similar to: [help] Use syslinux but can not boot from USB key

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

Hi, i did not succeed to get my test computer (Asus A7V8X-X of 2004) to boot from an isohybrid image. I tried http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/RIPLinux-7.0-non-X.iso which is obviously isohybrid enabled. The system has a "Promise Ultra 133 TX2" IDE controller which supercedes the mainboard BIOS. To make the system react on the USB stick i set boot option

Previously these were rather small - just 500 MB. This is too small to create a btrfs device on aarch64 (where page size may be 64K), and barely enough even on x86-64. This change makes both these devices 10 GB, and adjusts a few tests so they continue to pass. --- docs/guestfs-hacking.pod | 4 ++-- generator/actions.ml | 17 +++++++++++------ tests/c-api/tests-main.c | 6 +++--- 3 files

OK, one other tidbit: The EFI BIOS has a UUID in its boot options. I expect that this identifies the old system disk, but I don't know where that UUID comes from. It is NOT the VFAT UUID for the EFI partition and is not any of the UUIDs for any of the Linux file systems or RAID arrays, or really anything else I can find under Linux. I'm guessing it is something the EFI BIOS has

I have a 1.5TB internal disk on my server. I partitioned this with fdisk, and CentOS-5.6 runs perfectly on it. But fdisk gives a very strange report. Here is the perfectly normal response to mount: ----------------------------- /dev/sdb10 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext3

Greetings - The short story is that got my new install completed with the partitioning I wanted and using software raid, but after a reboot I ended up with a grub prompt, and do not appear to have a grub.cfg file. So here is a little history of how I got here, because I know in order for anyone to help me they would subsequently ask for this information. So this post is a little long, but

A friend bring and Ipod, initially it didn't start because of charge, so I connected to my PC to give some charge, after that my linux didn't mount it, and when I start the iPod it shows me a folder with a sign, and that's all, nothing else matters. when I connected the iPod to the PC it start to charge and suddenly stops and shows the folder I have talked before I run the command

I installed a fresh copy of Debian 4.0 and Xen 3.1.0 SMP PAE from the binaries. I had a few issues getting fully virtualized guests up and running, but finally managed to figure everything out. Now I''m having a problem with paravirtualized guests and hoping that someone can help. My domU config: # # Configuration file for the Xen instance dev.umucaoki.org, created # by xen-tools

Hi all. I am new to the list. I am trying to make a SD flash bootable. I have a MSI Wind netbook running Fedora 9 with a built-in card reader that detects the SD flash properly. However, when I run syslinux, it does not update the boot block. I also tried using a SD -> USB adapter, but I get the same behavior. Fedora 9 uses an older syslinux 3.61, but I also tried the latest 3.72 with

Hi. I added a disk to a hardware raid 5 array and now i want to expand the LVM physical volume. There are now 4 sas 146GB disks in the server. The virtual disk /dev/sdb from the raid controller has been resized successfully with the server management software osma. [root at srv1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53309 cylinders

Ok, I give up... I have to ask. This is CentOS 5. I switched one of my raid1 disks, and I already thought I had succeeded. But now it seems that something is very wrong with the first partition on the new disk. Luckily my system is fully bootable with the other disk. Here's some info. The new disk is sdb. // I removed all partitions with parted, and created the first one again. // parted

I got the following error, but there''s no "cycle" I commented out File["/dev/sdb3"] and it works, but of course would choke if I ran it and the requirement were not met err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found cycles in the following relationships: File[/dev/sdb1] => Exec[echo -e "0,290\n,290\n," | sfdisk /dev/sdb] Here''s the node: node
