LINUX OSIM OS Images › Add Syslinux.com to the OSIM image

Add Syslinux.com to the OSIM image

When you run the createOSImage command to create an OSIM image, it searches the package for the file "syslinux.com". If the file is available, createOSimage command extracts the file into the new created image. If syslinux*.rpm does not include syslinux.com or syslinux*.rpm does not exist, createOSImage writes a file syslinux_readme.txt, which includes an error message. In this case, you must manually add Syslinux.com after the OSIM OS image is created.

Note: Some SUSE 10.2 and RedHat Enterprise Server 5x distributions include older syslinux.com versions that do not work on newer hardware. If you have problems with a hanging syslinux.com, download the latest version from the Internet. Tests on syslinux.com version 3.60 and newer were successful.

To add syslinux.com to the OSIM image:

1. Download the latest syslinux.com from http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php.
2. Run the following command to show the path to the image directory:

   CreateOSImage -x
   

3. Copy syslinux.com to the image directory.
