Hi all, I found a strange behavior in memdisk: I build an image of Windows 2000 (Fat32) with geometric of C=115 H=255 S=63. I testet it as a real harddisk and it works. I boot it to ram with memdisk initrd=w2000.img from my first harddrive, as discribed to boot with syslinux. It crashs with reboot, the time is to short to recognice the appearing letters before reboot. (Can I stop the screen?)

I am trying using a kickstart file to install CentOS 6.2 into a new virtual machine (the MBR sector of the harddisk is all zero), however I found that the installer cannot go through the harddisk partition. It failed after I chose "Use All Space" at harddisk partition option. The error message is: http://anony.ws/i/bMcTJ.png "You have not defined a root partition (/), which is

Dear All I have a problem with my Compaq EVO n410c laptop. I want to install Windows (Win98/WinXP) on it. But this laptop don't have any floppy/cdrom to boot from. I have try to use My USB Drive to boot, using syslinux. Here's my step 1. Format the USB Drive using "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" 2. Install syslinux (syslinux -f F:). F is my USB Drive 3.

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought won't boot. And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks... So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.

Hi Does subject exist? Is it possible to get MAC address, video card, RAM and the storage of a harddrive by using comboot? And can some one help me? /Kenneth

Hello Everybody! I am currently setting up an Asterisk server for medium to high load (approximately 20-35 concurrent phone lines). Do you think the following specs will sufficiently satisfy this system? CPU: XeonQC3220 2.4GHZ 8M RAM: 2X2GB/800 Harddrive: 1X250GB I could add harddrives and partition them into /var and /log directories to help with diskdrive throughput. Thanks! Elliot

I am having problems getting my 64-bit Debian Squeeze (Xen version 4.0, Linux Kernel 2.6.32) dom0 to recognize a harddrive connected to a secondary sata controller. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 and has two sata controllers. The first is controlled by an Intel X79 chipset and the second is controlled by a Marvell 88SE9172 chip. During the initial install of Debian everything is fine and

Please help with a problem that is slowly driving me nuts :-/ *Quick problem* Can I kickstart an install by reading all the files from a single partition on the system and installing onto all the spare space on the same drive? I am using `harddrive --partition=sda1 --dir=/` but it doesn't seem to work!! *Longer version* I have a server that has no CD-ROM and that I would like to install a

Hello everybody, maybe someone has also had this issue: I try to copy the root partition "/" to a subdir "/Volumes/System". This is not a cyclic recursion, because "/Volumes/System" is a mounted hard disk partition. So I gave rsync the parameters "-x" for one-file-system, and '--exclude "/Volumes/" ' also: # rsync -ax --showtogo

Hi, I once again have a problem with memdisk failing to boot a harddisk image to update my Thinkpad X200s firmware. I extracted the harddisk image from the eltorito type 4 ISO using the isobar tool. Then I added memdisk using this image as initrd to my grub, rebooted and it boots into PC DOS and then freezes (ctrl-alt-del still works to reboot the system). Inside Qemu however it works fine

I've installed Syslinux on a somewhat old system. The motherboard is based on an Intel 440GX chipset (specifically it's the Supermicro P6DGE if that means anything.) The harddrive has been split up into partitions of one hidden FAT16 (marked as active) to which syslinux is installed (hda1), one normal FAT32 which has windows and dos (hda2.) It also has an extended partition containing

Hi All, Anybody know how to make R emit base64 encoded text in some way that perl can grab it, instead of planting a file on your harddrive when calling JPEG or PNG? I've managed to get these scripts to work and put a file on the harddisk #!/usr/bin/perl -Wall # by jin kee. a simple script to demonstrate # the needed steps to get R to emit a jpeg. use strict; my($callR, $callRold); # need

Hi all, I want to have a warmboot nonvolatile ramdisk to put and start XP from ram. That means that the ramdisk and its content have to survive a reboot on a "normal computer"! (No battery ...hihi) First I make a try with Microsoft ramdrive.sys and switch /e in config.sys from Dos 6.22 and with qemm386.sys but that doesnt work for me. Qemm (8, 97)does not work together with harddrive

I like how some cds, such as the windows installer discs will skip booting from the disc if you accidentally left the drive because they require you to hit a key to make them actually boot from the disc. I've kind of tried to emulate this behavior using chain.c32, but, it requires me to specify which harddrive, and I'd rather see an independant setup. I've tried localboot -1, but, it

Hi all, Having seen a few messages regarding the ASUS Eee PC (p701) and R, and then buying one and trying to get R installed on it, I thought there might be a few people on the list who would appreciate a cookbook on how to do it. It's a nice little piece of machinery, running Xandros 4 Linux (seems to be compatible with Debian Etch) and set up for the person who wants to do all those

How has experience in Asterisk voip provider? I am trying to setup a reliable Linux system with Asterisk for a voip provider. Therefore I got two more or like identical systems.

Hello, I own one of these netbooks Asus Eee PC 900, mine is running FreeBSD 7.0, and a Linux based cellphone, the OpenMoko Freerunner. Since some time I'm thinking in a replacement of my 'normal' BRI phone at home and the two items mentioned above let me think that the replacement should be UNIX based as well. The legacy BRI phone, around ten years old, even has more or less the same

Hello I would like to make a HOWTO: fix the realtek network card on the asus eee box. Centos 5.2 detects it as r8186 but it doesn't work right out of the box. Thanks to #centos and google I was able to get it to work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I am installing a Samba 3.0.1 on RH90 for a little school, and they want to have access to a mobile usb-harddrive. The harddrive shoud be mapped via the login script, and here is were my troubles begin.... I have been experimenting with the autofs service, which works great if the harddrive is present at login time. If one login at a time where the harddrive isn't present the login

Hello, I am managing 15 separate boot disks with various network disk images. These disk images are used for network installs of Windows OS's. Basically the network boot disk contains dos, the network drive in question and the connection information to the shared server for doing a ghost install. The problem is the 1.44 disk doesn't hold enough space to accomplish the job. What I
