similar to: ISOs + memdisk take long time

Hello CentOS users, in the recent time I keep getting the logwatch warnings from my 2 dedicated servers running CentOS 7.4.1708. I guess because of the numerous kernel updates (because of Spectre+Meltdown) in the near past? Could someone please suggest me, which files in my /boot partition would be safe to delete? I would like to avoid the situation of having to boot the rescue partiton etc.

Hi all, My computer is booted with UEFI and Grub2. I tried to load VHD files with memdisk and boot from there. memdisk is extracted from 'bios/memdisk' in syslinux 6.03 zip file. In Grub2, I executed: linux16 /memdisk harddisk initrd16 /Win10.vhd Then the system frozen at 'initrd16' line. The VHD file is 8192MB, fixed image. I also tried to boot a small floppy disk (FreeDOS), and

I would like to see that it is possible to specify which config file should be loaded. I would like to have an extension of the CONFIG command. Normally CONFIG loads the file that is specified after it. It should be nice if syslinux/isolinux/pxelinux/extlinux can choose which config file to load, based on the bootloader from which the current config is runned. If I will explain it with an

I've been trying to use memdisk with grub2 to boot some iso images -( I've done this without any problem with pxe ) There is a memdisk.mod in /boot/grub/ and I've seen some material talking about this, but no example of a menu. After trying countless permutations - Right now I have : menuentry "Memtest-Plus 4.2" { echo `hello` insmod lvm

Hello, I'm having a problem booting a compressed ISO image using memdisk via grub2 (version 2.02). The entry in my grub.cfg looks like: menuentry 'boot ISO image' { linux16 /memdisk iso initrd16 /my-image.iso.gz } When selected, this starts to boot and then fails with: Ramdisk at 0x37979000, length 0x0033b298 gzip image: decompressed addr 0x7f7f7000, len

Hello, I'm trying to boot a dos floppy stored on a disk image which is initially loaded over pxe using memdisk. I've created the disk image as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME bs=$(( 1024 * 1024 )) count=20 LOOPDEV=$(losetup --show -f $IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME) MAJOR_MINOR=$(ls -l $LOOPDEV|awk '{print $5$6}'|sed 's/,/:/') DMSIZE=$(( $(ls -l

Haven't yet had a need for 10MB FDD images. The biggest I had to create was 5MB (5760kb). At that time I had to use WinImage to create the FDD image and it took me a while to figure out the correct settings. My notes state: "I'm getting 'missing FAT' errors in WinImage, and 7-zip complains about 'unexpected end'. The fix is to increasing the FDD Heads from 2 to 4 and

Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

I just wants to thank the developers (s) of syslinux , and eventually the construction of your well explained HOWTO I am rather a newbie in informatics , but after several months (!) of efforts, training at learning and experimenting with the terminal & command line writing, I finally got succeful at creating a partedmagic live USB. the last step was rather creepy: I thought I had at last

In other words: I'm suggesting to use WinImage as it also allows easy injection of new files *and* updating of already existing files. May I ask which vendor is distributing a DOS FW update that is 20MB? I'd like to see the files. Sometimes you just need the .bin/.rom and the actual FW update EXE and it would fit a 5MB FDD image.

I've just tried 4.07 and that has the same results. I should note that I appear to be in error about things working OK with menu.c32 as opposed to vesamenu.c32 - I do indeed see the menu (which with vesamenu.c32 it does not get that far), but when I attempt to choose the Windows Deployment Services option, it hangs.

Well, finaly I have something pretty usable working. Actually it only works if you have installed .Net 2.0 but I'll try to fix this and add a Linux and OS X version. Try it and give me some feedback :P http://www.alu.ua.es/j/jma27/VideoChat.rar -- http://www.apple.com A veces me da por ahi.

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where if I use vesamenu.c32 with PXELINUX 6.03 when network booting a virtual machine hosted on VMware ESXi 6.0, it hangs (the version message is printed and then nothing - the VM has to be powered off and back on again). This happens no matter if I choose the E1000 network interface or the VMXNET3 network interface when creating the VM. The same problem

I'm a Linux newbie. I have Hardwood Solitaire installed with Ubuntu 10.4 and wine 1.2-rc7. The file is a .exe and it starts to open and stops saying it has a serious error and needs to close.
