similar to: syslinux unable to load

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

If I understand things correctly, a bootable floppy has two key pieces of executable code: the 512-byte boot sector, and the kernel loaded by that boot sector. The kernel can be large, and thus

forgive me.. i have no idea what im asking or if its possible... i have 2 partitions as follows and am using the std windows xp bootloader to boot xp - ntfs (windows xp) - fat16 stupid question is... can i use syslinux, isolinux, memdisk or some combo there of to place a bootable cdrom iso image on the fat16 partition and then have a boot menu with something to the effect of : 1) winxp as

I have been succesful in using syslinux to boot from a hard drive, by dd'ing a Linux (LRP) image onto the drive and then running syslinux (i.e. dd if=the_image of=/dev/hda followed by a syslinux /dev/hda), however I'm having problems getting it to work from a partition on the hardrive. I'm trying to use syslinux on a small 100MB FAT16 partition (same commands as before, just

Hi Folks, I've been playing around with SYSLINUX for a little bit; here's what I'm trying to do... My disk will have three partitions: [BOOT: (FAT16 w/ SYSLINUX)] [OS1] [OS2] OS1 and OS2 will both contain an XP Embedded system which is read-only and which will always boot from a hibernate file. What I'd like to be able to do if flip-flop between them at runtime (that is, run

I've recently returned to working on FreeDOS again after quite some time, and read about an unmerged MEMDISK branch that allows to boot DOS-based ISOs. This seemed quite usefull to me as it allows for faster modifications to my code/scripts/disklayout. The general idea was to install Syslinux 3.83 to harddisk, then add the modified Memdisk from that boot-land forum, as well as my ISO. In

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

Hi All: I found this old message on the web archives. I've gotten Xen working with PXELinux, albeit with something of a hack. The basic chain is: 1. pxelinux 2. memdisk 3. FAT16 floppy image 4. grub installed on floppy image 5. xen.gz and vmlinuz on floppy image While this seems pretty simple, the key bits were to use: 1. FAT16 (not ext2, etc) for the floppy image 2. use the 'raw'

Hi, I am a student at the University of Twente ( ITC).

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

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!

As some of you know, I'm creating a hardware MDCT core. At the moment I'm working out the best way to create a lookup table for the trig values, as set up in mdct_init: /* trig lookups... */ for(i=0;i<n/4;i++){ T[i*2]=FLOAT_CONV(cos((M_PI/n)*(4*i))); T[i*2+1]=FLOAT_CONV(-sin((M_PI/n)*(4*i))); T[n2+i*2]=FLOAT_CONV(cos((M_PI/(2*n))*(2*i+1)));

Hi all I am trying to get rid of strings: kernel: Connection attempt to UDP FREEBSD_IP:port from DNSSERVER_IP:53 on my console and in log file I understand that those are replies on DNS queries that for some reason took too long time to be answered. I do not want to turn off the "log in vain" feature. As these strings fill up my log I am afraid to miss some sensitive messages (e.g.

I'm new to wine and suse 8.1. I d/l the most current wine version for suse8.1 = 200303.. and rpmed it. I was surprised that wine was not updated with Yast but only directly with rpm.-F ... Does anybody you know why? I had tried it first and it seemed to work but rpm -q showed the same date! I now have doubts on all the other rpm patches/updates ... The win3.1 program is special purpose

Hello, I am new on Ubuntu. I would like to use R, but I tried Kate and Scite. The first one keeps trying to use KDE applications,while the other does not understand the language. I have searched for another editor for hours, in vain. Which editor should work with Ubuntu? I am looking forward to your answer, thanks, Camille
