Booting from the USB requires that there is a syslinux directory to boot off of. In EL6, there is only isolinux, which is what booting from a DVD uses. You should be able to copy isolinux to syslinux, rename the files from s/iso/sys/ and then update syslinux.cfg to point to the USB drive to boot from. Here's an example from my setup: ==== LABEL next MENU LABEL ^A) Boot the next device

Downloaded 6.8 DVD1.iso, dd to stick. Went through same selections I have gone through since 6.2, only this time it got to the end and stated it couldn't find rear, which is under "backup client". OK, try it again without rear. This time it's yum-plugin-ovl from base (?). Then chrony, also in base (?). Then flightrecorder, libreswan, at least 2 of openmpi & co. and

Hello List, Today someone in a meeting claimed the Bourne shell is deprecated, one of the reasons being it supposedly has security issues. Well that's all news to me, and I cannot find anything online to corroborate the claim. Is this true, is it a bash vs. Bourne FUD, or something else? Thanks, Jack

Hey, I am trying to upgrade my kickstart usb key to 6.0 and I ran into a few issues. I boot with: ? append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:sdb2:/ks.cfg repo=hd:sdb2:/centos and in the ks.cfg I have: ? harddrive --partition=sdb2 --dir=/centos and on sdb2 I have: ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso It fails from the beginning unless I add /images

hi everyone, I know this update has been a bit delayed, things have been pretty hectic. But lots of good updates for everyone: Distro -------- * Updates for CentOS Linux 5/7 : All updates from upstream are released into the CentOS mirror network. * Upstream 6.7 was released a few days back, we have all the rpms from that release built and released to the early-adopters into the CentOS-CR repos

I downloaded the CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso and CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD12.iso and tried to burn them to a DVD but both Windows 7 and IOS ( MacBook Pro ) do not recognize these as valid isos. What am I doing wrong? -- ----------------- Hal Wigoda Chicago

Hi Everybody: I am trying to get virt-install to work with a kickstart file that is on the local file system.

All, Is syslinux 6.03 able to UEFI boot the RHEL7.0 Linux kernel? I'm trying & failing to do this. I haven't UEFI-booted RHEL7.0 kernel via syslinux before. (But I have UEFI pxelinux booted Fedora 20, which is approximately RHEL7.0.) I remember HPA mentioned that older Linux kernels required "UEFI boot assist", something that GRUB2 offers but syslinux does not. And
