Hi, I'm trying to get to the bottom of a problem using the combination of tboot (http://tboot.sf.net, trusted boot kernel for Intel TXT) and extlinux. TBOOT loads using the multiboot protocol, where the tboot "kernel" is loaded as the kernel, and the actual linux kernel and initrd are specified as modules. A working grub configuration looks something like:

Hello list, in a previous post I mentioned I had managed to make USB-Stick with 2048 byte sectors bootable. In fact I wiped out my Linux partitions bootrecord. This was with an old version of extlinux as still distributed by openSuSE. Interestingly enough the current version syslinux-3.61-pre2, spares my hard disk, but still seems to live under the impression it is the USB stick. The setup is

Hi, My problem is I have a particular system which has Linux (LFS) and Windows XP on one drive and Windows 10 on a second drive. I use extlinux to boot my systems and all three systems boot as expected, however in use I have found unsatisfactory interactions between the Windows XP and the Windows 10 systems. My question is: Is it possible on booting one of the Windows systems to hide

Hello, when I try to boot from my computer extlinux needs about one minute before the boot menu is shown. Here's my system configuration -Two IDE drives on one controller -Second hdd is boot hdd -I'm using Arch Linux (i686) Is there an official bug tracker which I can use? I only found the debian bug tracker and I can't find any information about bugs on the homepage. Here is my

The problem as I view it, lies in specifying a directory rather than a drive ( /mnt/.. or /media.. instead of /dev/sdb.. or /dev/sdc.. ). If, for instance, /dev/sdb1 is in fact mounted to /media/disk all is fine. If the path exists and is not a mountpoint ( /dev/sd... not mounted to it ), then extlinux will set the system disk as base for the directory. ( i.e. /media/disk = /dev/sda4 in my

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

Hi all : my /dev/sda2 is ext3 format filesystem, the os moblin is installed in /dev/sda2 which is root partition, the bootloader is grub, now i want to change the bootloader to extlinux, but i came across some trouble, so i did some steps as following: 1. rpm -ivh syslinux-extlinux*.rpm 2. extlinux -i /boot/extlinux 3. i edit extlinux.conf , and put it in /boot/extlinux/, there is

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

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange problem, my extlinux is no longer bootable, and I'm wondering how to troubleshoot the problem for a fix. It's not just an one-off thing, but is happening to me all the time -- I use extlinux to boot up all my linux, and it has always been working for me, for at least 10+ years. However recently I started to duplicate my linux system from partition to

I'm having a problem with extlinux booting to a Linux kernel image and initial ramdisk with a symbolic link. My /boot looks like this: extlinux.conf extlinux.sys initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.22.1 initrd.img-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 The relevant section of my extlinux.conf file is this: label 1 kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/initrd.img The error

Hi! Can extlinux boot Linux kernel from the second drive? I want to leave Windows XP on the first IDE drive and put Linux to the first partition (ext2/ext3) on the second IDE drive. I am allowed to change MBR on the first drive. Will the following configuration work? /dev/hda1 - Windows /dev/hdb1 - Linux root (/, /boot, ...) /dev/hda - extlinux in MBR /boot/vmlinuz extlinux /boot

Hi everyone, I'm working with libguestfs 1.30.3 on Centos 7 host. I encountered a problem when I wanted to install extlinux with guestfish as a bootloader for my guests and I always get this error: SYSLINUX 4.05 EDD 0x54f93f16 Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al ERROR: No configuration file found No default or UI configuration directive found! boot: _ *This is how I create the

Thank you for the quick response. > Strange way to do this, as libguestfs can do all this. Sorry to ask this (I'm a newly graduated engineer and I new to the virtualization world), but how can libguestfs do all of the above?, do you mean it can create all the partitions inside a new lvm volume or a new raw image?? > Did you copy the syslinux.cfg file into the guest? The error message

I am a relative newcomer to using extlinux. I am running Fedora 20 which means I am using syslinux 4.05. When I noticied that all of your documentation said that booting off ext234 and btrfs was supported, I gave it a try. Indeed, this does work with the boot files and the extlinux directory installed into the btrfs (root) volume. Has any thought been given to supporting supporting

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

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

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

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

I have LVM volumes: /dev/disk1/main /dev/disk1/mainboot /dev/disk1/other /dev/disk1/otherboot I can boot main by using syslinux with syslinux.cfg including: LABEL main MENU LABEL Main LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID={UUID} {kernel parameters} INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img (1) I see a lot of places saying syslinux can't boot a kernel on another partition, and that you have
