similar to: VBR conflicts filesystem?

In my usb drive with EXT3 filesystem in /dev/sda1 partition, syslinux uses the first sector on /dev/sda1 but EXT3 filesystem doesn't?

No, it does not

Hmm, yes. The series is available at https://github.com/wferi/syslinux as well (lua52 branch, based on upstream

We are doing a deployment across many sites, we're doing one site at a time and we're bringing a "mobile server" (a laptop, really) to keep traffic local instead saturating the WAN link of each site. I'd like to make a script so each client can determine if the mobile server is on the same subnet either with a ping with a zero TTL value, with the ip/netmask and a bit of

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

Using that, load_file could be implemented in Lua as: that does work, yes. It just looked like a file object should have a some way to get the contents.

I am a developer from the 'Frugalware Linux' distribution. I have been trying to use the syslinux lua module to support more dynamic menu generation at runtime for our distributed ISO images, as Grub2 is not very configurable for this. For example, I need raw access to the PCI bus information to configure the video output kernel boot parameters for specific hardware. Specifically,

Hi, I'm working on https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/OSTree which is a general-purpose update system for Linux-based operating systems. It isn't a package system itself, but operates at the same level. A primary goal of OSTree is fully atomic updates, and the "swapped chroots" model works well for most of userspace and the kernel/initramfs. However, syslinux relies on
