similar to: Problem booting extlinux from disk

Hi, I previously had extlinux 3.07 booting off a VMWare SCSI disk fine. After upgrading to 3.08, the system seem to hang after the EXTLINUX welcome/copyright message, even before the boot: prompt appears. Verified that downgrading back to 3.07 is fine, re-upgrading to 3.08 hangs again. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. Regards, .lzs -- Lai Zit Seng http://pobox.com/~lzs/

Hi all, This maybe a newbie question in which case I apologise hugely. While I'm not new to Linux I am new to bootloaders :-/ I would like to install a custom CD distribution on a system via serial interface (that bit I can do) but the system doesn't have a CD-ROM drive! I'm trying to copy the ISO to the disk and boot from that. So far I have done this... - Net boot the system

I'm having a problem with extlinux booting to a Linux kernel image and initial ramdisk with a symbolic link. My /boot looks like this: extlinux.conf extlinux.sys initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.22.1 initrd.img-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 The relevant section of my extlinux.conf file is this: label 1 kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/initrd.img The error

Hi, I'm new the syslinux and found some bug. For example, when I install a boot file system into /mnt/boot during usb booted system, the extlinux reports the following error. /usr/bin/extlinux -i /mnt/boot /mnt/boot is device proc /usr/bin/extlinux: cannot open device proc But /mnt/boot is mounted on /dev/sda1 and ext3 file system. I read the source code and found the following code in

Hello, I have a population of 2000+ zoo time series (but my environment also contains objects that are not zoo time series). I'm trying to calculate the latest 90 days Z-Score of all zoo time series, using the following code: LZS<-function(ser) { temp<-window(ser,start=Sys.Date()-90) last((temp-mean(temp))/sd(temp)) } sapply(ls(), LZS ) The LZS function works on individual zoo time

Trying again since the mailing list says I have a 'suspiscous header'. I have been told to get linux running on two HP DL360G4p machines (ancient rackmount xeon stuff). Unfortunately, while isolinux boots fine from CDROM, and extlinux can boot a USB stick, I cannot get extlinux to boot from the CCISS hard disks (two disks in hardware raid 1 configuration). I searched on google a lot,

Hi, I'm unable to utilize extlinux properly. I must be doing something wrong: Clear entire hdd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/devv/hda bs=1M Creating single active partition...: fdisk /dev/hda Formatting the partition...: mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1 Mount it: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd Install extlinux: extlinux -i /mnt/hd reboot machine and force it to boot from the hdd...

Hi, The examples for making a bootable usb key using extlinux just transfer a live cd to usb. To me, this misses the advantage of usb keys (other than size), that they are writable. I would like to have a full linux install on a usb key and be able to boot it using extlinux. This way I can install new packages and make other changes without jumping through squashfs hoops. Is there reason why

I have LVM volumes: /dev/disk1/main /dev/disk1/mainboot /dev/disk1/other /dev/disk1/otherboot I can boot main by using syslinux with syslinux.cfg including: LABEL main MENU LABEL Main LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID={UUID} {kernel parameters} INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img (1) I see a lot of places saying syslinux can't boot a kernel on another partition, and that you have

Hi: I've been seeing intermittent build failures with the extlinux target, and I believe I've tracked it down to a VPATH issue. See this make -d log: Finished prerequisites of target file `extlinux'. Prerequisite `extlinux.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite `setadv.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite

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

Hello, We are experiencing a strange behaviour on an embedded system (i386 PC board). The structure of our disk is the following one : - A 2GB fat16 partition with DOS and syslinux - A 100GB Ext4 partition with Extlinux an several linux images to boot on ram - A swap partition The system boot on syslinux to choose among Dos and Linux boot using chain. When Linux is chosen, syslinux chains to

Hi all : my /dev/sda2 is ext3 format filesystem, the os moblin is installed in /dev/sda2 which is root partition, the bootloader is grub, now i want to change the bootloader to extlinux, but i came across some trouble, so i did some steps as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-extlinux*.rpm 2. extlinux -i /boot/extlinux 3. i edit extlinux.conf , and put it in /boot/extlinux/, there is

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

Hello, Is it possible to install extlinux into a disk image, without being root ? It seems like extlinux --install absolutely requires the specific block device in which extlinux should be installed to be mounted. This prevents from doing an extlinux installation as non-root, which is annoying for build systems such as Buildroot [1] that build a complete Linux system from source, without being

hello, quick question about extlinux: I accidentally installed extlinux on the wrong partition (I run extlinux -i somewhere beofre mounting my usb key to somewhere). Now extlinux seems to be stuck in my main hd partition... how do I remove extlinux from the hard drive? I mean both the extlinux.sys file and the bits in the partition table... Could not find any info how to doit. Thanks. Paolo

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and
