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 I understand you (mostly). 0) How do i "install the MBR code as well and to activate your partition." 1) "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" -->> successfully completed. 2) "mkdir /mnt/extlinux" -->> successfully completed. 3) "extlinux --install /mnt/extlinux" -->> does not work. Funny, but it it seems that there is no such thing as

Hi! I have the same situation, but some more information : 1) I have tried to change the last line to "APPEND root=/dev/sda1", it did not seem to make any difference 2) If I type ENTER at the prompt, syslinux loads the kernel (but with the same results mentioned above). So, clearly I have a problem with my extlinux.conf. Thanks Mau On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Mau Z

Hi! It's funny, but I was unable to find an answer to my question. I am building an embedded system (x86). I want to install syslinux on a fresh system. So, I am booting from a USB LINUX CD (Ubuntu 12.04 in this case). 1) I must have an ext2 partition (This is my application). 2) I understand that I must have a FAT partition (to install syslinux). Correct ? So, basically I understand that

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

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

Hi, I am wondering how to implement the following customer's requirement : The system is a stand alone embedded system with no operator (with Linux). There is one SSD for the system's usage (and that is where the system loads from). The requirement is to have a duplication of the Linux Image, and that syslinux should calculate CRC of "the first image" (say bzImage_1). If the

Hello syslinux, I'm a newbie to extlinux, and I'm a developer from yocto project (an embedded linux project). The device or filesystem must be mounted before we can install the bootsector to the device if I understand correctly, for example: $ mount /dev/sdcX /tmp/mnt $ extlinux -i /tmp/mnt Usually, the mount command requires the root privilage, we may not have the root privilage when

Hello, Is it possible to install extlinux into a disk image, without being root ? It seems like extlinux --install absolutely requires the specific block device in which extlinux should be installed to be mounted. This prevents from doing an extlinux installation as non-root, which is annoying for build systems such as Buildroot [1] that build a complete Linux system from source, without being

Hi all, I have just released syslinux-3.70-pre25. Unless someone has something big and scary that either I have managed to miss or was just stumbled over, I'm going to release 3.70 final some time between tomorrow and Monday. Thus, *please holler now* if there are any stop-ship problems still known... -hpa

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.
