Help! Extlinux no longer bootable after reorder disk numbers
I split one partition, then my hard drive partitions and my partition numbers are listed in the wrong order and I fixed them <https://journalxtra.com/linux/how-to-reorder-linux-drive-partition-numbers/> so they run sequentially from lowest to highest. And the problem is, as the article <https://journalxtra.com/linux/how-to-reorder-linux-drive-partition-numbers/> has warned, my disks

gpt and extlinux how to get it bootable?
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. Thanks in advance greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package

Bootable CD for booting of USB HDD
Hi, I bought a USB hard drive, got Mandriva installed on it, and made it bootable with extlinux. Works great on machines that can boot from USB. I also created a boot cd using the instructions in the wiki. This is working too. The only problem with the boot cd is that I had to copy the kernel, initrd, etc. to the cd. This means that whenever I install a new kernel I'll have to create and

failed when boot the kernel image on the harddisk from syslinux on a floppy
Thanks for responses. I use GRUB as my bootloader in my hard disk now. I have a Windows in sda1, Ubuntu in sda3. If I want to install extlinux to boot Ubuntu, should I follow the steps below? 1. in Ubuntu, go to extlinux folder, run command ./extlinux --install /boot 2. create an extlinux.conf in/boot 3. cd ../mbr 4. cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda (or use dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sda bs=404 count=1)

How do I create a syslinux bootable GPT UEFI Linux disk?
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

EXTLINUX: Reading the extlinux.conf but can't find Kernel
Hi Folks, OK - I'm not entirely new to Linux but I'm certainly not great on the boot process. What I'm trying to achieve is to boot from an external USB HDD (not flash drive) using EXTLINUX. I've run an installation against the disk using a VM. The disk was partitioned as follows: /dev/sda1 = /boot (bootable) /dev/sda2 =/swap /dev/sda3=/ (i.e. root) /dev/sda4=/dos sda1 and 3

EXTLINUX
I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

Laptop+SDMMC+Extlinux+Memdisk+Floppy images=headaches
Hello syslinuxers I'm stuck with a scientific problem which gives me headaches: I have a laptop (Gateway MX3410) which has a SD memory card reader. Recently an interesting thought crossed my mind: why don't I setup a 2GB SD card as a harddrive and put some rescue tools on it. So I dug on the net and I came across the idea of using memdisk to boot floppy images without the need of a

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

Locally attached disk is seen, 40 gig PATA in USB enclosure is not.
Hi Folks, When I boot ISOLinux, the locally attached disk is visible but the PATA 40 Gig in a USB attached enclosure is not. The locally attached disk has no bearing on what I am doing and to avoid confusion will not be mentioned again. Everything is happening on the 40 Gig. Let me explain. The goal is: Copy an installation iso to the disk, boot the disk and install it on that disk. I have

extlinux to boot linux from the second drive
Hi! Can extlinux boot Linux kernel from the second drive? I want to leave Windows XP on the first IDE drive and put Linux to the first partition (ext2/ext3) on the second IDE drive.

extlinux - Failed to load ldlinux.c32
Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only
