Hello List, I have been told to get linux running on two HP DL360G4p machines (ancient rackmount xeon stuff). Unfortunately, while isolinux boots fine from CDROM, and extlinux can boot a USB stick, I cannot get extlinux to boot from the CCISS hard disks (two disks in hardware raid 1 configuration). I searched on google a lot, and found (very old, many years ago) messages saying these

Thanks to debugging information from Thomas Mieslinger, I have root-caused the failure of chain.c32 in Syslinux 3.85. I have put out Syslinux 3.86-pre1 and Syslinux 4.00-pre33 which fix the problem. I expect to release a Syslinux 3.86 relatively shortly (ideally in the next two weeks), with bug fixes only. I would like to figure out if there are other bug fixes we can get in in reasonable time,

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

Hi, I'm trying to build extlinux statically, but no matter what CFLAGS or OPTFLAGS I set in the Makefiles I get bios/extlinux/extlinux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=ef970f59a48b226b2397b73a56e02a73b79c5f0a, not stripped I have tried adding OPTFLAGS= -static to the extlinux/Makefile as well as

Hello, We are experiencing a strange behaviour on an embedded system (i386 PC board). The structure of our disk is the following one : - A 2GB fat16 partition with DOS and syslinux - A 100GB Ext4 partition with Extlinux an several linux images to boot on ram - A swap partition The system boot on syslinux to choose among Dos and Linux boot using chain. When Linux is chosen, syslinux chains to

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: I've been seeing intermittent build failures with the extlinux target, and I believe I've tracked it down to a VPATH issue. See this make -d log: Finished prerequisites of target file `extlinux'. Prerequisite `extlinux.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite `setadv.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite

hello, quick question about extlinux: I accidentally installed extlinux on the wrong partition (I run extlinux -i somewhere beofre mounting my usb key to somewhere). Now extlinux seems to be stuck in my main hd partition... how do I remove extlinux from the hard drive? I mean both the extlinux.sys file and the bits in the partition table... Could not find any info how to doit. Thanks. Paolo

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

Due to delayed allocation feature on XFS filesystems, a write is not guaranteed to flushed out to the underlying file system after crash or something else - so we need to make sure that ldlinux.sys is installed correctly in the mounted filesystem.

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

Hi all: my filesystem is btrfs. /boot and / is on the same partition(/dev/sda2, format btrfs). i install syslinux as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-extlinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-tftpboot-4.00-1.i386.rpm 2. extlinux-i /boot/extlinux. (the extlinux.sys can't be create on the directory). 3. i copy extlinux.conf to /boot/extlinux . (of course

Hello, I noticed the following behavior of extlinux 4.05: I created an ext3 filesystem on the first (primary and active) partition of a usb stick. I mounted it at /mnt/. Then I copied to /mnt/ldlinux.sys the ldlinux.sys found in the syslinux 4.05 archive and I created a basic /mnt/extlinux.cfg. Then I ran "extlinux -i /mnt/" and rebooted on the usb stick. I got "ERROR: No

Hello, Is it possible to install extlinux into a disk image, without being root ? It seems like extlinux --install absolutely requires the specific block device in which extlinux should be installed to be mounted. This prevents from doing an extlinux installation as non-root, which is annoying for build systems such as Buildroot [1] that build a complete Linux system from source, without being
