Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

Hi I understand you (mostly). 0) How do i "install the MBR code as well and to activate your partition." 1) "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" -->> successfully completed. 2) "mkdir /mnt/extlinux" -->> successfully completed. 3) "extlinux --install /mnt/extlinux" -->> does not work. Funny, but it it seems that there is no such thing as

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

In my usb drive with EXT3 filesystem in /dev/sda1 partition, syslinux uses the first sector on /dev/sda1 but EXT3 filesystem doesn't?

Exit the menu with ESC and invoke the label at the boot: prompt. -- Feri.

Hi, I hit a rather strange problem. I'm PXE booting an IBM Blade. It has a BMC which provides serial over LAN via the BladeCenter management module. Its BIOS has a "Console Redirection" option, which dumps its VGA console messages to a serial port. "Redirection after Boot" is disabled, but pxelinux runs "before boot", so everything arrives twice on the serial

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

Hi, Try running menu.c32 from Syslinux 4.06 under qemu -vga none without disabling console output, for example: SERIAL 0 SAY ls menu LABEL ls COM32 ls.c32 LABEL menu COM32 menu.c32 This invocation works well: $ qemu -hda extlinux.img -serial stdio But this fails after invoking "menu": $ qemu -hda extlinux.img -serial stdio -vga none Syslinux 5.xx and 6.xx does not exhibit this

Hi! It's funny, but I was unable to find an answer to my question. I am building an embedded system (x86). I want to install syslinux on a fresh system. So, I am booting from a USB LINUX CD (Ubuntu 12.04 in this case). 1) I must have an ext2 partition (This is my application). 2) I understand that I must have a FAT partition (to install syslinux). Correct ? So, basically I understand that

In order to create a paravirtualized guest/DomU, should i use the same distro as the host/dom0 is?
