When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

Thanks all, I did find extlinux in "my syslinux tarball" (I think that I understand my confusion now - I will explain at the end). So, now almost everything is fine...... Clearly my extlinux.conf is working (I can see my output on the console (SAY XXX)) I have a bzImage + rootfs.tar I tried : 0) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/MyMountForSda1 -->> success 1) cd /mnt/MyMountForSda1

Hi! I have the same situation, but some more information : 1) I have tried to change the last line to "APPEND root=/dev/sda1", it did not seem to make any difference 2) If I type ENTER at the prompt, syslinux loads the kernel (but with the same results mentioned above). So, clearly I have a problem with my extlinux.conf. Thanks Mau On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Mau Z

Hi I understand you (mostly). 0) How do i "install the MBR code as well and to activate your partition." 1) "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" -->> successfully completed. 2) "mkdir /mnt/extlinux" -->> successfully completed. 3) "extlinux --install /mnt/extlinux" -->> does not work. Funny, but it it seems that there is no such thing as

the closest i have gotten to a consistent way to test a MS-DOS filesystem setup is: dd if=/dev/zero of=binary.img bs=1M count=500 i="$(losetup -f --show binary.img )" parted binary.img mklabel msdos -s -m dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of="${i}" parted binary.img mkpart primary -a optimal -s -m 0% 100% parted binary.img set 1 boot on mkfs.ext4 $(kpartx -savu "${i}"

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

Hi all, This maybe a newbie question in which case I apologise hugely. While I'm not new to Linux I am new to bootloaders :-/ I would like to install a custom CD distribution on a system via serial interface (that bit I can do) but the system doesn't have a CD-ROM drive! I'm trying to copy the ISO to the disk and boot from that. So far I have done this... - Net boot the system

Hi folks! In my system i have a SSD card, and i try to install extlinux in it. But, my extlinux installation not work!! I make a initrd to boot my machine on lan, and my init execute a installation of extlinux version 3.86 on my SSD card. The installation on init is similar to: http://pastebin.com/szcYCCjR The return of installation of extlinux is: /mnt is /dev/sda1 And the install not report

Hello, today I upgraded from Syslinux 4.06 to to Syslinux 5.00. But now the system won't boot anymore and I get the message Failed to load ldlinux.c32 Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue What I have done: 1) Installed Syslinux 5.00 2) Reinstalled "mbr.bin" to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb using dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc

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

Hi All, I am trying to install extlinux on a fresh system. Here are my steps : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A) Create an ext2 partition. I did the following steps : 1) boot from CD 2) Activate GParted 3) Create Partition table on the "fresh disk" (/dev/sda). 4) Create 1 ext2 partition (and mark its flag as "boot"). B)mkdir /mnt/Ext2_partition C) mount /dev/sda1

Hello all, I am trying to replace grub with extlinux without any luck. I did remove the grub from my root Partition and boot from a LiveCD. I install syslinux and did those steps Boot Partition: mkdir -pv /mnt/sda1 mke2fs -jv /dev/hda1 mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1 Root Partition export SDB1=/mnt/sdb1 mkdir -pv $SDB1

Hello, I use the extlinux bootloader, and I've recently discovered that the current version can no longer boot Windows. The message it flashes is "Requested partition not found!" After downgrading to the version 3.86, it was able boot correctly. Unfortunately, I do not know in which was the last version which was able to boot Windows (I rarely boot it), but I am pretty sure that

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

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)

Hi , I ve tested the pclinux minime on usb 1Gb and later 8Gb, with fat32 and syslinux boot , works splendid in Ram , and persistant saves on stick.. Now i want to try extlinux-boot with ext2 or 3 on the usb. With ext3 , i get constantly bumped to commandline, where i could type in the vmlinuz and initrd paths , but it cant make the loop-file of minime work..so it gets little panic :* But it wont
