Hi Folks, When I boot ISOLinux, the locally attached disk is visible but the PATA 40 Gig in a USB attached enclosure is not. The locally attached disk has no bearing on what I am doing and to avoid confusion will not be mentioned again. Everything is happening on the 40 Gig. Let me explain. The goal is: Copy an installation iso to the disk, boot the disk and install it on that disk. I have

Hi Folks, I'm interested in "headless" installation. If I use GRUB, then I provide arguments to the kernel of things like "headless vnc vncpassword=whoopie ip=dhcp" GRUB passes this on to ISOLinux, which manages the CD and subsequently the installation. Shouldn't I be able to do exactly the same thing with EXTLinux? I ask, because, as you might suspect, I

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

Hi , I ve tested the pclinux minime on usb 1Gb and later 8Gb, with fat32 and syslinux boot , works splendid in Ram , and persistant saves on stick.. Now i want to try extlinux-boot with ext2 or 3 on the usb. With ext3 , i get constantly bumped to commandline, where i could type in the vmlinuz and initrd paths , but it cant make the loop-file of minime work..so it gets little panic :* But it wont

Hi, The examples for making a bootable usb key using extlinux just transfer a live cd to usb. To me, this misses the advantage of usb keys (other than size), that they are writable. I would like to have a full linux install on a usb key and be able to boot it using extlinux. This way I can install new packages and make other changes without jumping through squashfs hoops. Is there reason why

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. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

I just tried to boot extlinux off of /dev/sdb and use the option localboot 0x80. I was hoping to see syslinux for the second time as the system loaded the master boot rec from /dev/sda. Why is this option only in pxelinux and isolinux? Nicholas A. Schembri State College PA USA

I'm trying to fit a multinominal logistic model using package mlogit. I have 15 independent variables. The code looks like this: m<-mlogit(score~0|f1+f2+f3+f4+f5+f6+f7+f8+f9+f10+f11+f12+f13+f14+f15, data, reflevel="1") And it gives the following error message: Error in parse(text = x) : unexpected ')' in "score ~ 0 + alt:(f1 + f2 + f3 + f4 + f5 + f6 + f7 + f8 + f9

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange problem, my extlinux is no longer bootable, and I'm wondering how to troubleshoot the problem for a fix. It's not just an one-off thing, but is happening to me all the time -- I use extlinux to boot up all my linux, and it has always been working for me, for at least 10+ years. However recently I started to duplicate my linux system from partition to

Hello, I am working on a remote upgrade that will utilize a squashfs to boot off the hard drive. I have everything worked out and functioning, except I see installing extlinux as an unecesarry step. The only thing I use the command for is to install the ldlinux.sys file to the /boot/extlinux/ folder. The rest of it is just a file copy. What manual step can I take to avoid the installation of

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

I'm having a problem with extlinux booting to a Linux kernel image and initial ramdisk with a symbolic link. My /boot looks like this: extlinux.conf extlinux.sys initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.22.1 initrd.img-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 The relevant section of my extlinux.conf file is this: label 1 kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/initrd.img The error

Hello, First of all, thanks very much for this piece of software, it's working like a charm. I'm using it to boot a Linux distro I'm working on. What I want to deal with is the display of accented characters in ISOLINUX. First, I set EXTLINUX up to boot an ext2-formatted USB stick. No problem so far. I wrote a config file ordering to load a font (lat-9w) to display french

Hello list, I'm trying to reuse a fairly old PC based embedded system. It has no video output at all, no VGA, nothing older, and no keyboard / mouse connectors. The console is on a standard RS232 interface, including BIOS output and the minimal BIOS loader. The BIOS emulates / redirects text output to and keyboard input from the console RS232 interface, but unfortunately, this emulation

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

Sorry I wasn't clear. Fedora 19 was installed on a / and /boot partition. I then installed Fedora 21 on a separate /

Hi everyone, I'm working with libguestfs 1.30.3 on Centos 7 host.

Hi, I hope somebody can help me with this problem. I don't know whether it's a problem with my configuration or a bug or feature in extlinux. I am using an IPMI 2.0 serial-over-lan console to connect to a system with an Intel S3200SHL motherboard. The first line of my extlinux.conf file looks like this: serial 0 57600 0x003 I am using ipmitool to access the console, like so:

Hello List Members, I have a machine that has used extlinux to boot for many years, but the hard disk needs to be replaced. I got a new hard disk and installed it in my system. The old disk is /dev/sda, and the new one is /dev/sdb. I'm using GPT partitioning, and I did (after a day) finally get the legacy bootable flag set on /dev/sdb for the boot partition /dev/sda1. I then formatted out

Thank you for the quick response. > Strange way to do this, as libguestfs can do all this. Sorry to ask this (I'm a newly graduated engineer and I new to the virtualization world), but how can libguestfs do all of the above?, do you mean it can create all the partitions inside a new lvm volume or a new raw image?? > Did you copy the syslinux.cfg file into the guest?
