Hi there, I failed to boot an installer in a VMware player (Version6.0.3 build-1895310) using syslinux 6.03, be it off an hybrid ISO image and an USB stick. Booting succeeds if the VM is set to use a BIOS firmware with both media, but fails using an efi firmware. Trying to boot off the ISO image I get an error message "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception" Trying to

Erwan, I'm using syslinux v3.85 Gene, the kernel was built using buildroot (and I checked that Xen support was enabled). Didn't try without the menu, will see that now. Also, I saw a short note on syslinux mboot wiki page: "A really good use case for this (using mboot.c32) is booting Xen <http://xensource.com>, or any other hypervisor-based virtualization pieces that also

Hello list, I tried to install Xen 3.1.0 on Scientific Linux (RHEL4), but this mission failed.. Hope you can help me by finding the reason for my problem. I downloaded the xen sources from http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/src.tgz/xen-3.1.0-src.tgz and compiled them by running "make" and "./install.sh". This seemed to work.

All, I'm having an issue with my menu.c32. I created a menu and it appears correctly, but once I get to my choice, it won't select it and begin the install. Below is my pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu.c32 timeout 600 display boot.msg menu title Welcome to the incNETWORKS RHEL5/6 PXEBOOT Server! menu color border 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color sel 7 #ffffffff #ff000000 menu color

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

Hi All, I have a system, that, ~80% of the time, fails to properly boot using pxelinux.0 as provided by RHEL 5.5 (syslinux 3.11, I think). The gripe, before the console messages stop, is a message that comes from the linux kernel complaining the compressed ram drive image is bad: "invalid compressed format (err=[small number])". I have two questions: 1. How should I go about

Hi, I have built a Red Hat 7.2 system kernel 2.4.7-10 using pxelinux from syslinux-2.09 I have then installed the latest Broadcom BCM5700 Linux Driver Version 7.1.22 as per the README.TXT:- rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.1.22-1.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec rpm -ivh --force RPMS/i386/bcm5700-7.1.22-1.i386.rpm The system reboots fine and is using the new driver I now want to update my

Hi all, I installed Xen 3.0.2 using Gentoo portage. The kernel boots ok to the console but when I try to login either as root or myself it won''t authenticate. I read some posts that mentioned not having a populated /dev directory but this is in place. It also contains a full range of tty* and has console in it. I''m at a loss for what to look for. The console login is ok

Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

Hello, I''ve got a problem to get a serial output on grub, xen, linux-xen0 and getty. The serial works fine with grub, xen and linux-xen0, but I''m unable to start a console, where I''m able to login. I dont''t get any output. If I change only the getty from ttyS0 to ttyS1 than I''m able to login.. At the attachment you can see what I see through a serial,

Hi, I am trying to boot syslinux with an SD-Card on COMe-mBTi10 board, it works perfect with syslinux 4-06(as BIOS supports booting from SD-CARD), but hangs with syslinux-6.03 during 'Loading vmlinuz ...

Hello List, I'm ironing out details to upgrade a few systems to CentOS7. My servers have BMC with Serial over LAN support. In C5 and C6, I determined how to have BIOS/POST, kernel, and serial console access. I'm reading up on the method to accomplish the pieces with C7. Presently SoL output works, so I see BIOS/POST messages and the GRUB boot list. My changes to enable serial

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like
