I've backported all of the bugfixes to the 2.5 dxdir/htree patches to 2.4, and have created a new set of patches for Linux 2.4.21rc5. At this point it *looks* like we've fixed all of the htree bugs that people have reported, including the brelse bug, the memory leak bugs, and the NFS compatibility problems. I've done *very* light testing, and things seem to work, but I'm now

There's a new set of ext2/3 patches for 2.4.21-pre5 available at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/extfs-update-2.4.21pre5-2 and in broken out form at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/broken-out-2.4.21pre5-2 New to this patch set include: * A kludge to help htree work well with Linux's NFS implementation * Allow the orlov allocator to be disabled via a

Can I boot to memdisk using loadlin.exe? I saw that there were references to loadlin in the memdisk init.S (at least in the 2.04 version) so I thought it would be possible. If there's some resource that I can refer to I'd love to know that. DR-DOS 7.02 loadlin.exe 1.6c Sorry if this is a FAQ, I looked through the digest some before I joined this list, but I didn't see anything there

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Could someone possibly clarify the relationship between these 2 programs? I am in a situation where I am developing for an embedded system, and I need to rewrite my CMOS before I actually boot into linux. ~ The only tools for manipulating my cmos happen to be DOS utilities, and I was hoping that I could script their use in autoexec.bat or somewhere

Hi, What the the size limit of booting bzImage file with syslinux ? I have tested different sized bzImage files, and when the files are small <800K, they work with syslinuz, but at some size larger they fail to work. This was the same problem loadlin1.6 had, but loadlin1.6c fixes the issue, and I can boot bzImage sizes up to 1.5Meg with loadlin, but syslinux fails. Can you confirm this

Hi, I'm a newbie on all of this so this might be a very stupid question! I have a DOS boot disk which loads generic USB drivers to make my USB pen drive accessible under DOS. The pen drive has a number of floppy disk images on it of various utilities and I want to mount these using MEMDISK via LOADLIN. All my attempts so far either freeze the PC or reboot it! I have tried running it from

Dear R experts, I am in transition to the R system from other statistical systems I was using (SPSS, Statistica, etc.). I have used R for a few months on my Windows PC, but now I would like to install R on a Linux box with SuSE 8.1. I downloaded the RPM for SuSE 8.1 from the CRAN mirror. But when I run the INSTALL script using the midnight commander it gives the following error message: #

Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: asking for help on syslinux Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 15:37:14 +0800 From: Wu, Ming M <ming.m.wu at intel.com> To: <david at weekly.org> Hi, David: I am doing some experiment on syslinux and its derivative extlinux, and I am quite confused To the concept of extlinux. Seems extlinux need to modify the MBR of the hard disk. Am I right?

First I'd like to thank you, and everyone who has contributed to the isolinux development. It has been the solution to many of my development needs. Currently I am creating a Linux system that runs directly from CD. Currently the CD is working and I am using isolinux to boot the CD. The compressed kernel is approximately 2 meg and the compressed initial ramdisk is approximately 4 meg.

Hello list. I have configured a Linux box for booting from a Compact Flash instead of a Hard Disk, this is an IDE CF, Syslinux is on the MBR because it loads, when I put the the kernel file named as linux as it expects i load it but when I rename it expecting it to load the SYSLINUX.CFG it does not load the menu as I would like, I will put two images on that Compact flash in order to boot from

Hi all, Do any of you have any ideas for getting a DOS floppy to reboot to the hard drive (which may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like pxelinux and isolinux do. Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then reboot to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive.

Hello all, I've been using ext3 since it was released for 2.2 kernel, and I've always wondered about the name. Calling it 'ext3' implies that it's a brand-new filesystem, not just a journalling add-on for ext2. I guess I understand that you want to be able to use ext3 and ext2 in the same kernel, but why not make it a mount option, since the journal code is separate in the

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

Johan accidentally wrote me personally with the following email, which I thought would be better intended for the syslinux list.

Seth, Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to bother with this, but what is the "root pivot" function and where can I find doc's on it. From what I understand from your email the system would basically boot twice. Once from a stripped kernel on the floppy disk to mount the CD, and then after the CD is mounted it would reboot with the kernel and initial randisk found on the

Hi all, I'll be shuffling some services around and upgrading hosts in the coming weekend, which will most likely mean services such as git and bugzilla will be at least temporarily unavailable throughout the weekend. Please get in touch if this is a problem for anybody. Also, I'll try to provide regular updates on #freedesktop IRC and a summary on the sitewranglers blog at the end.
