similar to: chain loading Syslinux 3.86 from 6.04

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

Hello, I was wondering if someone might give me a hand. I have a multiboot drive I maintain and I am trying to add the ESXi installer to it. It seems well documented that VMWare uses their own mboot.c32 file which is built from not the same code in SYSLINUX mboot.c32 3.86 . I'm using the Syslinux 6.04 from the Ubuntu repositories. I have compiled Syslinux 3.86 . I thought I could try

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

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

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.

Lu Wei, For the DOS portion make sure you have a working FAT-32 DOS Bootable Drive first. Back up it's boot sector into a file. This file will probably be 512 Bytes and if you were to open it with a Hex editor it would start with ".X.MSWIN4.1" and end with "SYS~..WINBOOT SYS..U" This would of course be looking at the ASCII view. Assuming you put the file in the DOS

Syslinux 3.86 is out; it is a bug fix release. Syslinux 4.00, starting with Syslinux 4.00-pre38, is now officially in beta test. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.86: * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken in 3.85). * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information structure. *

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

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:
