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

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

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

Hey, Looks like read disk function which was launched in 3.35 isnt working. Did anyone test this on any hardware? I'm using it thru the com32 interface to read contents of the active partition of a USB boot key (syslinux). I did a sample test like: void scanAndPrint() { com32sys_t regs_in; char *sectorBuf = __com32.cs_bounce; int i; memset(sectorBuf, 0x0, 512); // XXX MARK 1

Hi, I'm trying to get to the bottom of a problem using the combination of tboot (http://tboot.sf.net, trusted boot kernel for Intel TXT) and extlinux. TBOOT loads using the multiboot protocol, where the tboot "kernel" is loaded as the kernel, and the actual linux kernel and initrd are specified as modules. A working grub configuration looks something like:

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

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

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

Hi Peter, Please pull the following changes. Paulo, I had to revert your "pxe: resolve names via DNS from protected-mode code" change because dns_resolv() is only implemented for PXELINUX and causes undefined symbol references for ISOLINUX, etc. Feel free to make the change again on top of the revert. The following changes since commit e7bd19def830e8341b1a100956345f1028740b9e:

Hi I'm trying to make sense of the macroblock coding modes in section 7.4 of the Theora spec. The text in the specification is: (d) For each consecutive macro block in coded order (cf. Section 2.4) indexed by mbi: i. If a block bi in the luma plane of macro block mbi exists such that BCODED[bi ] is 1: A. If MSCHEME is not 7, read one bit at a time until one of

Hello, I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present in mboot.c now, so I added support for it. The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next release of syslinux so ELF multiboot

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Centos 6.4. I am experiencing a Wireless Disconnects, some time ago I had them constantly each 2-3minutes. After upgrading to new kernel (and other software from "Software Update" I am still exepriencing disconnects but every 10-15 minutes. It makes me angry because I am doing a lot of work with ftp servers. Card: *Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285

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

Hello All, ?I have a Dell Vostro 1550 laptop. i3 core, 64 bit, 8gb ram etc etc. I had a nic interface, but some how the wired nic is not working. So I am trying to use the BCM 4313 wireless chip, of this system, to connect to the internet. ?I have Cent os 6.5 (64 bit) installed with the required libraries and kernel sources, headers etc. I got the source code of the driver,

dear list, i'm trying to install the package RCurl into a linux system running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 but i get compilation errors which i guess should be due to some missing additional software. i've been searching about the R-help archives without success so i hope somebody can point me out to this missing piece. in principle, i have the necessary curl software installed:
