similar to: Is there debug version of syslinux?

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!

Hello, we have the following problem: - a new Dell Optiplex 740 boots pxelinux.0 - loads the kernel - start to load the miniroot.gz and crashs after loading about 1/5 of the miniroot The tftpd messages are: Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Advanced Trivial FTP server started (0.7) Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Serving /linux/pxelinux.0 to 10.10.100.113:2070 Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006

We modified our copy of syslinux. We're now sharing those modifications. That's so that: 1. We fulfill our requirements under the GPL 2. Our modifications might be picked up and included in the base code. That way we wouldn't have to make the same modifications, again, later. Since we're using CentOS 5.3, and CentOS 5.3 derives from RHEL 5.3, and RHEL 5.3 uses

SLES10's syslinux 3.11 has included two gfx_boot patches. My question is: Has syslinux mainline (e.g., 3.60 right now) integrated the two patches? FYI. SLES10's syslinux 3.11 source code is in http://demeter.uni-regensburg.de/SLES10-x86/suse/src/syslinux-3.11-20.3.src.rpm, I care about the two gfx_boot patches because my machine can not boot if the two patches are applied and boot

I try two ways to use syslinux for USB key (2GB USB key), and one approach can boot from machine, another approach can not. Could you review the following steps and tell me why #2 can not boot? Thanks very much! approach #1 steps: mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n USB /dev/sdb -I (pay attention, it uses "-I" here) syslinux /dev/sdb (pay attention, it is "sdb", not "sdb1" here)

hi, i'm doing my own windows multiboot dvd's using latest ultraiso and isolinux 3.09, and everything was fine till now. now i tried 3.11 and this release doesn't load any windows cd boot sectors while other stuff like memtest works fine. same for isolinux 3.10, both the normal and the debug version. the attachment shows a vmware 5.5 beta window with an error message by isolinux 3.11

I just tried to boot extlinux off of /dev/sdb and use the option localboot 0x80. I was hoping to see syslinux for the second time as the system loaded the master boot rec from /dev/sda. Why is this option only in pxelinux and isolinux? Nicholas A. Schembri State College PA USA

We have tried compiling the binaries our self and using the pre-compiled in the syslinux tar ball as well. It just locks up with the text we provided. The problem is booting from CD, booting from USB works. I suspect the problem is in isolinux.bin. The CD only fails on this one machine. It works on everything else we tried. 4.06 worked without any issue on this same machine. Parted Magic has been

hey, Ive got your syslinux booting a floppy disk that boots an image via NFS just fine and dandy.. default linux-jason prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux-jason kernel vmlinuz append append=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=xx.xx.xx.xx:/var/local/user/thinpc,rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,nolock,posix vga=792 ip=dhcp label linux-egg kernel vmlinuz

Look into the original XP cd and see where NTLDR is located, then place it on your cd in the same directory and it 'should' work. I have created some 2000 XP boot cd's with integrated recent service pack's and they still boot. But I do that with cdrecord+original boot sector, not with any isolinux stuff... But I hope this help! -----Original Message----- From: G. Murali

Sorry for the delay, we were too busy drinking and playing with explosives yesterday. :) Here are some tests. We did one on a similar machine and it worked. We deleted the configuration file, obviously. # Dell OptiPlex GX620 ISOLINUX 5.11 5.11-pre7 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 00000115 isolinux: Image checksum error,

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hello List, I have used isolinux for years without problems. Recently I decided to upgrade from 3.09 to 3.11. Every CD I create can be read on my Vectra (Pentium 3) and all other Pentium 3 boxes, but all my Pentium 4 boxes will not boot (they ignore the CD and boot from hard disk). The bochs VM will boot the CDs fine just like the Pentium 3 machines. I have tried 3.09 (which worked

This is a minor tweak on 3.11-pre2. If nothing new comes up, I will release this as 3.11 probably early next week. -hpa

Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk destabilizing the 2.07 release for: Changes in 2.08: * Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

Hi, I'm the maintainer ROCK Linux (www.rocklinux.org). We are using isolinux on our Install-CDs for x86 systems. We - as most other distributions too - are running in the problem that even minimalistc kernels are slowly growing and sometimes don't fit on 1.44 MB floppies anymore. 2.5.x kernels with initramfs are even bigger than 2.88 MB in some cases... Until now it always has been
