Hi all, I was using grub2 for booting Archlinux x86_64 in my GPT Internal HDD (/dev/sda) then I switched to syslinux/extlinux. It was working fine but suddenly it staring showing "Boot Error" message on screen. I googled for a solution and tried all syslinux versions from 4.04-pre4 down to 4.03-stable but non of them worked. I don't know what suddenly changed caused this

Hello! I'm posting some experiences with GRUB0/1 + sys/extlinux + MBR/GPT in a pendrive with 15 partitions. This could be helpful improving sys/extlinux. I did make a bootable pendrive with 14 distros using a GPT partition table and a tricky solution to let sys/extlinux boot from every partition chainloaded from GRUB (GRUB0 or GRUB1). Having a MBR schema, sys/extlinux can't be

I need to create one bootable UEFI disk partition that contains all the space on the disk. The steps must work in a shell script. Ideally with syslinux/extlinux but if not possible then grub. How to do this? Surely it should be dead easy, a handful of lines? Nothing I do works. This is what I have so far: DISK_DEVICE_NAME_CURRENT_OS=hda echo remove all partitions sudo /usr/local/sbin/sgdisk -Z

Hi, I've been working on making a USB key which is bootable via EFI and BIOS, and so far I've succeeded but only by using GRUB on the MBR. Syslinux installs correctly, but because the USB key can only have one partition and its type is EFI protective, it isn't set to bootable on the MBR partition table and so syslinux (mbr.bin) doesn't boot. I've also tried gptmbr.bin

I'm trying to make a drive that can boot with both UEFI and BIOS. I've built the drive successfully on my Linux machine, but can't get the drive to build with my Windows machine. The only step that's different right now, is that I use `extlinux --install /media/drive` to install with Linux, and `syslinux.exe --install d:` to install with Windows. In fact, I can prepare a drive with

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:

Hi I just tried to implement gpt extlinux booting in my archboot project. extlinux installs fine but i'm not able to boot the hd afterwards. Setting partition to boot on in parted doesn't seem to have an effect in GPT mode. Is there any way to get it booting, i haven't found any docu about it.

Fine, I will do it all again and use some tool like 'script' to log every single byte, but it'll be a few days before I can email that to you since it takes overnight to zero out the drive to ensure no old data will interfere, and copying the data from the old drive to the new one is also rather slow. For the record, I did RTFM. It has no complete examples for _ANY_ use case, and you
