Greetings one and all. I'm a unix newbe....so deal with me here. I have a .iso copy of syslinux 1.67 (which actually might be ISOlinux??) that I boot from CD (ramdisk version...no HD needed)... but my version doesnt have the mkdosfs utility on it. I was looking for an executable that would work with this version... can someone point me toward such an animal??? :Pat

since a few of you asked what I use it for...since I'm not a unix person.. I started using it back in 2002...to update hard drives that used a 'superfloppy format' (if anyone remembers the old DigitalWallet from Minds at work!) I fixed several of them after the company went belly up for photographer friends of mine. I mostly use it to do HD maintance...fixing fats...restoring backup

I don't know how you got that but syslinux 1.67 was released more than 13 years ago and AFAIK never distributed as an ISO, at least by the project. I suggest that you tell us what

PS (addendum to my previous answer) I found the message announcing it in the archives: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2002-February/000103.html However it is not available from the repository: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/1.xx/ Didier

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/297170 for some information on how to get this going. I''ve rebased and addressed the review comments. With this rebase I''ve picked up some patches from Julien which were required to do things properly, so the gic v7 and device blacklisting patches have been changed to use the proper mechanisms. Previously I was able to boot

Hi Gene It took me some time to check all the things you've asked. Hope you still remember the case... 1) Compiling SYSLINUX with -j1 didn't help. The first error message I get is about missing header file. I'll try to play a little bit with it to make it compile. 2) The 3-character mode that the version/copyright banner displays is EDD. What determines the it? BIOS? What affect

Hi Gene Thanks for your reply.I'm trying to breakdown overall system boot time and to understand each component duration. My linux image is a ~10 MB bzImage file with the rootfs cpio'ed inside. I also have 2 BIOS images:- some general purpose BIOS - a custom BIOS which loads real quick I'm using TSC to measure time. I'm not sure it's the best way (I've read about CPU's

Hi Gene Thanks again for your help. I'm using SYSLINUX 4.05 distributed by Ubuntu. For debugging I'm using SYSLINUX 6.03 because for some reason if I build SYSLINUX 4.05 from sources I get many compilation errors. SYSLINUX is installed on eMMC storage (along with Linux). I don't see the 3-character mode banner display. How can I check it? So I've added some timing prints to

Hello Everyone I'd like to know what's the best way to measure syslinux functions duration.I know how to measure overall time (from syslinux start), but is there an easy way to break it down? Thanks,Tal

The majority of this series went in a while back, what remains is just the basic platform support and the UART blacklisting. The series has also grown a constcorrectness fix for the other existing platforms too. Still no SATA support from upstream sadly. Bamvor has written some generic docs at http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Allwinner Thanks, Ian.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/297170 for some information on how to get this going. I''ve rebased and addressed the review comments. As before several of the patches are not to be applied because they can be done better using infrastructure from Julien''s "Allow Xen to boot with a raw Device Tree" patch. They are included for completeness. With

Hi Geert Thanks for your help. What I'm planning to do is to write COM32 image that will open UART channel and wait for input (until timeout arrives). In case input arrives, it will parse and validate it and act accordingly. My solution doesn't involve user interaction. I've searched the page you've sent me and it talks about serial console and I'm not sure I can use it for

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot
