I have Windows 7 on /dev/sda and CentOS 6.4 on /dev/sdb. Here are the layouts: (parted) select /dev/sda Using /dev/sda (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00Z (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 374MB 373MB primary ntfs boot

doing that grub-install /dev/sda will give me the "corresponding BIOS device" error. But now I fixed it by doing a manual grub install. first boot with cd1 and type linux rescue at the prompt when you're at the linux prompt after detecting and mounting the partitions, do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" then # grub --batch #grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs,

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Hi, Can we for syslinux 4.05 look to improve the LUA scripting functionality ? Functionality we are looking for is: - accessing filesystem (ext2, fat) - alternatively, access network services (tftp, ftp, http) - creating menu's from LUA - alternatively, generating and reloading syslinux.cfg The use-case would be to create a lua-script that, on boot, can scan eg. a

Hi, I couldn't find any definitive answers from the documentation. Although older posts on this list were negative, it was supposedly not very difficult to implement and considered for syslinyx 4. So does multi serial support now work in syslinux 4 today ? If not, what does syslinux do if more than one serial directive is used in the configuration ? Use the last one listed ? Thanks in

Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

Hi, As a packager of syslinux, I would like to get rid of the dependency of syslinux on Crypt::PasswdMD5, as it does not ship with RHEL/CentOS by default and therefor is an additional hurdle for people on those distributions to use a more recent syslinux. (I am also involved with the Rear project that relies on a more recent syslinux, and in various corporate environments need a recent

Hi, When I perform a software RAID 1 or RAID 5 installation on a LAN server with several hard disks, I wonder if GRUB already gets installed on each individual MBR, or if I have to do that manually. On CentOS 5.x and 6.x, this had to be done like this: # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd1,0) grub>

Hi all! Doing some tests with CentOS 5.5 on a KVM virtual machine, after doing the installation, I added a second disk. But when trying to boot from it, I get the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------- root (hd1,0) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist --------------------------------------------------------------------- The two disks are

Greetings, I encounter a problem that should be basic, but I can't get a clue. I have 8G USB disk formatted as FAT32. I run (syslinux -i -s -r -m H:) to make it bootable, and write syslinux.cfg according to the documents, but it will not boot some items. Syslinux is 6.03, bios files used. The whole syslinux.cfg file:

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not
