similar to: unable to install Debian using syslinux 4.05

I would like to boot FreeDOS ISO image from USB memory stick using syslinux. I have done following: 1) I created a partition to my 2GB memory stick: root at debian64:~# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders, total 3932160 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size

I haven't looked at what GParted does, so I may be off mark, but I have a strong suspicion that this LBA "flag" is a fake flag that simply indicates if a

Hello, Is it possible for syslinux to boot from a different partition ? I have a UFD with 2 partitions. The first one is fat32 and the second one is a squashfs. I have the OS files in the squashfs partition. As the syslinux won't boot from a squashfs partition, I thought of creating a fat32 (first partition) and install syslinux in it. If I do that, is it possible to configure syslinux to

I used syslinux 4.03 for my brand new usb-stick (16GB FAT32, no Partition Table). It works, but on some computers i get "boot error". My investigation reveals three bugs in the boot code. Int 13 function 8 destroys the contents of register ES. Ah, now it is corrected in version 4.04 pre 5. Well done. I am happy now. But there are still other bugs. Look on version 4.04 pre 5,

I'm working on a debugging/diagnostic image in order to debug/diagnose an issue with very recent machines using a UFD (USB Flash Drive) which really _should_ be partitioned but someone decides to be a little too quick and uses it raw. (FAT* file system on /dev/sdb rather than /dev/sdb1). Anyways, I've got a successful first iteration that'll say what the BIOS thinks about geometry and

Hi, I would like to ask if there are any known issues with booting an ISOLINUX hybrid iso image from a USB Flash Drive on older Dell PC's (i.e. P4 2.2GHz). I've tried several that one should just be able to write to UFD and boot, but they all fail on my hardware. I get "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" message on screen. This function would be very convenient for me, so

I have a USB flash drive that I'd like to image, and then load that image via pxelinux and memdisk. The flash drive was formatted under Windows 98 SE as FAT, and boots just fine on its own. The PXE boot process gets as far as loading the image via memdisk, but then when the boot process switches over to the RAM disk, it fails: [...PXE diagnostic information...] Loading boot

Hi list, I'm new with UEFI and GPT. For several years I've used MBR partition table. I've installed my system on software raid1 (mdadm) using md0(sda1,sdb1) for swap, md1(sda2, sdb2) for /, md2 (sda3,sdb3) for /home. From several how-to concerning raid1 installation, I must put each partition on a different md devices. I've asked times ago if it's more correct create the

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

Hi, I bought a 16GB Transcend JetFlash V10 yesterday and am trying to put the fc8 livecd on it (after filling it up with all sorts of other junk :) I've only plugged it into an fc8 machine (from unopened) - nothing else. I also have a Toshiba U3 2GB USB. The OS is fc8 fully updated except the kernel (2.6.23.15-137.fc8) the livecd-iso-to-disk uses the command "syslinux -d syslinux

Just tried the latest release and found a minor bug. Have a UFD w/ SYSLINUX, which boots a simple .BSS image no problem. Launching exactly the same image on a ISOLINUX disc fails w/ the following error msg: Invalid image type for this media That's it for this msg. Later....Jet -- Powered by Outblaze

Hi, I have a custom linux system that runs off a FAT32 usb flash disk. I use syslinux to make it bootable and load the kernel. I'm trying to boot now from a SSD SATA disk (500GB) but it's not working and I can't figure out why. BIOS show that no bootable disk were found. What I already tried (linux fdisk): 1- Creating a new DOS partition table on the SSD, a FAT32 (type b), and

Hi , I ve tested the pclinux minime on usb 1Gb and later 8Gb, with fat32 and syslinux boot , works splendid in Ram , and persistant saves on stick.. Now i want to try extlinux-boot with ext2 or 3 on the usb. With ext3 , i get constantly bumped to commandline, where i could type in the vmlinuz and initrd paths , but it cant make the loop-file of minime work..so it gets little panic :* But it wont

High all, In WinXP, I have created file "image.iso" using mkisofs, but unable to postprocess with the "isohybrid". I worked as follows: cd F:\syslinux-4.05\utils F:\syslinux-4.05\utils> isohybrid F:\image.iso and received >'isohybrid' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What next? Thanks in advance.

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

When trying to installing Syslinux on a FAT32 drive formatted using Ridgecrop's Large FAT32 formatting tool [1], the installer will bail due to the minfatsize check, as there is an extra sector being used. This fix addresses that. [1] http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm -------------- next part --------------

Hi, I am running rsync on MacOS 10.3 and I want to transfer files to a linux machine, which has linux partitions and fat32 partitions. Transfering the files to the linux partition works without problems, but if I transfer them to the fat32 partition, files are ignored if all characters in the file name are UPPER CASE. - The files which rsync should transfer do not exist in the target directory.

I know syslinux supports FAT16 and works very well, but how about FAT32? Does syslinux support FAT32? If so, which version? eg., 3.11 and above Thanks!

I think I implied that the Large FAT32 fat size had an extra sector compared to minfatsize, when of course I meant the opposite (the Large FAT32 has one less sector than the minfatsize computed by the unpatched code, hence the check
