Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

Hello, you guys have helped me before. I am setting up a multiboot system on my usb stick. At one point, with syslinux, i had the two of the three systems working. However in a sucessful attempt to get the third working, i used that os'es instructions for usb installition, which included syslinux. After which, that system worked, with its syslinux.cfg being located in a non-root folder

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i

New idea proposal: Currently syslinux (and others) searches in for its config file, say syslinux.cfg, in a hardcoded list of directories. I propose that if the config file is not found, instead of producing an error message like "unable to locate config file", it should try to search in root directories and its subdirectories. There is -d option to install syslinux to any directory

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

Hi: Two scripts (mkbd.fails and mkbd.works) are attached to this message. The only difference between them is in how syslinux.cfg (on a RedHat boot image) is replaced. mkbd.fails: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "mv -f". vmlinuz can't be found. mkbd.works: syslinux.cfg is replaced via "cp". vmlinuz is found. The only difference I can see between these two methods is that

Hello list, I'm trying to reuse a fairly old PC based embedded system. It has no video output at all, no VGA, nothing older, and no keyboard / mouse connectors. The console is on a standard RS232 interface, including BIOS output and the minimal BIOS loader. The BIOS emulates / redirects text output to and keyboard input from the console RS232 interface, but unfortunately, this emulation

Hi there, I failed to boot an installer in a VMware player (Version6.0.3 build-1895310) using syslinux 6.03, be it off an hybrid ISO image and an USB stick. Booting succeeds if the VM is set to use a BIOS firmware with both media, but fails using an efi firmware. Trying to boot off the ISO image I get an error message "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception" Trying to

Hello, I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu. The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on ubuntu, even after root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64 So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well. Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources: --- syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh.orig 2012-08-28

Hello, I'm reporting a bug, see attached syslinux.cfg I'm using submenu entries to emulate checkbox inputs. The idea is simple, there are submenus generated for all possible cases, and each Enter keypress loads appropriate submenu section. The logic of the menu is correct. Just syslinux has some bug. It doesn't set MENU DEFAULT properly for all submenus. If your first Enter keypress

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg.

Hi, My workstation is running CentOS 7 on two disks (sda and sdb) in a software RAID 1 setup. It looks like I accidentally nuked it. I wanted to write an installation ISO file to a USB disk, and instead of typing dd if=install.iso of=/dev/sdc I typed /dev/sdb. As soon as I hit <Enter>, the screen froze. I tried a hard reset, but of course, the boot process would stop short very early in

There is a maximum of 255 characters of parameters you can pass to the kernel.

I got HD audio baised on Realtek, I have installed appropirate drivers from realtek website, they work in Slax, but they don't work with WINE. When i go to AUDIO card in WINE its says no_audio, what could be wrong?

If 'msdos' filesystem is not compiled in Kernel (and I don't have the msdos.ko module neither), then syslinux refuses to work. Is it possible to fix syslinux to try more filesystems, not only msdos? Or is it possible to call the mount command somehow without filesystem option at all, so the kernel (or whatever) will decide itself what filesystem to use? Thank you for
