Server :: Make Bootable Iso Of RHEL5.2 - Error 'no-emul-boot'

I am having a problem making an iso image using mkisofs. I currently have all the files I want to make a RHEL5.2 iso image from in /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64. There are the typical directories needed for a RHEL distro in here.

General :: Make Grub Keep Its Default Boot Under Kernel Updates?

Jan 30, 2010

I dual-boot my machine and I want it to default to boot into windows so that whenever I restart the machine remotely from my home it will be able to get back into Windows (instead of Ubuntu).

The problem is that every time Ubuntu upgrades the kernel, I have to reset the default boot item of grub back to windows. This is because the grub menu loader uses positions i.e. 6 for default OS to boot. And when Ubuntu installs a new kernel it changes that order.

I am looking for a way to configure grub to remember its default boot item under kernel updates.

General :: Looking For Way To Make Grub Keep Its Default Boot Under Kernel Updates ?

Sep 29, 2010

Possible Duplicate:Make grub keep its default boot under kernel updates.I have just installed Linux with my windows 7 pre-installed and i got it working fine. Since i use windows 7 more than linux, i would like to have "Windows 7" option on the top of "Linux" option.

"When i have turn on my computer, the first thing i see is an Option asking me whether i want to use windows 7 or Linux and there's a countdown timer below it which is 10seconds countdown and if i don't select it on time, it will automatically select the first choice which at the moment i've got Linux pre-set as my first choice."

General :: Make A Bootable USB Flash Drive Manually?

Jan 28, 2011

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. [URL] I took following steps:

1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded

Code:

root@martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage
usb_storage 39585 1
root@martin-desktop:~#

2) inserted USB flash drive

Code:

root@martin-desktop:~# tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages
Jan 29 01:43:23 martin-desktop kernel: [440650.637531] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
Jan 29 01:43:23 martin-desktop kernel: [440650.776107] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[code].....

When I set "USB flash drive" as a first bootable device in BIOS, I get SYSLINUX "boot:" prompt and it loads both "vmlinuz" and "initrd.gz", but finally I end up in BusyBox prompt and following message:

Quote:

"Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"

Last boot message which I see is "Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0".what might cause such behavior? Did I miss anything while preparing USB flash drive?

General :: Bootable Kernel Image Creation

Apr 20, 2010

the things i've tried:

1. Created an asm bootloader code that calls a c function which just prints a hello message.
2. Compiled both and linked them using LD command using a .ld file available.

Steps followed from http://wiki.osdev.org/Bare_bones.I get a kernel.bin file which is of ELF format. I've set up a tftp server using tftpd32 tool and created the necessary pxelinux.cfg files.

Now how do i create a bootable kernel image out of the elf file. The steps given in the above website to create an image doesn't help.

General :: Make USB Bootable Stick For Installing Fedora Or Centos Using VNC?

Sep 3, 2011

I have a PC with no option for a keyboard. I have to install the operating systems without a keyboard or mouse.

I have to make a bootable USB stick which can allow me to connect to the PC from my Laptop with a VNC connection, then the complete installation using IP to IP. I did this with the following:

Download [URL] Extract the files of .iso to my laptop Add the manual file in CentOS-6.0-i386-minimal/isolinux/ks.cfg

install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Europe/Brussels
rootpw --iscrypted $6$i5qEWD.
selinux --disabled

[Code]....

This allows you to modify your original iso files with the new contents and pack it as one .iso file

Finally load unetbootin and burn to your USB or disk or CD

General :: Thinstation Bootable Cd Stuck At 'Booting Kernel'

Jan 14, 2011

First off im very new to linux and have only been involved with linux for a couple days. Anyways, let me explain what i'm attempting todo. I want to make a DVD to automatically restore a partition without any human interaction other than inserting the dvd and turning the pc on. I'm using norton ghost 11.5 to restore the image and im using thinstation 2.2 as my OS.I have a cd that will boot up thinstation but then i would have to type in a command to have ghost start restoring the partition. so basically i figured i would put a script in the etc/init.d folder of initrd. so i extracted the contents of initrd using 7zip, put the script in the directory and then compressed initrd into .gz format. however now when i put the newly made dvd in i get stuck at "Booting the Kernel."

is this a problem with initrd format? if so what format does it need to be in and how to i get it into that format?is there some way to set the parameters of the kernel to fix this problem? and if so how do i go about doing that?

Fedora :: Can't Boot After New Kernel Upgrade / Make It Possibla?

Oct 14, 2009

I cant boot into Fedora 10 using the latest kernel. It just hangs after grub, I can still boot into an older kernel. The problem is its a fresh install that I ran a full update on straight away, and now I cant install videoaudio drivers because the kernel-header packages (and others) are installed for the latest kernel. Is there any boot parameters I can try to add when booting that might help?

General :: Boot - Configure Bootloader For Usb Bootable?

Apr 8, 2011

I've installed CentOS 5.5 64-bit on an external WD 500GB HDD. I went through the installation setup, and formatted the external HDD normally. (100M /boot, 250GB /, 248GB /tmp , 2.8GB swap). I also installed grub in the external HDD's MBR. After installation, I could boot up Linux on the same platform (Arrandale). However, as soon as I took it to a different platform such as Atom Pineview D525, it had all kind of problem on Grub, such as Grub Hard Disk Error, or it just hanged on grub loading stage {1.5,2}. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I would get to grub command prompt, but rarely I could boot up. I would stuck at mounting file system.

I've searching a lot on Google, and people suggested to reinstall Grub, so I tried various method to reinstall Grub, but the same behaviors still exist. I can't guarantee the drive will boot...

General :: Can't Just Copy A Bootable CD To USB Drive And Boot From It

Aug 15, 2011

I would like to understand the following:

I have a Debian installation CD that I can boot from. Now I copied that to an USB-stick using dd

dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sdc bs=1M

The CD-image should contain a boot-sector and everything else that is needed for booting, yet the USB stick does not boot.

What am I missing - why does the stick not boot?

PS: I am not interested in tips on how to create a bootable stick, I only want to understand why the above method does not work.

Since I can't boot to an .iso disk, is there any other way to do this? I can transfer files to it via USB thumbdrive or download via Internet.
