Ifcpu.c32
From Syslinux Wiki
ifcpu.c32 is a comboot module for Syslinux that checks some CPU flags and loads the appropriate label in a Syslinux configuration file.
This module is available in Syslinux 3.84 or later. Some options were added in later versions.
Requirements
- working Syslinux environment
- two booting entries (labels)
Syntax
ifcpu.c32 <options> <cpu_features> -- first_label -- second_label |
When ifcpu.c32 is used with no additional parameters, the usage help is printed.
If the cpu_features match the current host, then first_label is loaded, else let's boot second_label.
The use of "--" is required!
Options
- debug
- display some debugging messages
- dry-run
- just do the detection, don't boot
CPU Features
- 64
- CPU has to be x86_64 compatible
- hvm
- Processor must have hardware virtualization (hvm or svm)
- hypervisor
- Processor is running under an hypervisor
- multicore
- Processor must be multi-core
- pae
- Processor features Physical Address Extension (PAE)
- smp
- System has to be SMP
If you want to match several cpu features, just separate them with a single space.
Example
LABEL test COM32 ifcpu.c32 APPEND 64 hvm multicore -- boot_entry_1 -- boot_entry_2 LABEL boot_entry_1 KERNEL vmlinuz_64 APPEND ... LABEL boot_entry_2 KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND ... |
