similar to: PXELINUX: how to debug initrd corruption?

Guys, I have a Packer build procedure, that works like a charm, when with CentOS 6.7. Exemplifying: 1- Packer (with virtio disk) + QEmu + CentOS 6.7 ISO; 2- Create a RAW image; 3- Convert the RAW image into QCOW2 for KVM hypervisors (okay); 4- Convert the RAW image into VMDK for ESXi hypervisors (okay). However, when doing the very same procedure, with CentOS 7.2 ISO, it does not boot

Hello, I noticed the following behavior of extlinux 4.05: I created an ext3 filesystem on the first (primary and active) partition of a usb stick. I mounted it at /mnt/. Then I copied to /mnt/ldlinux.sys the ldlinux.sys found in the syslinux 4.05 archive and I created a basic /mnt/extlinux.cfg. Then I ran "extlinux -i /mnt/" and rebooted on the usb stick. I got "ERROR: No

Hello list, I'm trying to reuse a fairly old PC based embedded system. It has no video output at all, no VGA, nothing older, and no keyboard / mouse connectors. The console is on a standard RS232 interface, including BIOS output and the minimal BIOS loader. The BIOS emulates / redirects text output to and keyboard input from the console RS232 interface, but unfortunately, this emulation

Hi, this patch series attempt to uninstall VMware tools on all the Linux guests, and reduce the uninstallation time needed in some cases: - v2v tries to workaround the slowest part of the tarball-installed VMware tools - v2v uninstalls the open source VMware tools (open-vm-tools) Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): v2v: linux: remove open-vm-tools packages v2v: linux: try to trick

G'Day All, Can someone help me out please. My new CISCO 7960's manual says I have to setup a TFTP server. Googled it and got a little understanding, but from * standpoint, well I am still a lost. Can I set this tftp server on the same * box? Can in be on a WinXP box? Which tftp software would you recommend? Thanks much. BTY: Does anyone have a How-To on getting the 7960 fully configured

Hi. I'm hoping that someone on this list can help me with my problem. I've been looking on my own for a question for the past few hours at least, so hopefully this isn't just a FAQ. Anyhow, my problem is simple (to describe). The NIC's boot agent gets an IP address (verified with dhcpd), gets the pxelinux boot image and correct configuration file (verified with tftpd), and then

When installing the VMware tools from tarball, the installation script rebuilds the initramdisk of all the available kernels to inject the missing kernel drivers; in the end, the information on which kernels were changed is recorded in the internal "database" of the installation answers. When uninstalling the VMware tools, the uninstallation script reads the saved answers, and in the

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> Some linker scripts were splitted into i386 and x86_64 versions in commit d8eede3f2a360163235fad222a0190cd7c5bef38 but older scripts were left there.

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> These patches basically remove unused linker scripts and port a change that was made to an unused script. Those are to be applied on top of the gcc 5 bug fixes as they would conflict otherwise.

I'm trying to make sense in the support for setjmp/longjmp in Clang and LLVM, with only partial success. I'll try to summarize my findings in the hope that someone can shed some light on why things are the way they are and what I'm missing. Clang. Clang recognizes two forms of setjmp (all I say here applies to longjmp similarly): * __builtin_setjmp: gets lowered to calling the

Hi, I have been using pxelinux for quite a while. It works extremely well for us. Now, I am looking at something new. We would like to: boot ( some OS - hopefully linux )from the network using pxelinux. make a small partition dos partition on the first disk. connect ( via perl dbi ) to a back end database Download the appropriate files for either a winxp build OR a kernel/ramdisk for a

Our site has many Dell OptiPlex 790s, all of which are unable to use the 'localboot' PXELINUX option as they either hang at 'Booting from local disk...' or immediately reboot depending on which SYSLINUX version is used. Many people have suggested using chain.c32 to chain load the local disk as a workaround, but this causes problems with Windows 7 BitLocker as it detects the chain

I read the following about memdisk : .... For any other size, the image is assumed to be a hard disk image, and should typically have an MBR and a partition table. The disk C/H/S geometry is determined by examining the partition table, so the entire image should be partitioned for proper operation. .... I'd like to create a bootable cd, wich boots a linux and some other tools. While

[resending, cutting out git pull-request output to make message smaller] Hi all, I have written a COM32 module called "acpioff", that, not surprisingly, powers off a machine using ACPI. I have tested it only using pxelinux.0 with a SeaBIOS/Qemu virtual machine. Since the changeset pulls in a "Linux-ized" version of the open source ACPI Component Architecture, it was too big

*** This response is my personal opinion and may not reflect that of my employer. *** It seems recent updates to Anaconda and in particular Blivet in the CentOS 7 .iso are restricting things rather than expanding the options. We have a scenario where we are doing a CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 upgrade (replacement) using a backup partition to hold the install image. Over the years, as we added cloud
