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,

I just tried to boot extlinux off of /dev/sdb and use the option localboot 0x80. I was hoping to see syslinux for the second time as the system loaded the master boot rec from /dev/sda. Why is this option only in pxelinux and isolinux? Nicholas A. Schembri State College PA USA

Hi, Not sure if this is the right mailing list for this kind of question, but I am looking for a way to boot Linux/other OS from within Linux i.e. once I have booted into Linux may be using pxe or otherwise and then I decide to boot Windows from or Linux from localdisk, then instead of rebooting th machine can I somehow execute the boot sector/grub/ntldr etc from within Linux? Is this at all

Folks, Please find attached a proposal for the Xen development roadmap for the next 18 months or so. The roadmap gives a "state of the nation" summary and provides suggestions as to priorities going forward. I''ve tried to be inclusive and collect together many of the various features that folks have asked for, along with some implementation ideas to guide developers. The

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, First, let me thank you for the excellent documentation and programming work on Syslinux. It has made getting to this point infinitely easier. Unfortunately, I need to request some guidance in troubleshooting a problem I am having using the RedHat installer on their version 7.3, which uses Syslinux as the boot mechanism. A little background: I have an old Micron Powerdigm XsU dual PII

Hiya, Just joined the list and started using pxelinux. Very cool product!!! I searched the, 8+ MB, archives looking for multicast entries. I know that the pxelinux page says that the support of mtftp in pxelinux isn't in the works but I'm not sure how old/relavant that comment is. I have noticied some comments from H.P.A. describing the difficulties in doing MTFTP. Are there any plans to

Hello Everyone, In short, I have the following questions: Is there a known problem with PXE booting and LinuxBIOS? Will pxelinux.0 not work with a serial console? Is there a way to convert pxelinux.0 into an ELF file? The Long Version: I am working on installing Rocks Cluter distribution on a LinuxNetworx cluster.

Hi, thanks for writing cptime, after manually adding it to the Makefile of a lwip git checkout it compiled fine (same about prdhcp) (only isohybrid complained about a missing uuid/uuid.h)...

Hello everyone and best wishes for 2023 :) I have an old *Garmin Drive Smart 50 GPS* and I want to be able to attach it when it is in preboot mode to a VM hosted by a *Debian 11 host*. From what I understand, the preboot mode allows us to flash a firmware before the GPS actually starts (used among other things when the GPS is soft bricked). When I connect the GPS to the host it gives:
