similar to: isolinux and serial console

Greetings, I'm using isolinux and I'd like to make it spawn serial consoles to all four devices (ttyS{0..3} / COM{0..3})... if spawning on just one (serial 0 38400), everything works great, however, should I attempt to spawn on all four, no console is available at all. How come? The relevant part of isolinux.cfg: serial 0 38400 serial 1 38400 serial 2 38400 serial 3 38400 Thanks in

Hello all, I'm trying to use the console to setup our cluster. In the past, we used a floppy and it worked just fine. We had to manually use the "ks=" argument. Now, I actually see the "menu" on the serial console *and* the monitor but I can't use the keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. Unplugging the keyboard doesn't help.

Hi, I have a problem with isolinux failing to boot a kernel whenever I navigate and trigger the menu via serial console. My test machine is a DL585 G2, with iLO2. Navigating and booting the kernels off of the video console works 100% of the time. With the serial connection however, I _sometimes_ get a "menu.c32: not a COM32R image" error. Sometime it works fine. I suspect the serial

Hello list, I am trying to use the console to setup my machine. During boot I am able see the syslinux boot prompt on the serial console *and* the monitor, but I can not use the console keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. After the kernel is loaded, the console keyboard starts working, but, this does not help me much, since I still need to use the keyboard

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.

Hi Geert, I'm building syslinux 6.04 from scratch to prevent any issues with mismatched com32 modules. This gives me a "pure" set of modules as well as "pure" isolinux and syslinux cores. menu.c32 works perfectly on both the USB and CD boot media: I can move around the menu and select the command that I wish to use. In all cases, both the USB and CD boot properly into

Hello Family, I'm trying to help with a problem where there is a headless/cardless server and we need to create an isolinux image that points the display to the serial port. The original machine that is using this has the ability in the bios to redirect its video to /dev/ttyS0 or such but the machines I have access to do NOT have that ability built into the bios. [question] Is there a way

Hello Family, In creating an iso to boot the headless/cardless server, I've got isolinux to boot the system OK but still can't get the output to export to /dev/ttyS0 I've got a test script that pipes a "Hello World" to /dev/ttyS0 which show up fine on the other Linux box so I know that tunnel is intact. Here is the contents of my "isolinux.cfg" file that is

Greetings, I wonder whether there are any plans to build udflinux or the likes. I've searched through the mailing list, finding out that should I create a mixed ISO9660/UDF filesystem. Unfortunately, that is not an option if I want to use a significant feature of UDF filesystem, which is writing. Making a mixed ISO9660/UDF, using mkisofs -udf, will (to my best knowledge) not allow me to

We modified our copy of syslinux. We're now sharing those modifications. That's so that: 1. We fulfill our requirements under the GPL 2. Our modifications might be picked up and included in the base code. That way we wouldn't have to make the same modifications, again, later. Since we're using CentOS 5.3, and CentOS 5.3 derives from RHEL 5.3, and RHEL 5.3 uses

I have a need to display text to COM2 before loading a kernel. The easiest way to do this was to invade menu.c32 (menumain.c) and add a function to send the string out to the serial port just before the selected menu "label" is executed. In menumain.c, my function is called just before 'if (cmdline)'. The code I wrote to initialize the hardware and send individual characters

Alle, After upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5, our serial console configuration non longer work. We have the following upstart file: [cwfox at hilo ~]$ cat /etc/init/ttyS0.conf # ttyS0 - agetty # # This service maintains a agetty on ttyS0. stop on runlevel [S016] start on runlevel [23] respawn exec agetty -h -L -w /dev/ttyS0 115200 vt100 [cwfox at hilo ~]$ And the following in /etc/securetty:

Could it be that syslinux is waiting for ever if you use serial mode?

I have a C7 server with a physical RS-232 console, but the config should be similar. I did not have to generate a systemd service for this; systemd saw the console line and automatically started the getty without me having to generate a

Hi, I tried to build a multiboot DVD and decided to integrate the SuSE Linux LiveDVD. For several reasons the easiest way (as far as I can see) to do this is to boot the isolinux of the SuSE DVD with the "main" isolinux on my multiboot DVD. I do not want to use SuSE's modified version as default boot loader for some reasons! I decided to do it as follows (correct me, if

Hi, some time ago I asked if it is possible to boot one isolinux from another one. The reason: I tried to integrate a SuSE Live DVD on a multiboot DVD, but SuSE uses a modified version of isolinux. I tried the following: 1. I copied the isolinux stuff from the SuSE DVD to /boot/suselive. 2. I edited isolinux.bin and substituted "/boot/isolinux" by "/boot/ suselinux" 3. I
