similar to: Multiboot flash from 2 iso's

Hi everyone, For your information, geexbox (http://geexbox.org) is now able to play OGG Theora files. Happy new year -- ZikZak

Sorry if this is a total noob question... I've searched the archives and haven't turned up much. Not turning up much on the web in general, either. I'm working on a project and I'd like to create a Linux bootable ISO disc with an extra chunk of data **outside** the ISO space. This chunk of data might be a 10MB tar/zip. The goal would be to boot into Linux in RAM off the disc

Hi there guys! I want to set up Puppy-Linux to run off a 2GB USB key-drive in native mode (I.e. not as a virtual machine, which I'm finding runs too slow on my system, under XP.) To test it out, I want to run off a 150GB USB HDD. Now this drive is NTFS formatted and way bigger than the 1GB file structure limit that I read about in the Syslinux documentation. There's only one

hello there , i need sum serious help so... _/-\o_ i have a problem which is driving me crazy with my network, i have been trying to find help on the net for weeks now, but couldn't find any helpful sites relating to my problem so i thought i'd try posting it on here. I tried to include all the information i have but i'm a linux n00b sort of... anyways i have a network with three

I have some concerns about the Syslinux boot process, which I'm now investigating in connection with my work on booting Live-CD images from USB flashdrives. Some of these are related to what seems to be inadequate documentation, but I think that there are also aspects of Syslinux operation which could be fairly easily improved. quoting from the official documentation: Since version 5.00,

Hi. I have had success with a fat32 syslinux partion (/dev/sdc1) booting up Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 Live CD (renaming isolinux to syslinux, and isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg). Problem to solve; Since some distros expect files/folders in their 'root' location, some 'Append' path locations are unchangeable. For example, Ubuntu works great in the 'root' directory, but if you try

Hello all, I have a few questions about the menuing system that I haven't been able to find in the archives (it would be nice if they were available in a searchable form other than having to click on a month-by month basis and read through them - if they are searchable I would love to find a way to do this but it hasn't jumped out at me). My first question is : What is menu.c32? I

This is a quick recovery and fix for the machines rendered unbootable after the grub2/shim yum update. It is written for CentOS 8.2.2004 but similar should work for any CentOS 8 or 7 as long as you get the correct shim file, that is, the one from the latest installation media. I am running on an x86_64 architecture (see uname -i). Please use the correct shim file for your architecture

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items. Is there a limit to how many items can be on the simple menu? default pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE UWSP PXE Boot Menu # TIMEOUT 200 LABEL bartpe MENU LABEL Build 12 KERNEL /STARTROM.0 APPEND keeppxe LABEL 11dnet MENU LABEL Build 11DNET beta

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

I used to use multiple syslinux floppy images to implement what I call CD-ROM-multiboot (EL Torito supports up to 64 bootable images, Award BIOS 8 images, if not wrey old). Now that floppies are getting too small, I find that I must find a workaround for hard coded isolinux directory name in isolinux. Not a big deal, but there might be also others who would like to have multiboot feature. --

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

From: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> If a loaded kernel is in ELF format and contains a multiboot header indicating valid relocation information, prefer the informations from the ELF header. This is in violation of the Multiboot spec, but it's the way GRUB does things and Solaris kernels rely on this behaviour. Signed-of-by: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> --- diff

Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a

Hallo, I am currently installing XEN on an ARM64 EFI machine. (Debian Testing), Therefore, I installed the following packages: __________________________________________________________________ root at armbox:/etc# dpkg -l "xen*" | awk '/^ii/ {print $2 "\t\t" $3}' xen-hypervisor-4.6-arm64 4.6.0-1+nmu2 xenstore-utils 4.6.0-1+nmu2 root at

I recently got a cheap PenDrive iVO which I'll be the first to admit is anything but perfect, but, a pretty decent player considering it's cost is that of the other players with half the memory. One of the things I was looking forward to was having a great bootable flashdrive with my favorite linux rescue image and a few other diagnostic/repair things. Unfortunately, since I tried to put

Hi Ian, can we push multiboot v2 support for Xen/ARM still into 4.3? It looks like it can coexists with zImage in the same binary - the multiboot structure can be put just behind the zImage header and the code can determine how it has been started: zImage bootloaders clears r0, multiboot one''s would set r0 to the MB magic. I will sketch a patch tomorrow, just wondering if we can have

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram
