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 everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

Hi! It's funny, but I was unable to find an answer to my question. I am building an embedded system (x86). I want to install syslinux on a fresh system. So, I am booting from a USB LINUX CD (Ubuntu 12.04 in this case). 1) I must have an ext2 partition (This is my application). 2) I understand that I must have a FAT partition (to install syslinux). Correct ? So, basically I understand that

Hi all, I have decided to adopt the following nomenclature going forward. I think it's a reasonable compromise between 14 years of history and the needs going forward, and IMO looks better than using all caps everywhere: - The project itself is the Syslinux Project. - It's primary product is Syslinux, a collection of bootloaders. - The main components of Syslinux are: - SYSLINUX,

3.80 is a bug fix and internal restructuring release. In particular, the entire shuffler subsystem has been rewritten largely from scratch, as has the Multiboot module. Changes in 3.80: * New shuffler mechanism and API. * Rewritten mboot.c32 module. * The syslinux_boot_linux() function has been simplified. * Don't hang trying to boot a "menu

Is there a tool that can tell me the real dos name to long dos name mappings of a file in linux? in windows? I can come close with using md5 sums but if there are copies of files then deleting the wrong one would be a problem area. In linux I normally have the boot partition mounted as vfat so that the default kernel installer can write files like normal. Is there an easy way to know the dos

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

Hello syslinux, I'm a newbie to extlinux, and I'm a developer from yocto project (an embedded linux project). The device or filesystem must be mounted before we can install the bootsector to the device if I understand correctly, for example: $ mount /dev/sdcX /tmp/mnt $ extlinux -i /tmp/mnt Usually, the mount command requires the root privilage, we may not have the root privilage when

I'm playing with syslinux 3.0x to get PC to boot from USB key... In particular, I'm giving a look at the "ZIP geometry hack" to get some more BIOS boot working with USB... Some question: - if we have a usbkey with a single partition, can we change the geometry without requiring to reformat the partition? Or is a reformat unavoidable? - at the moment we can use the "ZIP

Hello syslinux, Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block Also it can work with something like: $ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv or $ extlinux file_block --reset-adv We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in use), it will check whether the

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.
