similar to: Scientific Linux, Centos, Fedora, etc without grub (only extlinux)

Hi I just tried to implement gpt extlinux booting in my archboot project. extlinux installs fine but i'm not able to boot the hd afterwards. Setting partition to boot on in parted doesn't seem to have an effect in GPT mode. Is there any way to get it booting, i haven't found any docu about it. Thanks in advance greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package

I need to do PCIe memory mapped configuration space access from a com32 module. (ECAM, memory mapped, not CAM, which uses I/O port access). I know how to find the base address to the config space in Linux and use ECAM to access configuration registers. com32/lib/pci does not use ECAM. In Linux the region for ECAM is referred to as PCI MMCONFIG. (often shows up as e0000000-efffffff, see

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Hello, I am working on a remote upgrade that will utilize a squashfs to boot off the hard drive. I have everything worked out and functioning, except I see installing extlinux as an unecesarry step. The only thing I use the command for is to install the ldlinux.sys file to the /boot/extlinux/ folder. The rest of it is just a file copy. What manual step can I take to avoid the installation of

Hi, I discovered a very strange situation. I have 22 systems running Fedora 21 (F21) with bundled syslinux-extlinux 6.03. On one of those systems, I am having trouble booting. This machine was upgraded from Fedora 19 (F19), so can boot either the new or the old O/S -- F19 is on one disk partitition, F21 is on another, and there's a shared /boot partition. On this one machine, when I try

Hi: I've been seeing intermittent build failures with the extlinux target, and I believe I've tracked it down to a VPATH issue. See this make -d log: Finished prerequisites of target file `extlinux'. Prerequisite `extlinux.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite `setadv.o' is newer than target `extlinux'. Prerequisite

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

Hello, We are experiencing a strange behaviour on an embedded system (i386 PC board). The structure of our disk is the following one : - A 2GB fat16 partition with DOS and syslinux - A 100GB Ext4 partition with Extlinux an several linux images to boot on ram - A swap partition The system boot on syslinux to choose among Dos and Linux boot using chain. When Linux is chosen, syslinux chains to

Sorry I wasn't clear. Fedora 19 was installed on a / and /boot partition. I then installed Fedora 21 on a separate /

Hi all: my filesystem is btrfs. /boot and / is on the same partition(/dev/sda2, format btrfs). i install syslinux as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-extlinux-4.00-1.i386.rpm syslinux-tftpboot-4.00-1.i386.rpm 2. extlinux-i /boot/extlinux. (the extlinux.sys can't be create on the directory). 3. i copy extlinux.conf to /boot/extlinux . (of course

Hello, Is it possible to install extlinux into a disk image, without being root ? It seems like extlinux --install absolutely requires the specific block device in which extlinux should be installed to be mounted. This prevents from doing an extlinux installation as non-root, which is annoying for build systems such as Buildroot [1] that build a complete Linux system from source, without being

hello, quick question about extlinux: I accidentally installed extlinux on the wrong partition (I run extlinux -i somewhere beofre mounting my usb key to somewhere). Now extlinux seems to be stuck in my main hd partition... how do I remove extlinux from the hard drive? I mean both the extlinux.sys file and the bits in the partition table... Could not find any info how to doit. Thanks. Paolo

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

Hi, I'm trying to build extlinux statically, but no matter what CFLAGS or OPTFLAGS I set in the Makefiles I get bios/extlinux/extlinux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=ef970f59a48b226b2397b73a56e02a73b79c5f0a, not stripped I have tried adding OPTFLAGS= -static to the extlinux/Makefile as well as

Hi, I am having a problem booting from a disk installed with extlinux. The exact configuration that worked with version 3.36, when upgraded to 3.50, appears to still work on the same disk. But if I zap out the disk (i.e. start from scratch again) and install extlinux, the disk fails to boot. Extlinux stops at the boot: prompt after displaying "Could not find kernel image: linux". It
