Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where if I use vesamenu.c32 with PXELINUX 6.03 when network booting a virtual machine hosted on VMware ESXi 6.0, it hangs (the version message is printed and then nothing - the VM has to be powered off and back on again). This happens no matter if I choose the E1000 network interface or the VMXNET3 network interface when creating the VM. The same problem

I have syslinux booting slax off of a usb stick but in the process I think I may have found a bug in syslinux im using version syslinux-3.31 my syslinux.cfg use to look as follows <== beginning display boot/splash.cfg default slax autoexec=startx prompt 1 timeout 40 F1 boot/splash.txt F2 boot/splash2.txt F3 boot/splash.cfg label slax kernel boot/vmlinuz append vga=769 changes=slaxsave.dat

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

Hello, Thanks very much for your suggestions. I have double checked that all .c32 files are from the same version of syslinux. What I don't know - I only put those .c32 files I have in there on the basis of trial and error - is what .c32 files are actually needed for menu.c32 and/or vesamenu.c32. I thought perhaps there might be a .c32 file missing that I needed to put in there (though

Hello list, I'm trying to reuse a fairly old PC based embedded system. It has no video output at all, no VGA, nothing older, and no keyboard / mouse connectors. The console is on a standard RS232 interface, including BIOS output and the minimal BIOS loader. The BIOS emulates / redirects text output to and keyboard input from the console RS232 interface, but unfortunately, this emulation

Hello, First of all, thanks very much for this piece of software, it's working like a charm. I'm using it to boot a Linux distro I'm working on. What I want to deal with is the display of accented characters in ISOLINUX. First, I set EXTLINUX up to boot an ext2-formatted USB stick. No problem so far. I wrote a config file ordering to load a font (lat-9w) to display french

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

I have worked in IT for several years and programming or anything related to this is not exactly one of my strengths. I need help creating a vesamenu.. Im trying to setup up so I can access my Acronis backup and disaster recovery 10 server, knoppix live cd, hardware diagnostics - pcdoctor and maybe a hiren type boot cd. I checked the Linux irc channel which I guess is now abandoned. If anyone

There is a maximum of 255 characters of parameters you can pass to the kernel.

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the

New idea proposal: Currently syslinux (and others) searches in for its config file, say syslinux.cfg, in a hardcoded list of directories. I propose that if the config file is not found, instead of producing an error message like "unable to locate config file", it should try to search in root directories and its subdirectories. There is -d option to install syslinux to any directory

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

works with legacy, hangs with efi. where works is: No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! but enter and ^v make things happen hangs is: nothing happens, no response from keyboard, have to reboot. note: config prompt.cfg prompt.cfg does not exist, but I would expect similar behaviour between efi and legacy. test is: starting with blank image, mkfs, mount it... + cp

I'm not seeing how to set this path option? Here is what I get using vesamenu.c32 as an example when moved to a directory outside of the build. The current syslinux 4.06 has all the files in the same directory which is at the root of the cd. ldd vesamenu.c32 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77c5000) ../../com32/libutil/libutil_com.c32 => not found ../../com32/lib/libcom32.c32 => not found

@Carl, I'll repeat what I said in my prior email: you don't have to keep looking, we already achieved what you want (considering that you are willing to "disregard" the screen problems and similar issues, at least for now, according to your own emails). In short: 1_ Re-read my email from 2018Dec05: www.syslinux.org/archives/2018-December/026247.html where I posted

Hello, I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu. The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on ubuntu, even after root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64 So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well. Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources: --- syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh.orig 2012-08-28
