Hi XOSL Group, I am setting up an old 266mhz computer with a DOS and a Linux Suse 9.0 personal edition. I vaguely remember problems I had a few years ago when...
... No. Previously you installed linux boot loader in the MBR. You need to install the linux boot loader in the linux root partition instead. Take the SUSE...
... Hi Dan, Norman, It's also a good idea to put XOSL in the optimum location - in a minimum (unformatted) 1-cylinder logical partition. That way it won't have...
Hi Dan, Short answer : Yes it will. But you must be sure to install LILO (or other Linux loader program) on the Linux partition. If I am not mistaken, on most...
Hi All, I've included XOSL in an Altiris backup image of a hard drive. When that image is deployed to new machines it seems you have to go through an operation...
Um. If I am not mistaken, the XOSL partition normally sits in its own partition and your image software is probably not smart enough to see it. So unless you...
My thought is that the XOSL component in the MBR may be missing. Dan does state that he's tried this with XOSL in a DOS partition, which I think would rule...
... Thanks everyone for your help. It is coming back to me now. The Suse install was not the most intuitive, I thought I told it to install in the root but...
Thanks for the responses to this issue. Yes I did try it in a DOS partition as well as a dedicated partition. Pretty much the same result. I failed to...
I installed Linux and then wanted to remove. To remove Linux, I booted from WinXP CD and went to recovery console. I run fixmbr and fixboot command. Upon...
hi all.. This is the first mail iam sending iam quite biginner to linux... i have one simple problem when iam configuring the n/w card... iam using AMD athlon...
Maybe use a second utility and a simple batch file to save the MBR prior to building the image (i.e., save the MBR somewhere that the file gets included in the...
Kailash This is usually indicative of your boot.ini file needing adjusting so that it is pointing to the correct location of your OSes files. The way you do...
Don't know if this is any use to anyone but... My main way of using XOSL is to have a clean drive, install one OS and then install XOSL onto that partition so...
... Hi Dan, One cylinder on any disk is the product of the (number of heads ) * (sectors per track) * 0.5KiB, which on any large [desktop] drive will be ...
... Hi Dan, You should get your employer to purchase DFSee [www.dfsee.com], which will use smart compression on an image of the entire disk from cyl 0 , head...
Thanks Craig. Your suggestion is the route I had to go. I didn't see your post until I had already set up a batch file using a program called MBRTOOL but the...
(This is the question I joined the list to ask.) I have xosl (1.1.5) installed on two machines. On one, I can access and change the preferences with no...
... Hi Bill, Well, XOSL definitely won't be in a WIN-or-anything-else-OS-boot-sector. In addition to "owning" the initial boot code in the MBR it is either in...
... Hi Bill, Just re-read your message and [not currently using XOSL, in fact not having used it for about 2 years ]realised that this was referring to using...
Hi Recently I tried a 40 gb harddisk to partition with partman244,ended up all become primary partitions.When I want to change my end cyliders to 254,63--the...
... I ended up with only primary partitions. ... max. partition size remains zero. Doc: Hopefully you understand that 254 is a head value and not a cylinder ...
Hi Doc Thanks for the reply. What my main concern is my 40 gb partitioned the following way 1--fat32--7gb 2--fat32--6gb 3--xosl--36mb 4--linux--6gb after this...
Hi All I solved this problem other way to suit my demands. Here the chronological 1.fdisk from the 98 startup disk 2.make 1 primary partition and the rest to...
I am interested in learning more about the 'workings' of XOSL with the hopes that I could contribute in some meaningful way, i.e. when I gain a confident and...
Mike Did you post this message before? Sounds familiar. I assume therefore that no one responded. It's a long time since I looked at the code for XOSL but, as...
Hi, does anyone have any information about how to run xosl _from_ a boot floppy or boot cd? Just so it's clear, I'd like xosl to come up as the bootloader...
