This could be useful for multi-booting (syslinux-based) partitions.Ĭhainloading syslinux from GRUB4dos (on different partitions) is Update: Based on your entry, I found the article "Grub chainloads syslinux and back", which basically says "patch grub":Ĭhainloading syslinux from GRUB seems not to be Then syslinux could load its own menu and whatnot. What I would really like is a way to have GRUB call syslinux/isolinux bootloader. Grub> kernel /ubuntu-9.10/install/mt86plus Finally, I tried at the GRUB command line: grub> root=(hd0,0) I also tried: grub> chainloader /syslinux/isolinux.binĪnd once again received the Error 13. At the GRUB commandline I then tried: grub> root=(hd0,0)īecause I have a second isolinux.bin file in that location, but GRUB responded with the same error. Kernel /ubuntu-9.10/syslinux/isolinux.binīut GRUB responded with an Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. Besides, I would like to keep as much of the current LiveCD/LiveUSB look-n-feel without porting the syslinux config over to GRUB.Īt the suggestion of ~quack I tried a menu.lst entry of: title Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD I could hunt down the needed menu.lst entries needed for GRUB, but the Ubuntu LiveUSB uses a fairly complicated syslinux configuration. I have a working jumpdrive, so I can pretty easily copy over the files. I would like to add the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD to this rescue usb drive. It works pretty well - I can boot Freedos and run some utilities,and I can boot PING. The USB's partition is bootable, and I have installed GRUB to the MBR of the jump drive.
