hi I'm new to this, and already havin some trouble :( I tried to make my usb pen drive bootable with sysliux, but I got this message: syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem But I already formatted the usb pen drive int FAT16 fs with cfdisk AND with qtparted (in both cases I got the same message). Anyone that could help me about this?

Im pxebooting target machine with vmlinuz & initrd. Once vmlinuz loads initrd, Im calling "/bin/sh" from linuxrc script so that I get command prompt. But my machine is not connected to network. # ping 192.168.25.2 connect: network is unreachable #ifconfig -a can not open /proc/net/dev : No such file or directory my /proc is empty. Please advice how to customize initrd image to

Greetings, As a Google Summer of Code student for the SYSLINUX project, I had the chance to learn many interesting things from hpa regarding the internals of SYSLINUX. So besides my main task of implementing ELF modules loading & linking, I decided to put down in the wiki all the information I found concerning SYSLINUX development. In this regard, I have created a special category on the

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle

hi, i am wondering about how submission of append parameters can be done. i have the following isolinux.cfg: --------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFAULT linux PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.gz nomce quiet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- what i want to do is to tell at

I'm considering the suggestion which was raised before about turning the debugging messages on by default in isolinux, or specifically, not building the non-debugging-messages version in the standard distribution. What do people think (especially distro maintainers?) -hpa

I would like to have two compressed ext2 filesystems on my CF card, one for the root fs and the other smaller one to be mounted at /opt/XXX where I can compress what is in ram after modification and write it back to disk at regular intervals of time. can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks

It's time again to apply to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. This means we need to refresh the list of suggested projects at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_Ideas I'm running even more ragged than usual, so any help in this would be appreciated. I'd also like to know who'd be willing to mentor this year. -hpa -- H. Peter

Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

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

Dear prospective GSoC students! Please submit your proposals to GSoC webapp system **now**. The deadline won't be extended this year as it was last few years. Even if your application is not completed yet and you're still collecting comments in llvm-dev, please do it! Just indicate, that your application is still in progress. You will be able to refine it later. -- With best regards,

Timo, maybe there are a few dovecot enhancements that would be good candidates for this? Maybe the test suite? Replication? LMTP server? Anyway, its just a thought... -- Best regards, Charles

Hi, in approximately one months time mentoring institutions can propose projects for the Google Summer of Code 2009, see http://code.google.com/soc/ Last year the R Foundation succesfully participated with 4 projects, see http://www.r-project.org/SoC08/ for details. We want to participate again this year. Our project proposals will be managed by Manuel Eugster (email address in CC). Manuel
