similar to: Syslinux: Broken file reading for fat16 with 3.35+?

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

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

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, I just found syslinux gives corrupt data when reading files from a FAT16 partition. The fat16 implementation was using the reserved Dir_FstClusHi (offset 20 in the directory entry, name quoted from VFAT spec from Microsoft) which is supposed to be 0 for FAT12 and FAT16. Linux ignores this and never uses the Dir_FstClusHi cluster with 0 for FAT16/12, so it works fine. >From the spec:

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

folks, If you boot from syslinux based USB/harddisk, is there a way to know the partition or disk you booted from? I'm using the mboot module, so if the info is availble to thru the COM api, i can get it and append it to cmdline. thanks. -- Ram

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

I am trying to boot Linux from a USB memory device containing an ext2 file system using extlinux and having a bit of trouble. Apologies for any naiive questions and assumptions. The USB device is an 8M byte Compact Flash card in a USB reader. I used fdisk to create a single partition across the whole of the device (partition 4 - is that important?) and made it bootable. Fdsik reported the

Okay, MediaWiki syntax docs follow. Note I have tested those only a bit, and not within the vesamenu context, but if mboot.c32 resets to

Thank you for your answer. I need to correct some information from my previous post: booting from `/` did not work either. I just assumed it did based on previous experience. But with that successful build on development branch, it did not either. > I would suggest trying first the official binaries that are already > included in the official distribution archive (6.03-pre1).

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

I have a system running CentOS 6.3, with a SCSI attached RAID: http://www.raidweb.com/index.php/2012-10-24-12-40-09/janus-ii-scsi/2012-10-24-12-40-59.html For disaster recovery purposes, I want to build up a spare system which could take the place of the server hosting the RAID above. But here's what I see: # fdisk -l /dev/sdc WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on

Hi, I'm hope I'm right here. I'm trying to boot a XEN 3.2.1 via PXEBoot using the following config: LABEL xen_3.2_amd64 kernel mboot.c32 append images/debian/xen_3.2/amd64/xen-3.2-1-amd64.gz \ --- images/debian/xen_3.2/amd64/vmlinuz-2.6.26-bpo.1-xen-amd64 rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.16.0.1:/var/lib/tftpboot/clientroot panic=0 \ ---

My previous question: "can syslinux on a USBstik also boot installations on other USB devices ?" got no proper reply, so I'm now including more background detail. The new problem is that my 32bit partition of ETHOberon, only gives a proper font-size under Debian7:DVDinstaller:rescueMode, since I'm forced to use a laptop, after my previous systems were stolen. Neither gnome nor
