similar to: Best method for booting logical partions via syslinux...

Hello, I''ve installed xen3 and asked myself whats better, image files or partions? I will prefer image files because of the flexible handling, but I''ve heard that real partions are faster. Thanks a lot for any hints? Daniel _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

Lately I've been finding that most versions of Syslinux no longer work in the various linux distros I use them in (primarily Mandriva 2006 and Finnix.) When I try to run binaries such as the extlinux it produces the error "bash: ./extlinux/extlinux: cannot execute binary file" which it says for each of the major binaries. As nearly as I can tell, everything but the scripts in fact.

Hi, i searched sometime but couldn't find any information where to obtain the key for the Ubuntu-Repositories. I use Debian Etch. Each time i do an apt-get update i get the following error message: W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 Any hint would

I''ve been using Xen strictly for PV for a while now, but I recently upgraded to hardware capable of HVM domUs. I''m trying to get a really basic HVM instance going so I can get my hands around making them work, in anticipation of using one to run a BSD to act as a firewall for other domUs on the machine. (I like PF.) Also, I might need run windows at some point, I suppose.

Hi, I saw a post you made on a forum quite some time ago about booting linux off a USB drive with compatible bios via ISOlinux. I'm currently trying to do the same thing and keep running into problems with my initrd. This is probably caused by the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing! I was wondering if you found any useful info on the net you could point me in the

Hello, I hope that somebody can help me, I am trying to boot Knoppix from the third parition of an ipod nano with out loosing the player capabilities.

I have inherited a system set up with multipath, which is not something I have seen before so I could use some advice The system is a Dell R420 with 2 LSI SAS2008 HBAs, 4 internal disks, and a MD3200 storage array attached via SAS cables. Oh and CentOS 6 lsblk shows the following: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdd 8:48 0 931.5G 0 disk ??sdd1

Hello, I can''t load the network in unprivileged domain with xen-unstable (Changset 8612). Xen boots fine and domain0 is OK.

Hello Since 2.4.20, we have problems with ext3. Machine is 2xPentium III (1GHz), 2GB RAM, 1GB swap.

I realize this is probably the wrong list but since some of the principals this list deals with are similar in nature I figured it could't hurt. What I am looking to do: Provide a solution to either boot from a floppy disk, establish a network connection, give user the ability to run utilities such as fdisk and dd. as well as provide the same solution as a PXE bootable image. My

I've Managed to over write my MBR and offcourse all my partions are gone (stupid me). i kept a backup of my MBR but silly me it's on the same disk that died. i have a rescue disk is there any way i can read from /dev/hda and go through the whole disk (RAW DATA) searching for "mbr backup file" and then read it. I am using EXT3 with slackware 8.1/RH 7.2 I am sorry my spelling is

Hi, It'm trying to put together Finnix, Knoppix, DSL, etc. on a single multi-bootable USB stick. The new syslinux capability to load a new config file is almost perfect for this purpose... apart that I can't find a way to change the current directory so that I can keep the unmodified config files of the different distributions in separate directories. That would cut down on manual

Hello there, complete off-topic, sorry about this, but my former idea was to install a CentOS on an old mac mini (PPC!). Disappointed to see that PowerPC is not a supported architecture and that non ARM or Intel architecture are not managed by recent distros.. :-(. Searching the web, I see very few possibilities to install a recent (I need gnome2) GNU/Linux distro on such hardware. I gave Linux

You probably mean this line: memcpy(mbr, &isohdpfx[hd0 + 3 * partok], MBRSIZE); The indize do not apply to bytes but to byte arrays of size MBRSIZE. extern unsigned char isohdpfx[][MBRSIZE]; (hd0 + 3 * partok)

I think I have solved my issue and would like some input from anyone who has done this for pitfalls, errors, or if I am just wrong. Centos 5.x, software raid, 250gb drives. 2 drives in mirror, one spare. All same size. 2 devices in the mirror, one boot (about 100MB), one that fills the rest of disk and contains LVM partitions. I was thinking of taking out the spare and adding a 500gb drive. I

Dear all, I encounter some covariance matrix with quite small eigenvalues (around 1e-18), which are smaller than the machine precision. The dimension of my matrix is 17. Here I just fake some small matrix for illustration. a<-diag(c(rep(3,4),1e-18)) # a matrix with small eigenvalues b<-matrix(1:25,ncol=5) # define b to get an orthogonal matrix b<-b+t(b) bb<-eigen(b,symmetric=T)
