I was trying to set up a USB stick with syslinux.exe, on a XP machine. Had the following problems: 1. Tried: 1.1 from XP native cmd shell: E:\>syslinux\syslinux.exe --directory /syslinux --install --force --mbr --active e: 1.2 and a similar command from cygwin. where e: is the USB stick. With cygwin I got a segmentation fault. With XP

I would suggest putting this syslinux web page info near the top of the man page. I was using debian, which has all the linux images being linux.bin. So, to make my own boot disk, I thought I would just copy bzImage to the floppy as linux.bin. Big mistake, if one does that it will not work, and one gets output like: - 0400 AX:0208 BX:0200 CX:0002 DX:0000 etc. Just renaming

I've just been playing with PXELINUX 1.74, and I can't get NBP chaining to work. First problem is that the code doesn't appear to recognize .0 files. I could be completely mistaken (x86 assembler isn't my forte) but I think the problem in pxelinux.asm is here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .one_step: mov ecx,[di-4]

I made several attepmts using the tree of 5.01 2013. My syslinux.cfg file has display /path_to/syslinux.cfg directive. 1. The installation, with a --directory option, was successful. After boot I got syslinux boot prompt. The syslinux.cfg was not displayed. I guess that means the MBR was there, but not the partition boot sector. Then I noticed the thread at

Hi folks, I'd like to write a graphical menu for a rescue Linux system I'm currently working on in my spare time. I'm experimenting with VESA for this... but my real questions are: How do I boot a Linux kernel from a COMBoot (.cbt) program ? Supposed I have syslinux.cfg that looks like this: DEFAULT menu LABEL menu KERNEL menu.cbt LABEL linux KERNEL kernel.bzi Do I have to use

Hi, I've read that Syslinux supports bzImage files now, but when I use pxelinux (which I hope also supports it) with a bzImage, I get : COMBOOT image too large What can I do to fix this ? Kind greetings, Wim Godden

1) With a running linux system, is there a switch to run extlinux with, ?? and read on the terminal the extlinux.sys version that is ?? installed? 2) Is there a directive to add to the conf file, to see that information ?? while booting? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.

Hi folks, Syslinux 5.00 is out in time for the holidays. This release includes a lot of changes from 4.06. I've included the NEWS entries below, which highlight the major changes. Lots of assembly code has been rewritten in C, which makes further development much easier (and also really helped for the 'firmware' abstraction that appears in Syslinux-6.00-pre1). So be on the lookout

Hi Peter, While testing I noticed a problem with the launching of comboot files. When you start a comboot, the user command line text is copied to the comboot's PSP, but the default append options or the virtual kernel append options are not copied. This means I can't have an isolinux.cfg as follows: default bscript label bscript kernel bscript.cbt append myscript.txt because

Ah, depends on the image type. We spoke reset for an NBP though. On December 3, 2014 12:50:24 AM PST, Thorsten Glaser <t.glaser at tarent.de> wrote: >On Tue, 2 Dec 2014, H.

I have released SYSLINUX 1.75 -- this one is identical to 1.75-pre9 except the version number. I have gotten enough testing done that I feel it's time to release... Changes in 1.75: * ALL: NASM 0.98.32 or later is now required to build SYSLINUX from sources. * SYSLINUX: put back in the workaround for the BIOS floppy table. This seems to be a
