Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle

hi, i am wondering about how submission of append parameters can be done. i have the following isolinux.cfg: --------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFAULT linux PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.gz nomce quiet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- what i want to do is to tell at

I'm considering the suggestion which was raised before about turning the debugging messages on by default in isolinux, or specifically, not building the non-debugging-messages version in the standard distribution. What do people think (especially distro maintainers?) -hpa

I would like to have two compressed ext2 filesystems on my CF card, one for the root fs and the other smaller one to be mounted at /opt/XXX where I can compress what is in ram after modification and write it back to disk at regular intervals of time. can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks

Greetings, As a Google Summer of Code student for the SYSLINUX project, I had the chance to learn many interesting things from hpa regarding the internals of SYSLINUX. So besides my main task of implementing ELF modules loading & linking, I decided to put down in the wiki all the information I found concerning SYSLINUX development. In this regard, I have created a special category on the

Hello, I'm thinking of using sysliux as the basis for a TCG OPAL Pre-Boot Authorization program (COM32 module). I can add AHCI and SATA support in a COM32 module to implement IDENTIFY, iF-SEND and IF-RECV, but my understanding of syslinux falls short in several areas. I have a few questions that I would like to ask: com32 modules in UEFI 64bit mode: The AHCI and SATA memory layouts have a

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)). Since booting off an USB device is not an universal thing I would prefer to have a boot disk with a minimal system - just enough to load most (all?) of the system from the attached USB device. Is this an

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with
