Can extlinux / syslinux use a usb port for the console? Hi all, I just picked up a energy efficient server with built in 3 hour ups, toshiba Laptop. I've been using serial consoles for monitoring and controlling the boot process, but this laptop has only usb ports. Can Extlinux use ttyUSB0 for the console? I love the extlinux for booting usb devices. Thank you for the hard work,

Hi, I'm working on making an USB flash disk bootable and have succeeded in booting Linux using syslinux from disk in USB-HDD mode. Is there a way to do it in USB-FDD mode, possibly also using syslinux as a bootloader?

Hello, My desktop machine at work was replaced and they gave me a Dell Optiplex GX520 machine to use. When booting from CD-ROM I use isolinux 3.50 and the keyboard does not work. It does work once linux boots, and it works if I hit the F2 to go into bios before isolinux starts. I have searched google and the syslinux archives for 'Optiplex GX520' but have not found any reports of

To all or anyone: I have a very strange problem when using syslinux, and lnx-bbc. Perhaps somebody can provide some insight into Syslinux as it relates to what I'm trying to do. At Peerless, we use LNX-BBC to build a bootable USB thumbdrive. We added a script to init.d in the ram disk to execute one our scripts during LNX-BBC boot from the USB thumb drive. I have seen an apparent

The same as with the ISOLINUX, stable and git. Only this time has nothing to do with the menu. Enjoy the summertime.

Hello all, I just installed syslinux 2.10 on my usb-stick. It still boots then, but doesn't load initrd.gz (same config file..). Reverting back to syslinux 2.09 works fine, eg: initrd.gz is loaded. Something changed in initrd handling code? greetz, Jaap Crezee NB I am willing to share you more information or hints how to solve the problem. I am using kernel 2.6.7-bk20

Hi, I'm trying to setup a Linux CD on mashine that will have nothing but a CDROM. Everything worked fine until I removed the HDD. From this moment on the CD doesn;t boot. I upgraded to Syslinux 2.0 but with no luck. The error message I got almost says it all: "Extremely broken BIOS", but can I ask for help if there some ideas how to fix this, cause if I put the HDD back the CD boots

I am working on a Linux-based boot disk for my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/), and I have hit a snag. Under Linux 2.6, the kernel (via HDIO_GETGEO) always reports the C/H/S geometry of an IDE drive as X/16/63. But most BIOSes want to use the geometry Y/255/63. Most partitioning tools (including Parted) will take clues from an existing partition table and adapt to the BIOS values.

Hi, My name is Curtis and I'm a 1st year student in Biochemistry at the University of Geneva. I need some help completing the code for my NEWTON ALGORITHM. It is a bonus exercice to our autumn semester maths exam and we can hand it in or not. Usually people copy and paste but I decided to sit down and review theory and ask for help left right and center. My problem is that I cannot get my

Hi guys! I have a question (or a request?) on Wx::ListCtrl#get_item method. As you can see in the wxWindows reference, wxListCtrl::GetItem method of C++ is different from that of wxPython. C++ return value: boolean argument: wxListItem& info wxPython return value: wxListItem arguments: int ID, int column (optional) How about wxruby? >From the wxruby source code, wxruby looks

I've been diagnosing an issue where an 8GB Freecom Databar formatted using Ubuntu usb-creator would fail to boot, reporting "Missing operating system". It was hard to read the message since the system would immediately clear-screen as GRUB started from the hard disk. I looked at syslinux's mbr/mbr.S and realised that the message originated from the boot sector. In an attempt to

I have successfully created bootable USB flash drives containing the following bootable products: 1) Clonezilla (recent version) 2) Ultimate Boot CD (recent version) 3) OpenELEC (recent version) All of these apparently use SYSLINUX as part of the boot process. All three boot up just fine and with no problems at all on virtually all of the various systems that I have here at my

I have a patch that I think may help your situation of syslinux.efi being unable to load ldlinux.e64/ldlinux.e32 (though I don't know if any of you are using an EFI ia32 platform). The basics are that we try to enable UseDefaultAddress as it helps certain clients with routing and works on numerous other clients. If we timeout on receiving a packet and have never received any packets, disable

Are there anyone who has a machine on which the *current* version of SYSLINUX ends up with an inoperable USB keyboard, especially when using the menu system? I might have a workaround, but I don't have a system which exhibits the problem available to me at the moment, and I really don't want to put in a hack without knowing that it actually does anything... If you do have such a

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

Folks, When I run syslinux on my Sandisk Cruzer (512MB) USB flash RAM with the "syslinux /dev/sda" , it corrupts the partition table that I had already created on my USB device. It attempts to boot but eventually fails trying to load the kernel. If I try "syslinux /dev/sda1", the USB device fail to boot at all. I would think that /dev/sda would be the correct device to use if

Hi, I've a usb-key that boot regularly on a PC using syslinux 2.09; well, this PC (a thin-client) at the moment is the only PC that can boot from USB in my office... and it usually booted oretty well, without any hacks... After changed to syslinux 3.07, it stopped booting, showing a simple "BOOT ERROR" message, nothing more... Reverting to syslinux 2.09, it restarted to work...
