similar to: chainbooting pxe servers stalls

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg like this: default freebsd

Hello All. Yesterday I?m trying another ways but without luck. Issue still exist ? Please help. Is it possible to rewrite DHCP setting for sanboot.c32 after gpxelinux.0 load? Will be nice to have this possibility because: 1. DHCP can be ?black box?. 2. DHCP admin not available. 3. PXE server rewrite dhcp setting. I cannot boot from cdrom after pxe(gpxelinux.0) ? please help. LABEL Windows 7

Hi, I'm new to the list. I've replaced grub by extlinux to multi boot my system. Now, I can't manage to boot one of my systems. I have 5 hard drives, 3 of them being part of a raid0 array, and one of them being here for backup purposes (can be removed). So the total 'logical' drives number is 2. First drive: - primary partition holding a rescue Windows XP system (ntfs) -

Hi, I am using syslinux-4.00-pre24, -pre27 and -pre31. chain.c32 fails for pre27 and pre31 for particular configs ... shown below. 1) works on pre24, fails with error message "Chainboot failed!" for pre27 and pre31 LABEL local MENU DEFAULT MENU LABEL Local Boot ... (skip PXE boot) KERNEL chain.c32 APPEND hd0 0 2) works on all three. LABEL local

Ok, despite what I said yesterday I decided to release a 2.08-pre10. The only difference over 2.08-pre9 is that I have added a small program in the "samples" directory called chain.c32. This allows chainbooting local floppies and hard disks: chain fd0 ; Chainboot the first floppy drive chain hd0 ; Chainboot the first hard drive chain hd1 3 ; Chainboot partition 3 on the second

I have released SYSLINUX 2.08-pre11. It is the same as 2.08-pre10 except I have added logical partition support to the chainbooting module (still no partition hiding or anything like that.) Unfortunately I have no way to test this at the moment, so I thought I'd release a -pre11 and see if someone was willing to take it for a spin.

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been

When you try to boot the FreeDOS kernel with 'fs' specified, chain.c32 won't boot the FreeDOS kernel. boot: chain.c32 fs freedos=kernel.sys Loading the boot file... Booting... Chainboot failed! boot: It would be nicer that chain.c32 will automatically correct 'fs' to 'boot' behavior, so it won't fail. msdos= will probably behave the same as freedos=. - Gert

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

This is simple (I am sure) but how do you get the id of the inserted element after the element has been save? I thought it was something like this: @product = Product.new(params[:product] if @product.save add_image(product.id, params["image"]) flash[:notice] = ''Product was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list_products'' end

I have this in my controller... @tech_standards = TechStandard.find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM tech_standards WHERE subpoint <> 0") Everything is fine except when I look at my view I still get supoints that are 0. When I run this query in my query browser I don''t. View: <select name="resource[tech_standard]" id="tech_standard">

For reasons I won't get into, I need to use grub (not grub4dos, super grub, or any other variant) as multiboot loader on a USB thumb drive, but I also need some of the partitions to contain bootable content from syslinux-based ISOs. All of these syslinux partitions must be logical rather than primary partitions and they will not be the first partition on the drive. Porting the syslinux

To start, I know I need to upgrade SYSLINUX, but since we are using the CMenu's it's not that easy of an upgrade. I have been (slowly) working on a new iPXE/pxelinux 4.04 install that I am migrating to. However, I have an interesting problem. Using any of the examples I have seen, I can not make pxechain.com work. "pxechain.com ::/path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com

I'm interested in redoing doc/syslinux.txt into 2 AsciiDoc documents, splitting configuration from command. First, however, I'm requesting comments on my recent documentation of several modules I have written. My goal is to be clear, concise, and complete. Acknowledgements and constructive comments are welcome. If it would help to also post converted copies of these documents (HTML,

Hello list, I am trying to prepare a USB disk with syslinux that is meant to be able to offer a choice among many different distributions. The goal is that I should be able to dump each distribution's CD contents into a separate subdirectory, and have a master menu that hands off to each distribution's subdirectory. A while back, when faced with a similar task on a PXE server, I came

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

I have a form. Everything submits into the database if I don''t have any validation rules. When I put these rules: validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "already exists in database" validates_presence_of :title I get this error (which seems weird because I am not validating against that): You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You

Hey guys, We are going with WDS to fire up first to get the benefits of targeted M$ deployments. If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off anything you want to including PXELinux. The stuff I was talking about before with PXELinux not working in
