It has been a long time since I had anything to do with syslinux. From reading at this link, https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config it was contemporary with lilo as the main bootloader, but for booting install media (including floppies, where I recall it from). I thought it might be obsolete because of its age, but it turns out that there are several packages that are dependent on it (I used dnf to try to remove it, and there they were). After perusing the link above a little, I think that any default extlinux.conf file in /boot/extlinux/ would be incorrect, as it needs the location of the kernel and the kernel options added [1], and they need to be relative to the file system on the media. Anyway, at the link above there is a sample extlinux.conf that you could try, after putting in the kernel you actually want to boot, and the kernel options you want to use. If it works, you could then update the ticket with that information, and the extlinux.conf file that worked, so that it could be added to the package if there is a kind soul willing to do the work. Or, since they will likely be more knowledgeable than I am, they might be able to explain why it wouldn't work. 1. This could be automated by changing grubby so that when a new kernel is installed, the options are added to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf the same way they are to the boot stanzas in /boot/loader/entries. But that again requires someone to do the work. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
