Hi all, In June 2007 Jerry Nelson started a thread on this mailing list about a problem he was seeing. The thread was http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-June/008673.html After several hours of searching through the list, I am still convinced that his problem was never solved and is very valid. I recently moved from the old syslinux config options model (all labels in 1 default config file)

We have a system that is designed with no VGA port, graphics card, or keyboard, only a serial console. We're trying to boot a Linux via ISOLINUX. The problem is that when ISOLINUX comes up, the screen is usually garbled. Not always; sometimes it's intact, sometimes it's completely blank. When it is garbled, it is NOT the garbled text of a wrong baud rate. Rather, it looks like

For posterity's sake, this problem was solved by removing the "serial" command and restoring "console" to the default of 1, thus completely relying on the BIOS console redirection instead of having ISOLINUX write to and read from the serial port. Thanks to Peter for his help a while back. -----Original Message----- From: Syslinux [mailto:syslinux-bounces at zytor.com] On

Hi all I had asked the group about the error: NameError (uninitialized constant Mysql) appearing on the localhost since last few days. I was using Webrick for testing. I installed RubyForApache module, which installed mysql.so along with that. It wasnt successful even after following documentation/tutorials word-by-word. Anyway, the bottom line is : I uninstalled RubyForApache and

It seems like there are several messages in the archive and in various forums about this problem, but I do not see a clear course of action for how to solve it. I am relatively new to Linux, compounding my problem. I just built a new machine for the express purpose of running Xen so my girlfriend and I could experiment and learn about different Linux distros. I am running on an Intel DG35EC

Hello, I have downloaded and burned Suse 9.2 Live CD. The problem is, it won't boot. I get "searching for boot record on CDROM... not found" message and then system just boots from hard drive. Other bootable cdroms work, it's just suse that doesn't. I post this here because suse live cd uses isolinux (isolinux.cfg below). Is there a way to make the cd boot, maybe using

Hi. I've recently picked up a 256MB compact flash card and CF->IDE adapter. I'm wanting to put a smaller version of knoppix on here. I came across miniknoppix here: http://www.inittab.org and decided to have a play around with that. So far I have opened up the ISO image and copied all the files out. I have put a boot sector onto the CF by putting the CF into the IDER adpater then

hi, I want to prepeare a CD which will use isolinux to boot so I got the source code of isolinux. Unfortunately I couldn't find enough document to satify my needs.Therefore I got the isolinux folder of Xubuntu CD and I have modified the isolinux.cfg file.My content of modified isolinux.cfg file is shown below. DEFAULT /boot/kernel-2.6.16.24-49 GFXBOOT bootlogo APPEND boot=boot

I''m having problems booting Dom0 on an unbranded server. Server is running SuSE 9.3 x86_64 and has been working fine for a couple of years as a standard boot pc. I installed the 2.0.5c version of Xen which is part of the SuSE repository. I cannot boot into Xen though, booting Dom0 stops after: NET: Registered protocol family 16 I know from a normal boot that the next part is PCI

Thank Zhigang Wang for your response. I have test pvgrub with this config file: #pv-config kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_32.gz" extra = "(hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu.lst" memory = 512 name = "ExampleDomain" disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/opensuse11-1/disk0,xvda,w'' ] vif = [ "bridge=eth0" ] root = "/dev/sda5 ro" start

Hi there, I am trying to migrate from using syslinux with the gfxboot patch to using vesamenu.c32 which is a much simpler solution for my needs. The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose". By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are

I've written a patch to add option-key submenus to menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32 for doing things like changing the video mode. This was inspired the the patch that SuSE applies to the syslinux family and Grub, without the ugly pseudo-PostScript spaghetti. The patch may be found at http://www.valleyhold.org/~gordons/syslinux-optmenus.diff (it's over 30K, so posting it here didn't seem

Hi, since my notebook's CD-ROM drive is dying slowly I tried to install SuSE Linux 9.0 Prof. from my existing PXE/DHCP/TFTP server which already has working configs for 8.0 and 8.2: label 8.0 kernel kernel-8.0 append initrd=initrd-8.0 acpi=off apm=off install="nfs://192.168.20.1/pub/suse/SuSE-8.0" label 8.2 kernel kernel-8.2 append initrd=initrd-8.2 acpi=off apm=off

Hi, to install current PC models (with new Intel NICs) via Kickstart/PXE, I wanted to add the newest e1000e-Treiber to initrd.img. With this modified image, the Kickstart kernel crashes with the following error messages: [...] md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (20480 != 32768) 6062080

I have a physical SLES11SP2/OES11 system that I''ve converted to a domU. It''s boots ok as an HVM, but when I try to boot as a PV it gets stuck. I have the kernel-xen packages installed and confident the menu.lst is correct. If I look at xm console for the VM I get the output below: Any ideas?
