Hi Folks, When I boot ISOLinux, the locally attached disk is visible but the PATA 40 Gig in a USB attached enclosure is not. The locally attached disk has no bearing on what I am doing and to avoid confusion will not be mentioned again. Everything is happening on the 40 Gig. Let me explain. The goal is: Copy an installation iso to the disk, boot the disk and install it on that disk. I have

Hello fellow syslinux/extlinux users! Please forgive the long post, but I believe my problem warrants the background info to understand the issue. I've developed a specialized spin of Fedora that runs off CompactFlash. The spin is actually produced by the livecd-tools package and is then transferred to the CF card -- which has been formatted with ext3 -- using livecd-tools'

Hi Folks, GRUB claims to provide a feature that I want, but that doesn't really work. With GRUB you can presumably run GRUB from the command line of a shell and see the menu of boot options that would be presented if you were actually booting. You can select a stanza from the configfile and invoke it right then and there causing the machine to reboot as though you had selected this option

Hello, First of all, thanks very much for this piece of software, it's working like a charm. I'm using it to boot a Linux distro I'm working on. What I want to deal with is the display of accented characters in ISOLINUX. First, I set EXTLINUX up to boot an ext2-formatted USB stick. No problem so far. I wrote a config file ordering to load a font (lat-9w) to display french

After so much time and improvements, I'm glad to see and publicize a pre-release, 6.04-pre1 in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ Personally, I've already been working testing the pre-release as-is and my tests have been positive so far. I appreciate feedback like that from Gabriele Balducci and testing "make bios installer". Yes, there are a

That's an old directive that was "replaced" by the equivalent 'F10' directive (so you test it in the same exact way). BTW, in other distribution media such as Debian's ISO images, it is already changed from "f0 f10.txt" to

Is there a way to use kickstart to boot a machine into a manual setup process? Basically what I'm getting to is this, the machine doesn't not have a CD drive in it (nor can I add one), but I can boot it via kickstart. The install media is on the network. What I'd like to do is boot this machine up and rather than have kickstart do everything for me as far as installing the OS and

I am trying to setup a portrait mode screen. I can see that in 3.85, there is an enhancement which allows arbitrary resolutions (http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commitdiff;h=5d4ade0221c2387345d0a82422866bb8b937cb09). Can I use this new feature to achieve setting the portrait mode. What is the syntax in the config file to set it? Also, is there any other vesa driver

Hi all, Someone played with kickstart bonding with centos 6.4 ? CentOS 6.4, as upstream now support ifcae bonding in kickstart network section. I've an issue with configuring a second bonding iface in kicstart on CentOS 6.4. The first bonding (bond0) works as espected but the second is not configured during installation. I've a 6 nic server (two for "puclic" network, two for

hello, quick question about extlinux: I accidentally installed extlinux on the wrong partition (I run extlinux -i somewhere beofre mounting my usb key to somewhere). Now extlinux seems to be stuck in my main hd partition... how do I remove extlinux from the hard drive? I mean both the extlinux.sys file and the bits in the partition table... Could not find any info how to doit. Thanks. Paolo

Hello All, I seem to have run into a bug with the new --bridgeslaves=<INTERFACE> option. It would seem that if I tell the bridge device to use a virtual interface (like bond0) rather than a physical interface (em1/em2) that kickstart completely barfs on it. I have provided my network section below which works fine as long as i don't enable all the bridge content. When the

Hi, I'm kickstarting a vm in ESXi 5.1. ks.cfg is on floppy, install media is ISO file. This works great as long as I don't add an additional repo, in our case it is vmware tools on one of our webservers. If I add the repo line, anaconda asks then for the used network card and indeed, switching to console the interfaces are still unconfigured. Chosing eth0 in gui continues the

I am getting the following error on boot on a new install Centos 51: #/bin/sh ro no such file or directory then a kernel panic I have traced it to the call ''switchroot'' in the init script in the initrd. the exact same build without zen has no problems. the boot messages look like: Attaching to iSCSI storage iscsistart: transport class version 2.0-724. iscsid version 2.0-865

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

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i
