  Sure. Thanks again for the prompt help - very appreciated. As I see I am trying to do what only few have done wrt Xen dom0 to package as bootable iso with ramdisk.   Now error below Xen dom 0 is trying to bring up Linux:   <..clipped..> md: ... autorun DONE.

I am running isolinux 4.02 and ramdisk_size does not seem to have an effect on the ramdisk size. No matter what I set it to in the isolinux.cfg file it seems the limit is 32768. I get the error: ram0: rw=0, want=360456, limit=32768 EXT2-fs error (device ram0): My isolinux.cfg file: LABEL EB KERNEL vmlinuxE APPEND initrd=bos.img root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=545000 I am running the 2.6.38.2

I have a Lilo.conf file, which I have tried for many hours to convert to Syslinux. I looked around on the web for references on translating some of the components. I want to convert it to Syslinux/Isolinux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. When I tried to convert it I made sure that the kernel and initrd had proper DOS names and such. -Michael =:LILO.CONF:= prompt timeout=10

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

hi everyone, I am trying to create a custom live cd but I am having some problems with isolinux. A rough sketch of my process : 1) bootstrapped a small rpm based system in /target 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=images/initrd.img bs=1k count=262144 3) /sbin/mke2fs -F -v -m0 images/initrd.img 4) mount -o loop images/initrd.img ./initrd_tmp 5) cp -av /target/* ./initrd_tmp 6) umount 7) gzip -9 <

Hi Dongyang, Yan, When testing BTRFS with RAID 0 metadata on linux-3.3, we see discard ranges exceeding the end of the block device [1], potentially causing dataloss; when this occurs, filesystem writeback becomes catatonic due to continual resubmission. The reproducer is quite simple [2]. Hope this proves useful... Thanks, Daniel --- [1] attempt to access beyond end of device ram0: rw=129,

I am trying to create a bootable cd from a working LFS 6.1 partition. Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this. This is the error I get: ISOLINUX 3.10 2008-08-24 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: lfskernel-2.6.11.12 boot : _ under /isolinux/ I have these files: isolinux.bin I've tried 3.10 and 3.09 isolinux.cfg: default livecd label livecd

Howdy, I know that syslinux doesn't currently support this, but does anyone here know how I might go about getting some sort of boot process together that would have a single firmware image as opposed to seperate files for initrd, kernel, and root fs? Thanks.

Good afternoon. I am trying to make a 32M DiskonChip2000 boot Linux (kernel version 2.2.20) but I'm having difficulty. It begins fine, loading most of the kernel, but halts immediately after the "Freeing unused kernel memory: 52K freed." step. The implication seems to be that my ramdisk is not being mounted/executed properly. My syslinux.cfg file is as follows: timeout=0

I''m continuing to work on making a new XenCD as previously discussed here. In the course of that work, I''ve generated (actually, currently stuck on) the enclosed crash dump. Thought I''d forward it for interest. To head off questions, you''ll see references to a very large initrd (~114 Mb). The Xen dump may or not be related to this unusual usage.

I have a project g4l that uses syslinux and have been working on the next version. I installed the 3.74 pre5, and it worked just fine. But I was doing a test, and booted the systems, and usually pick the default kerenel or one of the other kernels on the CD before it times out with 60 seconds. But this time, I didn't do that. It loaded the default kernel with no problem, but then gives

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

There is a maximum of 255 characters of parameters you can pass to the kernel. At least that's what I recall, but I may be wrong. -----Original Message----- From: Roberto De Leo [mailto:deleo at unica.it] Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 5:19 PM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: [syslinux] maximum number of characters in APPEND Hi, I wonder whether there is a maximum number of

I have an interesting situation where I am loading gpxelinux.0 v3.72 from pxelinux.0 ( older ).

After download of Xen4.0, Is there a simple way to disable to not download from git implicitly ? (I already did it offline and would like to use that build instead.) Idea is: "make world" would not enforce git automatically. Any suggestions ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

The simplest solution and the one already implemented in linux, tmpfs. It would be best to allocate 4-8GB to tmpfs on /tmp and let the kernel do the work it was designed to do. And you would not be limited to PCI bus speeds. The DDR2800 is about 12GB/sec. Some would say "overheads, etc, etc". Agreed, even at 95% loss (doubtful) you still get higher badwitch then PCI bus/hard rive could
