Hi, I'm experiencing a strange problem, my extlinux is no longer bootable, and I'm wondering how to troubleshoot the problem for a fix. It's not just an one-off thing, but is happening to me all the time -- I use extlinux to boot up all my linux, and it has always been working for me, for at least 10+ years. However recently I started to duplicate my linux system from partition to

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

Hi , I ve tested the pclinux minime on usb 1Gb and later 8Gb, with fat32 and syslinux boot , works splendid in Ram , and persistant saves on stick.. Now i want to try extlinux-boot with ext2 or 3 on the usb. With ext3 , i get constantly bumped to commandline, where i could type in the vmlinuz and initrd paths , but it cant make the loop-file of minime work..so it gets little panic :* But it wont

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

Thank you for the quick response. > Strange way to do this, as libguestfs can do all this. Sorry to ask this (I'm a newly graduated engineer and I new to the virtualization world), but how can libguestfs do all of the above?, do you mean it can create all the partitions inside a new lvm volume or a new raw image?? > Did you copy the syslinux.cfg file into the guest?

Hi, I'm trying to get to the bottom of a problem using the combination of tboot (http://tboot.sf.net, trusted boot kernel for Intel TXT) and extlinux. TBOOT loads using the multiboot protocol, where the tboot "kernel" is loaded as the kernel, and the actual linux kernel and initrd are specified as modules. A working grub configuration looks something like:

Hi Folks, OK - I'm not entirely new to Linux but I'm certainly not great on the boot process. What I'm trying to achieve is to boot from an external USB HDD (not flash drive) using EXTLINUX. I've run an installation against the disk using a VM. The disk was partitioned as follows: /dev/sda1 = /boot (bootable) /dev/sda2 =/swap /dev/sda3=/ (i.e. root) /dev/sda4=/dos sda1 and 3

Hi everyone, I'm working with libguestfs 1.30.3 on Centos 7 host.

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 installed Debian in a pendrive and I used extlinux. I need a boot for multiples machines. When I use the config file below, my pendrive works fine: DEFAULT linux LABEL linux KERNEL ../vmlinuz APPEND ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd=../initrd But I need a boot for any machine. Then, I tried it: APPEND ro initrd=../initrd but the boot stops after discover the correct location of the root

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

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

Sorry I wasn't clear. Fedora 19 was installed on a / and /boot partition. I then installed Fedora 21 on a separate /

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.

Hello List Members, I have a machine that has used extlinux to boot for many years, but the hard disk needs to be replaced. I got a new hard disk and installed it in my system. The old disk is /dev/sda, and the new one is /dev/sdb. I'm using GPT partitioning, and I did (after a day) finally get the legacy bootable flag set on /dev/sdb for the boot partition /dev/sda1. I then formatted out

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

I am a relative newcomer to using extlinux. I am running Fedora 20 which means I am using syslinux 4.05. When I noticied that all of your documentation said that booting off ext234 and btrfs was supported, I gave it a try. Indeed, this does work with the boot files and the extlinux directory installed into the btrfs (root) volume. Has any thought been given to supporting supporting

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
