Igor

Hi, I'm missing something in my isolinux.cfg configuration but I'm not quite sure what it is. menu.c32 displays properly over video console, but on the serial connection, the first letter of the labels are duplicated, and the margin is pushed off towards the right: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59666947/isolinux.jpg my config is: --- cut --- 1. serial 0 115200 2. console 0 3. 4.

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've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great. This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my

I like how some cds, such as the windows installer discs will skip booting from the disc if you accidentally left the drive because they require you to hit a key to make them actually boot from the disc. I've kind of tried to emulate this behavior using chain.c32, but, it requires me to specify which harddrive, and I'd rather see an independant setup. I've tried localboot -1, but, it

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
