Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

Exit the menu with ESC and invoke the label at the boot: prompt. -- Feri.

Hi, I hit a rather strange problem. I'm PXE booting an IBM Blade. It has a BMC which provides serial over LAN via the BladeCenter management module. Its BIOS has a "Console Redirection" option, which dumps its VGA console messages to a serial port. "Redirection after Boot" is disabled, but pxelinux runs "before boot", so everything arrives twice on the serial

Hi, This is my current patch queue. The patches are independent, AFAIK, so feel free to cherry-pick or reject them independently. The bottom one was needed for a successful build here; the top one contains all the modifications you requested on IRC, and more. Meanwhile I hit one of the four stray TABs in tftpd.c, and decided to get rid of them. Comments welcome. --- Ferenc Wagner (5):

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

In order to create a paravirtualized guest/DomU, should i use the same distro as the host/dom0 is?

Hi, Has anybody got an idea what may be wrong in this Debian bug (http://bugs.debian.org/604194)? I will try to look into this more, but have to sleep first...

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

Hi! The linux.c32 module doesn't boot my kernel, while pxelinux itself does: kernel vmlinuz-2.6.23 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root works, while kernel linux.c32 append vmlinuz-2.6.23 initrd=initrd.img-2.6.23 root=/dev/mapper/root does not: it stays sitting after loading the initrd without any output. Version 3.50-pre2 worked, current git does not work.
