[RE-CLOSED]MD5SUM error on syslinux.tcz + running ok!
« on: August 11, 2011, 04:16:22 AM »
Yes, i've got the MD5SUM problem.

After reboot, i've tried to dowload an other .tcz : ok.
Problem again with syslinux.tcz.
And ok with an other .tcz after.

Daniel.

[Edit] Need to remove and try again to succed.

I've add max_loop=256 on the kernel command line.

Starting direcly to upload syslinux.tcl after booting : MD5 error.
If i press Remove and try again button i've got "mount: could not find any free loop device" ...

I am under the 3.8rc2 Tiny Core version.

When i'm using my syslinux program (V4.04) compiled under TCL, i've got the error :"sh: mcopy not found" and it fails to create ldlinux.sys.

Seems to be ok with TCL 3.8rc3.

There was a conflict with coreutils and util-linux, should be working in 3.8 final too.

RE OPEN:

In fact, the syslinux doesn't run OK.

After "syslinux /dev/sda1 --install" (or update), the syslinux line appears half a second and nothing more.

If i do syslinux (V4.02) under Ubuntu on the same usk key, boot is ok.
(if i do again the same under TCL, boot is KO).

When i'm using my syslinux program (V4.04) compiled under TCL, i've got the error :"sh: mcopy not found" and it fails to create ldlinux.sys.

What can i do ?

Thanks
Daniel.

If you build syslinux yourself, use the no-mtools variant. I'm not sure if that's a config option, or if it's in a different dir in syslinux 4.0.

syslinux v3.8  or Grub4dos  are the best fixes for all the syslinux 4.xx bugs    ;D

After a first look, i'm not sure mtools can be not used.

On an other side, i install mtools.tcz.
But i have errors:
Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument
Cannot initizlise 'S:'
Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys
./syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys

Due to an unrelated subject I've discovered that the Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument error will most likely be resolved if you install the glibc_gconv.tcz extension. Whether that also helps to resolve the other errors is unknown to me, but I'm sure you'll find out yourself.

I don't believe that 'glibc_gconv.tcz' should be made a direct dependency of 'mtools.tcz', but it would probably a good idea to include a hint in 'mtools.tcz.info'.

With 'glibc_gconv.tcz', my syslinux 4.04 is running (tested ok!).
The TCL syslinux 4.01 is running to (i don't try booting after).

Thank you very mutch, maro!  :D

not sure why - never could get syslinux to fly under tce
and can only get grub4dos to work WITH tce (won't work in DOS or a Windows prompt)


As for syslinux - when I type

sudo syslinux -s /dev/sdc1
it returns a message UNKNOWN OPTION -s - and a list of options which INCLUDE the -s ???????

and if I type
sudo syslinux /dev/sdc1
it returns a message POSSIBLY UNSAFE /TMP/ PERMISSIONS

???????
sdc1 is a USB Flash Drive, with a spanking new partition and formatted mkdosfs -F 32 and WILL accept:

1.  a grub4dos bootlace command when done by TCE

and

2. a syslinux -m -a -s F: - when done on a Windows PC

This error has been "forever" ... and I wonder if syslinux is bad? md5sum checks out ok.

??????????? HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if you try something like this:
Code: [Select]
$ sudo syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1
