It appears that the 3.74 completely broke the "keeppxe" directive -- not due to the command-line parser, but due to mishandling of the flag later. I consider this to be severe enough to do a short-cycle 3.75. As a result, I would like help with: a) are there any other bugs that snuck through? b) once I have a 3.75-pre1, I would really appreciate help testing it. The goal is to have

Tested floppy boot on two machines (one PII 350, one 486DX4) Floppy boot with syslinux is very very slow, more than 18 mn to boot a linux kernel from floppy on the 2 machines. Tested with 3 different disquettes that were know to work, boot is reached after this very long time. Noise from floppy head make think floppy wait approximatly one minute between each read. No problem with pxe boot with

Hello, are there known issues with some bioses not booting from Superfloppy format? All I get is the Syslinux (c) line and nothing else happens afterwords. Everything works fine if a partition is added to the device. Unfortunately however the target device can not be partitioned. Any hint?

Hi all, I'm a french user (please excuse me my bad english) and i wanted to know what are Extlinux dependencies ? As grub, does extlinux depend on ncurses library ? Thanks, Nick

Hello, seems like the new default ext2/ext3 256 bytes inode size problem applies to extlinux. HPA, could you confirm it? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491076 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) "Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for

Hello syslinux, I'm a newbie to extlinux, and I'm a developer from yocto project (an embedded linux project). The device or filesystem must be mounted before we can install the bootsector to the device if I understand correctly, for example: $ mount /dev/sdcX /tmp/mnt $ extlinux -i /tmp/mnt Usually, the mount command requires the root privilage, we may not have the root privilage when

I have put a compile hack in for older distros and pushed it out as syslinux-3.62-pre16; for those who have reported compilation problem on older distros I would greatly appreciate if you could confirm if it works now (it worked for me on a CentOS 3.9 VM.) -hpa

Hello. I've been testing pxelinux.0 (4.04-pre14) on some laptops: - HP EliteBook 6930P with BIOS F.18. - HP EliteBook 8440P with BIOS F.06. - Dell Latitude E4310 with BIOS A06. When booting pxelinux.0, the machines first display some random letters in different colors and then reboot. We've been using 4.02 for some time without problems. I've tested 4.03 too and it seems to work.

Is this even a possibility? Both my brother and I have PPC G3 Mac's that we would like to install Linux on. I have downloaded a couple of Debian ISOs and a couple of Gentoo ISOs. All four would easily fit on a single CD. So, my question/problem is, is it possible to configure a menu to chose between them, that will boot up on a Mac PPC? Thanks, Lonnie -- Later, Lonnie Mostly Debian,

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 all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD.
