The big picture is I'm wanting to boot centos 7 and install kvm. So far I've created on this new laptop a big, empty partition; in the BIOS enabled legacy booting and disabled UEFI; also in BIOS under Legacy Boot Order set "USB diskette on key/USB hard disk" on second priority. I've tried to boot from a usb thumbdrive three times and it failed all three times. I'm

I have a bootable usb thumbdrive now... three partions, msdos for syslinux booting, ext3 and swap. How can I grab my QEMU installed centos 4 image and put it on the ext3 /dev/sdc2 partition on my thumbdrive? THanks, Jerry

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it. I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to

I will really hate myself if this has already been solved, i searched the archives but didn't really find anything pertaining to it. I have a 2.88mb dos boot floppy image, with ghost.exe, dos nic drivers, and dos system files. It works fine when burnt to a cd. As for the thumbdrive when trying to configure this hpghost.ima file to run from my syslinux.cfg menu, it works and boots up fine but

Is there anything new on installing centos 5.1 on a 4G thumbdrive? What about the number of writes to the flash? Is that still a problem? Jerry

I've been poking at this for quite a while, and have never been able to get it to work. I've found a couple links with some partial truths: ? http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-make-a-usb-boot-disk-for-centosrhel-from-iso-file/ ? http://brakkee.org/site/2013/05/09/creating-a-usb-install-for-centos-6-4/ The first one talks about converting a standard iso to a 'hybrid' image, using:?

Hi all Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media? Seems like it should work, however my machine only has syslinux not isolinux. yum provides isolinux does not return anything. Anyway I was trying to get to a point where I can just stick a

Hi, I am just back to using WINE after several years. Linux has come a long way since then as has WINE. Because of my work I use several different computers during a week and therefore have compiled all of my windows friendly apps into portables several of which are not availible for linux. Is there currently a way to use my portables (on the thumbdrive) via wine? I would be totally MS free

I am using centos5.3 x86_64 on a gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H motherboard. When I insert a USB thumbdrive its detected with dmesg, I mount it and start to copy files. Then I start getting errors: sdd: assuming drive cache: write through sdd: sdd1 sdd2 sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdd sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete usb 1-5: reset high speed

To all or anyone: I have a very strange problem when using syslinux, and lnx-bbc. Perhaps somebody can provide some insight into Syslinux as it relates to what I'm trying to do. At Peerless, we use LNX-BBC to build a bootable USB thumbdrive. We added a script to init.d in the ram disk to execute one our scripts during LNX-BBC boot from the USB thumb drive. I have seen an apparent

I am having the darnedest of times trying to get my WinPE to work off the syslinux loader. I used to use isolinux, and my isolinux config would just invoke the etfsboot.com file which i had renamed to loader.bin, and everything would work just fine off a cd. But now I'm trying to transfer all of my cd functionality to thumbdrives. With Syslinux, i have my syslinux.cfg file calling loader.bin

My thumbdrive w/Syslinux and memdisk doesn't work on my Thinkpad laptop. But the thumbdrive does work on desktop platforms. And .. if i use Grub4dos with Syslinux .. it works on the Thinkpad Laptop. Any assistance would be greately appreciated! Thanks! <<john>> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access over 1 million songs

Hi I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386, copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 on the device plugged it into my laptop and it does not boot. Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry

Anyone have instructions or have been successful in booting centos 5.2 from an thumbdrive? I have instructions for centos 4 from http://fungliding.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_fungliding_archive.html and that worked. However, it doesnt seem to be working for centos 5.2. Thanks for any tips. Jerry
