similar to: Failure to boot isohybrid image from USB stick

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

Hi, we are the developers of an alternative to mkisofs: program xorriso from libburnia-project.org . The current development cycle is about support for creating bootable CDs, DVDs, BDs. So we look for testers and for advise about ISOLINUX specifics. The example from the ISOLINUX wiki is supposed to work if you replace "mkisofs" by "xorriso -as mkisofs". I.e: xorriso -as

Hi, i have implemented in xorriso the equivalents of isohybrid.c options --mac and --uefi. There remains the question how to ensure that the submitted MBR is prepared for the 32 byte mock-up of an APM Block0. I see in git of may 2012 that all mbr/isohdp[fp]x*.bin begin by 33 ed 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90

If it complains about a kernel then it should be past El Torito or GPT. The job of xorriso is to point BIOS and EFI to their boot images. Everything else is in the scope of the boot images resp. the operating system that shall

We been trying to boot the image in vbox using efi emulation but it complains about kernel not supporting handover. Anyways, I will take your advice and get back to you tomorrow. I think we might be getting close to a successful boot on Mac OSX hardware and any other UEFI capable hardware. Thanks for your help and tomorrow I should come with more data to debug. P.S the latest fedora ISO seems

The relation of both is: isohybrid.in/.pl is being left behind. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/utils/Makefile has: SCRIPT_TARGETS += isohybrid.pl # about to be obsoleted isohybrid.c replaces it feature-wise and adds new features. Only those new features contain the bugs,
