similar to: SERIAL

I had an isolinux config that was working with Kontron CG2100s for serial console with console redirection enabled in the BIOS (and attaching via SOL through an Intel RMM3 module) - for some reason I had to set serial port 1 instead of 0 in the config (even though the physical port is 0, and the RMM is supposed to just be redirecting the physical port), but it worked. A tester on a different

With this config: $ head -n2 isolinux/isolinux.cfg serial 0 9600 default vesamenu.c32 via the "Raw File Port Mode - VirtualBox" I got this: $ file /tmp/serial0.txt /tmp/serial0.txt: empty For the kernel log this in turn works OK: console=ttyS0 console=tty0 ignore_loglevel Is it really needed, exclusively a physical serial connection for the isolinux debug?

Hi, I have a problem with isolinux failing to boot a kernel whenever I navigate and trigger the menu via serial console. My test machine is a DL585 G2, with iLO2. Navigating and booting the kernels off of the video console works 100% of the time. With the serial connection however, I _sometimes_ get a "menu.c32: not a COM32R image" error. Sometime it works fine. I suspect the serial

We modified our copy of syslinux. We're now sharing those modifications. That's so that: 1. We fulfill our requirements under the GPL 2. Our modifications might be picked up and included in the base code. That way we wouldn't have to make the same modifications, again, later. Since we're using CentOS 5.3, and CentOS 5.3 derives from RHEL 5.3, and RHEL 5.3 uses

Hi, I'm missing something in my isolinux.cfg configuration but I'm not quite sure what it is. menu.c32 displays properly over video console, but on the serial connection, the first letter of the labels are duplicated, and the margin is pushed off towards the right: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59666947/isolinux.jpg my config is: --- cut --- 1. serial 0 115200 2. console 0 3. 4.

I have a need to display text to COM2 before loading a kernel. The easiest way to do this was to invade menu.c32 (menumain.c) and add a function to send the string out to the serial port just before the selected menu "label" is executed. In menumain.c, my function is called just before 'if (cmdline)'. The code I wrote to initialize the hardware and send individual characters

Hello list, I am trying to use the console to setup my machine. During boot I am able see the syslinux boot prompt on the serial console *and* the monitor, but I can not use the console keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. After the kernel is loaded, the console keyboard starts working, but, this does not help me much, since I still need to use the keyboard

Hello all, I'm trying to use the console to setup our cluster. In the past, we used a floppy and it worked just fine. We had to manually use the "ks=" argument. Now, I actually see the "menu" on the serial console *and* the monitor but I can't use the keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. Unplugging the keyboard doesn't help.

Greetings, I'm using isolinux and I'd like to make it spawn serial consoles to all four devices (ttyS{0..3} / COM{0..3})... if spawning on just one (serial 0 38400), everything works great, however, should I attempt to spawn on all four, no console is available at all. How come? The relevant part of isolinux.cfg: serial 0 38400 serial 1 38400 serial 2 38400 serial 3 38400 Thanks in

Hello List, I'm ironing out details to upgrade a few systems to CentOS7. My servers have BMC with Serial over LAN support. In C5 and C6, I determined how to have BIOS/POST, kernel, and serial console access. I'm reading up on the method to accomplish the pieces with C7. Presently SoL output works, so I see BIOS/POST messages and the GRUB boot list. My changes to enable serial

I'm new to the ISOLINUX development cycle, and I've tried a few times to come up with a solution. I'm trying to recompile isolinux.bin to look for the config files in a directory other than root, /boot/isolinux, or /isolinux. Ideally, this directory would be /lpc/isolinux. I've tried changing the plain text values in isolinux.asm to reflect these changes and recompiling using

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been using the standard isolinux.cfg file for some time with great success. Have it currently display a file at the beginning with a little .lss graphic file, and some basic info then with the image names and info. Also have 4 of the help files linked to the F1 - F4 keys. But I just had a number of emails back

Hi All, I'm trying to add a config option in my isolinux.cfg file but I keep getting an error. This is what the part with the config statment looks like: LABEL config CONFIG isolinux2.cfg Basically I just want the option to reload a completely different config file when booting isolinux and not just a menu that comes after the first isolinux.cfg file. Thanks

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

This gives me a "pure" set of modules as well as "pure" isolinux and syslinux cores. 6.04 hasn't seen a full release, only the pre1 pre-release. >
