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

Hmm, yes. The series is available at https://github.com/wferi/syslinux as well (lua52 branch, based on upstream

Hi, How does MENU SAVE interact with /boot on RAID-1? Doesn't it introduce a hidden inconsistency, which may resolve in unexpected ways? (Like mentioned in extlinux.txt at boot-once support.) -- Thanks, Feri.

Hi, This is my current patch queue. The patches are independent, AFAIK, so feel free to cherry-pick or reject them independently. The bottom one was needed for a successful build here; the top one contains all the modifications you requested on IRC, and more. Meanwhile I hit one of the four stray TABs in tftpd.c, and decided to get rid of them. Comments welcome. --- Ferenc Wagner (5):

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.

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

Thanks all, I did find extlinux in "my syslinux tarball" (I think that I understand my confusion now - I will explain at the end). So, now almost everything is fine...... Clearly my extlinux.conf is working (I can see my output on the console (SAY XXX)) I have a bzImage + rootfs.tar I tried : 0) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/MyMountForSda1 -->> success 1) cd /mnt/MyMountForSda1

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

Hi, I'm working on https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/OSTree which is a general-purpose update system for Linux-based operating systems. It isn't a package system itself, but operates at the same level. A primary goal of OSTree is fully atomic updates, and the "swapped chroots" model works well for most of userspace and the kernel/initramfs. However, syslinux relies on
