Just ran the script on my virtualbox archserver. And afterwards on a virtualbox archlinux. Unfortunately it's not working. I get the error:
Could not find /boot/syslinux is /boot mounted? Is syslinux installed?
I only installed package syslinux and then ran the script. ./syslinux.sh -i -m -a
The usage mentions the use of a -c switch, but this does not change anything. Actually I can see it tries to find the path //boot/syslinux when using -c / Guess the switch is only used when you want to install on a mounted chroot system.
I am running the script from within the system I wish to install it on.
pacman -Q syslinux returns syslinux 4.03-1
The folder /boot/syslinux in reality does not exist in the system yet. So that is probably the reason for the error I get. Is it intentional that the script checks for /boot/syslinux? or should that have been just /boot?
If you need additional information, just let me know.
BR The script intentionally checks for /boot/syslinux because com32 modules get copied their.
Syslinux from testing contains an example config file, /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg, therefore creating /boot/syslinux. You can either install the syslinux package from testing or you can mkdir /boot/syslinux and create syslinux.cfg (http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/syslinux/trunk/sys...). Make sure to edit the kernel options (root, nomodeset, etc..) in the config file. pyther
