similar to: extlinux "boot failed" on older (pentium 3)

I have 3 older pentium-3 systems (asus cubx, asus cusl2-c) that give a "boot failed" message when trying to boot with extlinux on a flash card (which uses an ide converter, so it looks like a regular ide hard drive to the os & bios). These worked fine when I used syslinux & fat16. If I take out the flash card & ide converter and put it in a newer p4 system, it boots fine.

Hello, I use the extlinux bootloader, and I've recently discovered that the current version can no longer boot Windows. The message it flashes is "Requested partition not found!" After downgrading to the version 3.86, it was able boot correctly. Unfortunately, I do not know in which was the last version which was able to boot Windows (I rarely boot it), but I am pretty sure that

Hi all: my filesystem is btrfs. /boot and / is on the same partition(/dev/sda2, format btrfs). i install syslinux as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-extlinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-tftpboot-4.00-1.i386.rpm 2. extlinux-i /boot/extlinux. (the extlinux.sys can't be create on the directory). 3. i copy extlinux.conf to /boot/extlinux . (of course

Hi folks! In my system i have a SSD card, and i try to install extlinux in it. But, my extlinux installation not work!! I make a initrd to boot my machine on lan, and my init execute a installation of extlinux version 3.86 on my SSD card. The installation on init is similar to: http://pastebin.com/szcYCCjR The return of installation of extlinux is: /mnt is /dev/sda1 And the install not report

Hi! Can extlinux boot Linux kernel from the second drive? I want to leave Windows XP on the first IDE drive and put Linux to the first partition (ext2/ext3) on the second IDE drive. I am allowed to change MBR on the first drive. Will the following configuration work? /dev/hda1 - Windows /dev/hdb1 - Linux root (/, /boot, ...) /dev/hda - extlinux in MBR /boot/vmlinuz extlinux /boot

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

I am new to syslinux/extlinux. Can I boot from a linux btrfs subvolume? I am getting "Failed to load ldlinux.c32" when I attempt to boot from a btrfs subvolume. Setup: 1) I have a USB disk with one partition. The partition is marked "active". 2) I make a btrfs filesystem with "mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdd1". I mount the partiton and execute "btrfs su create

Hi, I am having a problem booting from a disk installed with extlinux. The exact configuration that worked with version 3.36, when upgraded to 3.50, appears to still work on the same disk. But if I zap out the disk (i.e. start from scratch again) and install extlinux, the disk fails to boot. Extlinux stops at the boot: prompt after displaying "Could not find kernel image: linux". It

Hi, I merged ldlinux.asm and extlinux.asm on the fsc branch, observing that there were very little difference between them left. So far, so good. I found, however, a test which fails on the fsc branch (with or without the merge.) I have tracked it down to vfat_mangle_name() overwriting a bunch of random .bss16 memory, eventually including the CallbackSP variable.

Hi. I am trying to use EXTLINUX 3.08 to boot a Soekris net4801 from a CompaqFlash card. BIOS reports the CF card as the first master harddisk. During boot/load the loader hangs after this output: EXTLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19 PXELINUX and LILO works fine on the same setup It this a general problem with Soekris/net4801 and EXTLINUX?

Hi, I'm trying to boot Debian-Installer image from extlinux with chain.c32; i.e.: - I'm doing this from a loopback device (loop0) which later will be dumped to an USB stick. - GPT disklabel. - Partition 15 (loop0p15) contains extlinux info, and partition 12 contains Debian multi-arch installer image *dumped*[1], and its corresponding menu entry for extlinux is something like: LABEL

Hello, I have set up 2 PXE servers, on Linux Debian Sarge and Etch, on which I use syslinux + ISC dhcp3 + tftp-hpa for booting. The older one, on Sarge, has been working fine for more than a year, great :-) The new one, on Etch, with the exact same config files, does not : the DHCP part seems to work, but at the end pxelinux seems to lose the server's IP address; this what I see on the
