IIRC this is not possible (yet?) as kernels and initrd should lie in the ESP alongside the EFI image(s) and the config file. But I am not sure, so if I am

Hi syslinux list, Some months ago, hpa was kind enough to help me troubleshoot booting Extlinux in a system with the following particulars: * Windows Vista x64 bootloader in the MBR and Vista installed in /dev/sda1 * Extlinux 3.72 installed in the first sector of /dev/sda2 and Foresight Linux installed in /dev/sda2 (at the time I tried, 3.72 was the default bootloader in Foresight) The problem

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

I have a USB disk with syslinux files installed in /boot/syslinux, and the bootloader is installed into MBR or VBR I then extracted a *.iso file which uses syslinux as the bootloader, into root dir of the disk. The iso file contains a rescue OS or an OS installer. Now I got the directory /isolinux with files isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg in this folder I can now boot into syslinux, but *what to

Hi, This is off topic for this list, but someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. For a couple of years I have been using ISOLINUX + MEMDISK and Smart Boot Manager to chainload a CD-ROM boot after loading a floppy image into RAM with MEMDISK. My problem now is that Smart Boot Manager does not support/detect SATA optical drives used in new hardware. Does anyonw

Hello all =D Just to be up-front, I'm not a novice Syslinux user. I've been playing around with it for a couple years on-and-off. However, I may not be totally comfortable with the 5.00+ layout as of yet (as far as dependencies and such). That said, I should have all the dependencies in place for my 6.00 test bed: syslinux.efi syslinux.e64 chain.c32 libutil.c32 libcom32.c32 Being as all

Hi, I'm trying to boot Debian-Installer image from extlinux with chain.c32; i.e.: - I'm doing this from a loopback device (loop0) which later will be dumped to an USB stick. - GPT disklabel. - Partition 15 (loop0p15) contains extlinux info, and partition 12 contains Debian multi-arch installer image *dumped*[1], and its corresponding menu entry for extlinux is something like: LABEL

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the

Hello everyone, I am trying to chainload grub2 using both pxechain.com and pxechn.c32 and in both cases once grub2 loads it fails to find the grub config file on the server. My setup is as follows: 1. DHCP (192.168.1.2) server points to a multi pxe server menu on itself. The entry in the dhcp config file is: *class "installerator-pxeclients" { match if substring (option

Hi! I have bootable (USB flash) disk, that _appears_ to be using syslinux. (the word syslinux is in the PBR, in the hexdump). How can I chainload it? The payload seems to be a file that I tried load with COMBOOT, COM32 etc, but nothing works (they report that the file is not in proper format, wrong magic number or simply crash). How to proceed? is there a 100% way to confirm that it is really

Hi, i think i found the reason for the boot failure in the definition of Extended Boot Records. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record#Values "Starting sector = relative offset between this EBR sector and the first sector of the logical partition. Note: This is often the same value for each EBR on the same hard disk; usually 63 for Windows XP or older." So if

I have a number of syslinux based USB sticks which can be booted from PCs that support USB boot. I also have a number of PCs that do not support USB Boot. They are running Windows 2000 and Windows XP typically from ntfs formatted single partition drives. Is there a way to chainload syslinux residing on a plugged in usb stick from boot.ini? I've seen instructions for how to do this for OSs on
