multi-device btrfs volumes
Currently, extlinux does not support multi-device BTRFS volumes. Is
anything planned to add this support? I believe I understand that it
has to be a lot more complicated with multi-devices because you are
doing the device I/O at a very low level.
However, grub2 does support booting from multi-device BTRFS volumes
(actually subvolumes on multi-device BTRFS volumes). I cannot be

[PATCH 1/1 v2] Add UFS1/2 support to Extlinux installer.
It's needed to enumerate both UFS1/2 since they have different magic numbers
and super block offsets.
Besides, UFS2 can be installed in the 0-64k range like BTRFS, whereas
UFS1 can't. UFS2 has no cow feature unlike BTRFS.

extlinux and btrfs
I am a relative newcomer to using extlinux. I am running Fedora 20
which means I am using syslinux 4.05. When I noticied that all of your
documentation said that booting off ext234 and btrfs was supported, I
gave it a try. Indeed, this does work with the boot files and the
extlinux directory installed into the btrfs (root) volume.
Has any thought been given to supporting supporting

[extlinux] Failed to load ldlinux.c32 with btrfs subvolume

Change since v1:

consequently a bug on ufs_readdir.

Boot 32GB Multi-partition Flash as USB-ZIP
I have a Pentium 4 machine that does not boot from my 32GB SanDisk
Cruzer. Its first partition is 24GB and FAT32, to serve as
cross-platform storage. There is a second partition of 7GB in EXT2
which is bootable and contains a Linux system armed with syslinux
(extlinux). This works fine booting off of recent laptops and desktops
alike.

installing syslinux on a fresh system (SATA)
Hi
I understand you (mostly).

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

[PATCH 0/8] extlinux: support unmounted ext2/3/4 filesystem
Hello syslinux,
Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted
ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example:
$ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN
or
$ extlinux -i file_block
Also it can work with something like:
$ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv
or
$ extlinux file_block --reset-adv
We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in
use), it will check whether the

Extlinux no longer bootable, how to fix?
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem, my extlinux is no longer bootable,
and I'm wondering how to troubleshoot the problem for a fix.
It's not just an one-off thing, but is happening to me all the time --
I use extlinux to boot up all my linux, and it has always been working
for me, for at least 10+ years. However recently I started to
duplicate my linux system from partition to

(i.e. start from scratch again) and install extlinux, the disk fails to
boot. Extlinux stops at the boot: prompt after displaying "Could not

extlinux 3.20-pre8 notes
hi Peter, everyone,
I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive.
after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too.
Heres a few notes/observations:
- menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf,
unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight,
or something Im misremembering ?
- extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice.
if I dont choose, it times out and
