[syslinux] FW: Headless operations

[Miller, Shao]

Heh.  I was just passing your e-mail on in case the Syslinux folks had
the opportunity to offer up some suggestions.  Now that I'm rested,
maybe you are interested in contacting the Fedora folks.  There might be
an IRC channel for them somewhere, where you could get some lively
support.  There might be a mailing list.  I'm afraid I don't know.
"Fedora support" might be good search terms for a web search.

I'm glad EXTLINUX is working for you, Chris!  If you need some help
again, and can't find answers on the Syslinux Wiki or in the Syslinux
downloadable package's doc/ directory, send a note along.

Take care and good luck in porting your Fedora installation to HDD,

- Shao Miller

Hi Shao,

Subtle as a hammer...

O.K., so I looked around some more.  I couldn't get a shell on any VT.
Is
there a magic trick that I don't know?   I did realize that part of the
problem involves confusion on the part of ... (do I know enough now to
mention it by name?) the LINUX kernel (Yes!) that is shepherding the
installation.  He wants to select between the RJ45 and the WiFi.  Once I
make that selection, I see a DHCPREQUEST and he responds to pings.

This has demonstrated that my problem has nothing to do with SYSLinux.
I
can clearly see on VT3 that the full set of additional kernel parameters
is
passed.  EXTLinux has done his job completely.

Since, it appears I'm going to be leaving you-all for a little while (I
have
one more question, but it should be on a new thread), I need to know who
I
would contact for assistance with the initrd that is used during the
distribution installation.  Anybody have any recommendations?

I can only hope that they are even half as helpful as you guys have
been.


Chris.

Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches.
