similar to: eth1 with syslinux?

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, syslinux: I am using pxelinux to install the Linux by network, it works fine. My question is in order to boot the client machine from network, my boot order(which set in BIOS) is: First, network; Second, Harddisk; Third, ...... But when the client machine finished the Linux installation, it will boot from network again and reinstall the OS again. So how can avoid this reinstall issue

Hi all, I have just released syslinux-3.70-pre25. Unless someone has something big and scary that either I have managed to miss or was just stumbled over, I'm going to release 3.70 final some time between tomorrow and Monday. Thus, *please holler now* if there are any stop-ship problems still known... -hpa

Hello all, I'm booting a USB stick (DOS formatted, one 1GB partition) and I'd like to offer the choice of either continue booting from the USB stick, or booting from the installed hard disk (Linux ext3). I've asked this question here previously and Quinn replied saying I should use the 'localboot -1' option which would pass boot to the next device. And so I did. The BIOS

Hi, I need a little information from you all. Kindly update me about the file systems that are supported by SYSLINUX for ramdisk image... Thanks in advance and regards, Pankaj Agarwal

Dear list, I am trying to configure the nagios plugin called check_sip. I just read the README file included with the plugin. I follow the readme steps to configure the plugin, without success. In the nagios web interface I can see (No output!) In the status information column. If I run the chech_sip plugin from a linux console, I get /usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_sip -u

Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

I am trying to figure out 2 things. First I have downloaded the version 4.05 of the syslinux distribution and am looking for the pxelinux.0 file and can't see to find it in the distribution am I missing something? Secondly I have an older copy and I can get it to boot to the tftp32 server for a server I am building. It errors out when it gets to the nic card and then exists to the shell.

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

Hello, My challenge is to run Linux on a computer where I don't dare to touch the Microsoft Windows harddisk. Fifthteen years ago would be trick to attach a second harddisk to the computer and boot from floppy disk. In 2011 is the idea to attach a second disk and netboot it. One approach is to TFTP the kernel and append 'root=/dev/sdb1' This E-mail is however to seek advice for

Hi! I was looking to download EXTLINUX in the following page : http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Download But I do not see that it can be done. It is said that "The SYSLINUX download includes PXELINUX, ISOLINUX and MEMDISK as well." But, there is no word about EXTLINUX Please, advise Thanks Mau

I have put a compile hack in for older distros and pushed it out as syslinux-3.62-pre16; for those who have reported compilation problem on older distros I would greatly appreciate if you could confirm if it works now (it worked for me on a CentOS 3.9 VM.) -hpa

Hi folks, Syslinux 5.01 is out, a week later than predicted but that's largely down to the realloc() bug described below. This release is mainly a collection of bug fixes for problems reported after people tested Syslinux 5.00. The NEWS entries are included at the bottom. There was a pretty nasty realloc() bug that took some time to find and fix, which resulted in memory corruption. There

After so much time and improvements, I'm glad to see and publicize a pre-release, 6.04-pre1 in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ Personally, I've already been working testing the pre-release as-is and my tests have been positive so far. I appreciate feedback like that from Gabriele Balducci and testing "make bios installer". Yes, there are a

Hi Folks, I'm interested in "headless" installation. If I use GRUB, then I provide arguments to the kernel of things like "headless vnc vncpassword=whoopie ip=dhcp" GRUB passes this on to ISOLinux, which manages the CD and subsequently the installation. Shouldn't I be able to do exactly the same thing with EXTLinux? I ask, because, as you might suspect, I
