similar to: Trouble booting contents of an iso with the bootsect.bin included.

Hello other Syslinux users. I am absolutely brand new to syslinux, and i need help setting it up. I have read all of the documentation on the site, to no avail. Basically I need like an example syslinux.cfg file that allows for multiple boot as well as a background picture. In essence i am attempting to setup up several different linux live systems and dos boot floppy utilities on my usb stick. I

Hello, I am trying to make a usb stick full of utilities. However some of the utilities do not use syslinux, and are iso's. Is there any method available for turning the iso into a bootable drive img to be used with memdisk? -- Dimeneira aka Dime

Is there a method by which one could boot an ISO image from a flash drive with syslinux? -- Dimeneira aka Dime

Hi! Facing a strange problem about not being able to access the floppy drive after booting from a rescue-floppy with 2.2.x kernel on an asus p4te mainboard, i searched the net and found a bug in the bootsector of the 2.2.x kernels. Before control is redirected to the kernel, the floppy drive is shut down in a way, that freezes the FD-Controller on recent mainboards (like the ASUS P4T-E). The

Deal all, Hi. I'm a new user of isolinux. And I 'm trying to boot a WinXP installation CD with it. I extracted the bootsect, and place it into the same folder together with isolinux.bin. Here's a section of my isolinux.cfg: ... label winxp kernel xpsect.bin ... The boot splash showed fine. Unfortunately when I tried to boot it, I got the following: ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

Is it possible for syslinux to load another syslinux with it's own configuration file found in another directory? If so, where can I find sample? Thanks in advance

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. For the

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Mr Anvin, is there a specific loading address used with the Syslinux bootsector (to load ldlinux.sys)? like msdos 0x70, freedos 0x60 we're trying to have a SYS program that can create bootsector for other OS's than FreeDOS only. not much luck though :( this way I'm trying to avoid the use of syslinux.exe/com (need the diskspace that it would save by not including this program) I

Add nbdkit-floppy-plugin, “inspired” by qemu's VVFAT driver, but without the ability to handle writes. The implementation is pretty complete, supporting FAT32, LFNs, volume labels, timestamps, etc, and it passes both ‘make check’ and ‘make check-valgrind’. Usage is simple; to serve the current directory: $ nbdkit floppy . Then using guestfish (or any NBD client): $ guestfish --ro

Create a virtual FAT-formatted floppy disk from a directory of files. For example: nbdkit floppy /path/to/directory The implementation of this is quite different from nbdkit-iso-plugin since we cannot use an external program. Instead this plugin synthesizes the MBR partition and FAT32 structures that are required. To do: Implement bootable virtual floppy using syslinux. This is not

I'm trying to install extlinux on my dual-booting computer, but when i try cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda the computer boots windows (it doesn't even come up with the extlinux menu). My partition setup is as follows: /dev/sda1 -> NTFS (Windows) /dev/sda5 -> Linux Swap /dev/sda6 -> Linux Root (/) /dev/sda7 -> Linux Home (/home) Now I presume that mbr.bin calls the bootsector of

I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and
