@tj @DianeBruce @tykling I don't think this has been merged yet, and I was tracking it, because I used it to build out a lab on #Cisco #UCS metal using #Cobbler for my doctoral work over a decade ago. There was a dependency on #SYSLINUX #MEMDISK and to pick up Cobbler's "kernel command line" for injecting options before the provisioning server can be reached required #loader modifications, some of which have since been implemented and are tracked in #Phabricator .

Hey #Linux users. This is probably going to be extremely geeky and technical and I'm fully expecting not to understand any of the answers I'm going to receive, if any, but...
If a Linux Distro's official ISO is built using an older version of SysLinux which has since been depreciated, and no newer ISO exists, is there a way to manually rebuild the ISO to use an up-to-date SysLinux instead?

For anyone woundering "why do you use the latest @linux #Kernel release?"
Well, I want OS/1337 to be basically 'rolling release' in that I can't be bothered #backporting stuff and I just want to pull the #releases straight from said projects.
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/blob/main/build/0.CORE/build/sources.list.tsv
* Okay, I've not listed #syslinux & #mkdosfs and #dd which I used in making the #Floppy image but those basically don't really change much at all. We all know how #FAT12 works...

I mean I'd love to target some #embedded tech like the #WeeCee or #Wee86...

So feel free to contribute to OS/1337 if you have some idea to get things shrunk down for #i486 to ≤1440kB…Cuz at this point it needs to fit #Linux #Kernel, #toybox, #dropbear (or rather #dbclient which is the #SSH-client - only functionality) and #syslinux to boot...
So that one can at least do username + password logins using SSH.

@thundergod97 Here is the PXE Boot working. Next is to add all of the other ISO, etc #linux #syslinux #pxeinstall #vmware #homelab

This is what I get for trying to remove the #syslinux copyright line through editing the binary. I thought I was smart, but I'm not.
Why I wanted to remove it: It was too long and the line break annoyed me.
Luckily, I should still be able to boot the system using #EFI.
Why I am using syslinux: The #linux driver for #samsung laptops has more features when in #BIOS mode.
-
Anyone have any idea what's up with this #archlinux vm? After booting into a rescue system I can chroot into it just fine, reinstall #syslinux (in BIOS mode), reinstall the kernel, rerun mkinitcpio and even did a forced fsck including badblocks check over night. Nothing helped.

Alright, next milestone reached: My new host is getting the syslinux.efi file from the Bootserver. Now to actually configure it.
Also: Far too much time spend fighting a permission problem thinking it was NFS, though it actually was the mount directory itself having the wrong perms. 🤦♂️
