similar to: Fwd: syslinux-6.03 failed to boot ESXI 6.7

Hello, list, I'm buiding syslinux6.3 with ESXI6.7, but it says, * failed to load COM32 File http://172.16.234.112/images/esxi67/mboot.c32* Here is my config: ------------------ label esxi menu label ESXI-6.7 ^Installer kernel http://172.16.234.112/images/esxi67/mboot.c32 append -c http://172.16.234.112/images/esxi67/boot.cfg -------------------- Seeing from http access log,

Lu Wei, What Hard drive are you also trying to boot? The first and only fixed drive inside a computer? If so would the line to boot a local HD not be: LABEL LOCAL MENU LABEL Local operating system in harddrive (if available) kernel chain.c32 append hd0 -Adan On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 8:56 AM Adan Calderon <adancalderon at gmail.com> wrote: > > Lu Wei, > > For the DOS portion

So when you boot from only your hard drive attached, it is the primary and only drive. It loads the master boot record that load the NT Loader boot code that is then configured to load the operating system from the primary partition on the primary drive. When you boot from the USB drive, you make it the Primary drive. You then tell it to load the MBR fromt the secondary drive. The secondary

Thanks. That gets me further. Syslinux 4.07 loads from Syslinux 6.04 now. For some reason though it reread D:\syslinux.cfg instead of D:\ESXi\syslinux.cfg . I don't see the directive that tells Syslinux(4) to look in the sub directory for syslinux.cfg instead of the root. The only thing (right now) I can see that is different, is my D:\syslinux.cfg is one file while yours loads other files

Thanks! The only way I could see to write to a file is using the win32 version and specifying a file after the drive letter. syslinux.exe D: syslinux.bin This throws the same message on to boot and just says Boot error. Is that what you meant to write it to a file? I tried in Linux: syslinux --install syslinux.bin and that did not work(throws an error that syslinux.bin does not exist). I

Hi All, I had some issues with keeppxe and also found a solution after much trial and error. I would have not mind trying out ?experimental? binaries but it was not clear where to find them. I use a stock a stock install of slackware64 current for my tftp server. I use pfsense to point to the tftp server under the dhcp boot options. I upgraded from Syslinux 6.03 to 6.04 pre1 and was still

Greetings, I encounter a problem that should be basic, but I can't get a clue. I have 8G USB disk formatted as FAT32. I run (syslinux -i -s -r -m H:) to make it bootable, and write syslinux.cfg according to the documents, but it will not boot some items. Syslinux is 6.03, bios files used. The whole syslinux.cfg file:

Remember the vmware versions of their loader are diffrent. I remember looking at the source for the mboot file and it was diffrent from the syslinux version.

Hi All, I am seeing issues printing to a text file. I am using Samba Version 4.12.3 and CUPS 2.3.3. I have written a simple BASH backend for CUPS to simply copy the RAW contents and save it as a file. I do not believe this is an issue with CUPS simply because I can print from a Windows 7 Terminal doing something such as: NET USE LPT1: \\10.111.11.130\RAWCAPTURE DIR C:\ > LPT1 The

This patch is just a (shameless) copy from bug #28 [1]. The original patch has been sitting there for a couple of years now, and it was based on Syslinux v 4.05. The patch I am posting here is just a re-base on v.6.03. Whichever inadequate formatting (tabs, trailing spaces...), or any kind of correction that was required for the original patch to be accepted, is probably still required now.

Hi all, I'm attempting to PXE boot ESXi, which uses the syslinux mboot.c32 module. The mboot.c32 included with ESXi seems to be an older version that runs into an "out of memory loading.." problem halfway through, even though the box has 8GB memory. This may be related to NUMA, since it works fine on an older box but not the newer blade. I saw that some non-contiguous memory issues

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux 3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this
