similar to: Patch to add Symbols/segments loader for mboot.c

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

I'm seeing this on a HP Blade and i'm not sure why this is happning since the nature of the issue is so wierd. I compiled mboot.c with a DEBUG defined in the mboot.c file. In the funciton init_mmap(), it prints the e820 map and on the HP blade this map values come out to be totally random. Some weird numbers which dont make any sense at all. However, if i add a while(1); or a exit(1); at

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

Hi all, A number of people have posted to the Xen lists recently wanting to network-boot Xen on machines whose NICs are not supported by GRUB. I''ve been writing a module for PXELINUX that will allow it to boot Xen directly over the network on PXE-enabled machines, without relying on any hacks (mbootpack, &c.), or needing to write/port any device drivers. I have a version of it

If you have a multiboot kernel which is booted by syslinux/pxelinux/isolinux, etc., is there a way to determine who actually is the bootloader among the three? I'm wondering if the multiboot header or any part of memory has a consistent identifier somewhere. thanks, Ram

This is a resend since I didn't hear back from anyone. Hey guys, I noticed the appended ipappend options end up in the beginning of the cmdline argv[] when mboot is entered. mboot then tries to parse the first argument as the name of the kernel module and promptly fails cuz it can't find "ip=.." or "bootif=...". I'm attaching a patch which basically looks for any

I'm attempting to PXE boot a XEN dom0 kernel version 2.6.16, xen version 3.0.2-2. I've built syslinux-3.20-pre8 from source and am using the following config: DEFAULT mboot.c32 xen-3.0.2-2.gz dom0_mem=258048 --- vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen0 ro console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1 --- initrd.img Where initrd.img is my own custom initrd that I've built to do some pre-setup before booting to the real

Hello, I noticed after upgrading from 3.20, I haven't been able to get syslinux to boot properly with menu.c32 or mboot.c32 from a USB key. I get an error saying invalid kernel when its trying to load menu.c32 or mboot.c32 (or any other kernel for that matter). I tried 3.35 and 3.36-pre5. Same exact behaviour. I'm using the following to compile: gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux

From: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> If a loaded kernel is in ELF format and contains a multiboot header indicating valid relocation information, prefer the informations from the ELF header. This is in violation of the Multiboot spec, but it's the way GRUB does things and Solaris kernels rely on this behaviour. Signed-of-by: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> --- diff

Hi all, I've started writing a new mboot.c32 using the Syslinux native APIs; it is currently on the new-mboot branch of the Syslinux git repository. However, I don't have a huge number of things which use Multiboot set up to test, so I'd really appreciate it if you're a user of mboot.c32 to help me try this and report back positive or negative. I don't have the Solaris DHCP

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hi all, I'm attempting to PXE boot ESXi, which uses the syslinux mboot.c32 module. The mboot.c32 included with ESXi seems to be an older version that runs into an "out of memory loading.." problem halfway through, even though the box has 8GB memory. This may be related to NUMA, since it works fine on an older box but not the newer blade. I saw that some non-contiguous memory issues

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive.

Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

Hello, I get the following message while loading my multiboot kernel with mboot.c32: "Invalid Multiboot image: neither ELF header nor a.out kludge found". I checked the code and came across this (com32/mboot/map.c line 130) : if (i + mbh_len < len) mbh_len = 0; /* Invalid... */ else break; /* Found something... */ } Shouldn't it be "if (i + mbh_len >=

Hi, This patch ensures that mboot.c32 will always jump to a physical address when loading a Multiboot kernel. Some kernels are linked with a virtual entry point and without this patch these kernels are unbootable.

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

Hi, I am trying to get xen booted on a new mainboard I bought using efi-syslinux/mboot. No success so far. When I choose the xen menu entry except from some characters being wiped from the bottom of the screen nothing is happening. I have made a typo in the xen kernel filename. Nothing changed, no errors about wrong a filename were displayed Initially I compiled syslinux 6.03 (slackware64,
