Hi folks, I'm trying to make a CompactFlash bootable with SYSLINUX. The hard part is that I'm trying to run SYSLINUX on Windows 2000 and am attempting to write to the compactflash that's plugged in via a USB reader/writer. Its not working -- Windows complains about the 16-bit subsystem wanting direct access to the drive. So then is the problem SYSLINUX fighting with Windows or

I just did a source upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3. System boots but has this warning: GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (mirror/gm0, MBR) Google points to issues with FreeBSD 9 and the need to migrate to GPT but I wasn't expecting this with 8.3! Are there any quick fixes to eliminate this warning or is it safe to ignore please? sudo gpart list: Geom name: mirror/gm0 modified: false state:

Hello! I'm using a CompactFlash as storage device. Since those CF cards only have limited write cycles (CF does wear-levelling by itself, but you don't want to write too many timet so the card) i was wondering by what a factor the journaling of ext3 increases the write accesses to the CompactFlash compared to ext2. Thanks a lot already for your help! Sincerely Chris Braun

SYSLINUX 2.10 2004-06-18 That is all I get when I boot my system off a CompactFlash card in an IDE adapter, no matter how long I wait. What debugging steps are recommended? I'm willing to get down and dirty with assembler, and I'd appreciate suggestions of what to suspect and where to start. Details: This is a Crucial 128MB CompactFlash card in a non-hot-swap CF-IDE adapter which

Hi folks, I hit the syslinux homepage for the first time in a while. The stuff just works, so there's no reason to come to the website, eh? :) Anyway, the first line is "The SYSLINUX Project covers lightweight bootloaders for floppy media (SYSLINUX)", and I think that this needs to be expanded a bit. I use SYSLINUX on CompactFlash, and it works great because together with

Hello, I have a question about ext3 write activity. I am considering using an ext3 fs on a CompactFlash disk for my data-logging application (power can disapear anytime). The quantity & frequency of the data logged itself is not a problem at all considering flash wear. But I'm a bit worried about the kernel/ext3 doing regular writes by itself even when there are no userspace writes.

Hi folks, I'm having problems now with the Win32 syslinux in the 2.0.6 release when using it on various CompactFlash drives. These drives end up going into a Geode-based PC board with a built in CF slot. Now, before I run SYSLINUX.EXE on them, they are 32MB with a Toshiba part number showing up when the PC boots. They show up on as the Secondary Master. After I run SYSLINUX.EXE, they stay

Hello Luis Thansk Yes we tried that and it works, but if you are in the field and only have new clean compact-flash and no DOS, you are in trouble. I can syslinux directly to the USB card-reader/writer under Linux without problems too. It just appears as a SCSI-device(/dev/sda). best regards ole at danelec.dk * danelec electronics a/s * Blokken 44 * DK-3460 Birkeroed * DENMARK *

FYI, Sorry for crossposting to the users and commercial list but this is really a HUGE development and deserves a large Asterisk audience.

Hello For those SOHO customers (ie. at most, a couple of POTS/ISDN connections and simultaneous SIP calls) who'd rather not use a big, noisy PC to run Asterisk, I'd like to offer an alternative that has the following features: - not old hardware sold on eBay, ie. it must be up-to-date hardware sold by a company currently in business - compact, silent - has room for a 2.5" hard-disk,

Hi! If you are trying to syslinux floppies or CompactFlash cards from within Windows in a command prompt, here is a hint: run 'syslinux.EXE drive_letter:' instead of 'syslinux drive_letter:' I banged my head yesterday with it... ;) p.s. yes this also works with an USB adaptor Luis Correia PGP Fingerprint: BC44 D7DA 5A17 F92A CA21 9ABE DFF0 3540 2322 21F6 Key Server:

Size/Speed/write cycles have gone way up, price has gone way down. More common than CompactFlash and no need for an adapter. So is it feasible to run an Asterisk server on something like this? With a MTBF of 1million write cycles coupled with dynamic wear management on a 4Gig USB drive, lifetime is a non-issue. Just wondering how well it works, if it works.

Hi! as i know that you like test reports, here are some... Testing environment: CompactFlash card, connected with an USB adapter to a Compaq Evo D310 frontal USB port. This machine boots via USB quite well with syslinux. 3.09 boots ok, no problem 3.10-pre2 does not boot 3.10-pre3 does not boot 3.10-pre4 does not boot 3.10-pre5 locks up pc 3.10-pre6 locks up pc 3.10-pre7 writes

This is Hide. This is the first contribution. I'd like to configure cluster file system by OCFS2. The number of nodes are two. CompactFlash card(CF) is used as shared DISK. Guarantees of the writing frequency to CF are up to 100,000 times. However, it exceed in two day, due to the disk_heart_beat executed every two seconds. I tried following procedures to solve that. It seems solved. 1.

I've been thinking of making a (mostly) solid-state asterisk pbx. Take either centos or some other distro, cut it down to bare minimum and put asterisk + AMP on. Something that could be put onto a usb2.0 flash stick, bootable. Modern flash devices (usb, compactflash) have builtin wear leveling management and will last longer than you think:

I have been using ext3 filesystem from 2.4.17 kernel in the default "ordered" mode on an 64 MB SanDisk compactflash. The disk itself was used on NationalGeode embedded board. The following entry was used in fstab (I know, may be stupid, but should not crash the filesystem?) /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,sync 1 1 After the board is switched off, it does not boot

This is completely offtopic, but well, I run the list so there :) Please respond directly to me and not to the list, though, to save the people who don't want to listen to this discussion. I am looking for a small PC with very specific criteria; these machines are going into an industrial setting (which I cannot explain in detail); I was hoping someone on this list might have experience with
