Dear all, I have recently been playing with vesamenu.c32. It seems to work quite well on my hardware test machines. However, it's not really working as expected on VMWare-based test machines. (It's really nice to have a slick background image!) As soon as i choose an option and boot a linux kernel, the menu does not go away. Instead i'm left with an unresponsive menu stuck om the

I am trying to create a DVD with ISOLinux as the bootloader to allow my users to select to install either Linux or Windows. Having read the article http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2002-October/001135.html i am left in a bit of a confused state as it sort of half explains things. All i think i need to know is: 1. What files are needed to boot windows? 2. Where do i have to place the

The attached config works, but gives 2 error messages that get covered up by the GUI screen so fast I cannot read them. I think they are probably about having 'LABEL' with nothing after it. I was trying to follow the example in menu.doc but somehow I'm doing it wrong. Please consider helping me figure out how to get the same resulting GUI menu without any error messages. I am using

Hi All, I have used menu.c32 to offer several booting options to our users via pxelinux... the icing on the cake would be if there was some mechanism whereby the pxelinux boot could be restarted, with the usual search for pxelinux.cfg/... files... all without a reboot and going through POST. Does anyone know if this is possible or if a comboot module exists for such a thing ? Cheers, Doug

I have three questions. If these are not currently possible, consider it a feature request: 1. Is it possible to create label aliases, such that one label will simply use the configuration of another, without having to completely copy the configuration. It would also be great if these aliases could cross INCLUDE boundaries, such that a label can call a label defined in an included file.

I have decided to promote SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 to release candidate status. If it tests out OK, it will become 3.31 some time next week, probably. -hpa

hi I have download the syslinux-3.51 source package and i have tried to compile syslinux with MinGw. I got the following error message. *********************************************************************** $ make nasm -O99 -f bin -DDATE_STR="'0x47bd5366'" -DHEXDATE="0x47bd5366" \ -DMAP=isolinux.map -l isolinux.lst -o isolinux.bin isolinux.asm

I was trying to use my windows RIS server to deploy linux so as to require user authentication. After seaching the internet I found that it was possible but not very well explained after alot of tinkering I eventually got it to work. Here is my documentation so hopefully others can do it in less time than I, feel free to comment and improve.. ************************ On RIS Server Create

After about 15 hours, a packet sniffer and a ton of google searching later, I have a solution to getting WDS (Windows Deployment Services) to work with PXELINUX Google didn't turn up anything of use directly, everything that was referenced appeared to be related to starting pxelinux from either WDS or RIS. That just won't do, since they often can give hiccups and lockups when

Hi all, I would really appreciate feedback on the graphical menu system and its infrastructure. It's not really clear to me that it's what people want; it seems to me that it makes more sense than gfxboot, for example (C rather than pseudo-Forth), but I can understand people would disagree. Anyway, the more feedback I get the easier it will be to pick a direction and a priority for

Hi, I've recently did some extensive testing with PXELinux and I must say it's great! I've tested it with several pc's and VMware vm's at home, this works flawlessly. However at my work, we only use MS Virtual PC 2007 and so on. I've started today to testimplement pxelinux into wds/ris, this seems to work but when I want to display a menu eg: default menu.c32, then

Was just looking at a number of my scripts ( due to having to update them for RH5). Would it be possible to add support for variables / 2 variables HTTP_SERVER (scope should be global in "default" but local elsewhere, could maybe pe passed as an argument to vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32 (i think its only of use for people using these files.)) KICKSTART_DIR (this name should be more

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.31. It is functionally identical to SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4. Changes in 3.31: * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. Changes in

I have a pretty simply home LAN with a Linux box (Mandrake 9.1) and 2 XP boxes. The workgroup is named UNIVERSE and the machines are earth (Linux), voyager (XP) and starbase (XP). (smb.conf has security=user). Voyager can browse over to \\earth\share no problem. Recently I connected starbase to my LAN using a wireless router. When on starbase I cannot browse to \\earth\share. When I do so I

Newbie question here. I am doing some work with Bering uClibC and have been wondering about the meaning of the various parameters in the syslinux.cfg file. I have already read the FAQ (http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php) which leaves me wondering where to find more information on the 'default' and 'append' parameters. For example, what are all of the kernel and other arguments that

I have looked through all of the documentation on the simple.c menu setup. I am moving from the menu with the Default, and several files *.msg my current menu launches in text and I navigate by F numbers or typing the corresponding Number next to the option that I want, I can handle setting this up, but I want a graphical background now and more customized options. So I am modifying simple.c to

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

Dear All, Firstly, many thanks for the hard work put in by the development team :) Now I have a couple of problems, any help welcome: 1) Some of our software needs linuxthreads (i.e. InsightII) but it's closed source and the writers (Accelrys) are unlikely to respin the code as they want us to move to a different program. Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos

Hello, I'm still trying to setup RIS (Remote Installation Service -w2k) with PXE Linux, but before that I must say that the mail list archive is a _good_ idea. Back to RIS. When I start from pxelinux memdisk initrd=risbootdisk.img I get an error: No UNDI Driver found. The risbootdisk.img is a bootdisk from Microsoft, which starts a RIS installation. When I boot from floppy it works fine,
