Thanks I let GParted create the file system. It was done on a rescue disk of Ubuntu 12.04 (GParted 0.11.0) I think that the problem is in my command line.

Why not use linux as bootloader? Booting a (rather small) linux kernel with I?C support and either shutting down or kexecing another linux kernel (plus

Hi All, I am trying to install extlinux on a fresh system. Here are my steps : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A) Create an ext2 partition. I did the following steps : 1) boot from CD 2) Activate GParted 3) Create Partition table on the "fresh disk" (/dev/sda). 4) Create 1 ext2 partition (and mark its flag as "boot"). B)mkdir /mnt/Ext2_partition C) mount /dev/sda1

The RAW nature of Disk Imager fails to leverage the unique intentions of UUID to surmount the problems of multiple bootable drives in the same system for purposes of knowing which one you actually booted from and should continue to use.

Hi everyone, for UEFI bootable media I currently use preloader+gummiboot while on BIOS media I use isolinux/extlinux. Since maintaining two configurations is some kind of extra work, I plan switching to syslinux in the next weeks or months. Creating an UEFI boot partition or El-Torito image seems easy: Use preloader, hashtool and the syslinux efi file, copy them to the FAT image and be

Then again, I suppose you could have a script in your init that detects when it has been booted from a *special* UUID. In such cases it goes to the first instance of a volume with that *special* UUID and re-writes it to a genuine UUID, as well as updates the syslinux configs on the volume. You could then create your seed image with that *special* UUID and then even an XP user could write it to a

Hello, is it possible to select the default boot image by hardware properties? I corrently boot a couple of laptops fom a single USB stick and I would like to select the default kernel image automatically.

Hallo, syslinux, I'm working with an USB stick and an *.iso image. On an USB stick I can use "casper-rw" and "home-rw" for persistent directories/files. Under PXE I haven't yet found a similar option. Is that a syslinux-/pxelinux problem, or is that a "casper" problem? Example: USB stick, part of "isolinux.cfg": label desinfect menu label

Thanks all, I did find extlinux in "my syslinux tarball" (I think that I understand my confusion now - I will explain at the end). So, now almost everything is fine...... Clearly my extlinux.conf is working (I can see my output on the console (SAY XXX)) I have a bzImage + rootfs.tar I tried : 0) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/MyMountForSda1 -->> success 1) cd /mnt/MyMountForSda1

Thanks Can you help on "the big question" ? which is under the name "installing syslinux on a fresh system (SATA)" Mau On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 3:33 PM, Mau Z <zmau1962 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi! > > > > I was looking to download EXTLINUX in the following page

I have not looked into it all that much. But seems that UEFI basically allows booting without a bootloader. Here is some gentoo wiki info in it: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub_kernel And Greg Kroah-Hartman talking about it a bit: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2013/09/02/booting-a-self-signed-linux-kernel/ I am looking forward to making a little HOWTO, for this subject and also for using

Hi, I have a particular situation that syslinux could access a i2c bus to get some data from specific device that my hardware has. Based on these data, syslinux should or not to boot. It's feasible to create some i2c infraestructure to syslinux access i2c bus? It could be used to something more than only my needs? I digged in gpxe code and it has code to provide some i2c functionality.
