similar to: Linux kernel + initrd in one file

Hello list, I had to boot a Dell Diagnostic Disk today, and tried doing this via memdisk - which was when I noticed memdisk isn't working for me at all, neither from pxelinux nor syslinux. After trying around with 'raw', 'bigraw' and the like I noticed it doesn't even do anything when just using: LABEL diag KERNEL memdisk .. when I try that: boot: diag nothing

Hello, Has anyone thought about how one could use the "keeppxe" option with a vmlinuz/initrd? It would allow one to boot this combination, and if possible the linux kernel/initrd (assuming we have busybox in there) would not have to run udhcp and instead leverage what pxe stack information is loaded. The problem is I don't know of any PXE/UNDI linux utilities to look at the pxe

Hello all, I understand that during PXE boot, it goes into the pxelinux.cfg and it states: 1. "it will search for the config file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B (you can use the included progam "gethostip" to compute the hexadecimal IP address for any host.) If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try

I have gotten a couple of probes about NTFS support for Syslinux, and I would like to gauge how serious it is. I'm considering using it as a pilot project for writing Syslinux filesystem modules in C. However, an installer, or more realistically two (one for Win32, one for Linux) have to be written, so it's still a real time commitment. -hpa

Is it possible to specify the root device in extlinux.conf by an ext2 label or uuid? How difficult is it to add this support if it is not there? I am in a situation where this is needed and my fstab is configured appropriately, but extlinux.conf still needs to be manually updated when the root drive changes to a different scsi device (due to the number of drives on the bus and the order of the

Hello, I was browsing the code for memdisk (I want to adjust it to my hardware) and noticed a couple of things that I am struggling to understand. I would appreciate if someone could clarify the following mysteries to me: 1) _binary_memdisk_bin_start[], _binary_memdisk_bin_end[] and _binary_memdisk_bin_size[]; These variables are declared (as extern const chat in 'setup.c')

Axel and everyone Your questions are valid. I had similar question when I bought these cards. These cards in particular have no rom chip on the pci card. If you plug these into a computer they do nothing until you load them with there firmware. When vt6410 are used on motherboards not as stand alone cards the bios has this firmware and loads it into the chip set on boot making them show up

Hi, I looked through the documentation and the mailing list archives but could not yet find out whether this could be made to work. The task I want to use that feature for is being able to collect firmware updates for servers and their components and boot those updates from a notebook with DHCP/TFTP-Server. That would greatly reduce setup time for new server installations. The problem is that

Please, I have a 2GB computer and a huge time-series to embedd, and i tried increasing memory.limit() and memory.size(max=TRUE), but nothing. Just before the command: > memory.size(max=TRUE) [1] 13.4375 > memory.limit() [1] 1535.875 > gc() used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb) Ncells 209552 5.6 407500 10.9 350000 9.4 Vcells 125966 1.0 786432 6.0 496686 3.8

Hello, I've encountered two serious issues that have stopped me in my tracks, and I would be most grateful to anyone who can provide some answers. I am using the examples provided on the page "Testing the Embeddable R Library". I am writing a C application, that I want to embedd R into (I'm not interested in embedding my application in R, that's not an option). I'm

hi guys Ive got the videos from Paris Dojo now processed up and ready to go - the plan is to get them into the CentOSProject youtube channel. however, i was wondering if there is a way to embedd the video into the wiki pages as well. We can then have the videos for all the sessions ( or the ones we managed to record proper ) ready to view right in place that also means we end up promoting the

hi list, is it possible with samba v3 and ldap backend to embedd a normal group like "normalgroup" in the group "Domain Administrators" to give members of the group "normalgroup" full administrative rights on workstations? i tried with "net groupmap addmem sid-of-normalgroup sid-of-domain-admins" and "net groupmap addmem sid-of-domain-admins

Hi , One of the things I am working on requires me to have a kernel and an initrd (as root filesystem , based on busybox) in one single image. I am trying to use initramfs for this, but there are a few things that I just can't figure out. As a test, I made a cpio archive of my own for the kernel source (plain 2.6.0-test5). Everything gets unpacked just fine during boot. Somehow I was

Dear Sirs, This must have been asked before but I don't find and FAQ around dealing with the issue. We are building small devices that connects to Internet (www.ipio.nu). The next generation of this we want to base on AVR32 and run a small slimmed version of Linux. We have som program on this device that we want to connect to servers out on Internet. SSL seems to be "quite heavy"

Hi All, Anybody know how to make R emit base64 encoded text in some way that perl can grab it, instead of planting a file on your harddrive when calling JPEG or PNG? I've managed to get these scripts to work and put a file on the harddisk #!/usr/bin/perl -Wall # by jin kee. a simple script to demonstrate # the needed steps to get R to emit a jpeg. use strict; my($callR, $callRold); # need

That explains why there is so little information on ldb and sqlite. From my pov sqlite just seemed interesting, as it has a well known syntax and the ability to embedd a transparent logic layer. As there is no effort to use sqlite (or sql) in the future , I just burried that path. As for compability I would strongly suggest to stay where Microsoft left off, before killing the "UNIX

Hi, I have an issue embedding a flash movie into one of my rails views. /movies/index.rhtml embeds /resources/movies/episode1.swf and episode1.flv e.g index.rhtml includes: <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="320"

Hi, I am a newbie into kernel booting process. I have read few things about boot process of the linux kernel. I am stuck at few things, which I am confident, someone from the list might help on - - If I pass a ramfs image as an intrd paramter from the bootloader (say grub), then will the kernel treat this as a ramfs image only? - initrd image is also, packed using cpio archive, then
