syslinux error on USB flash drive

downinthemine · 06-20-2004, 09:36 PM

I am trying to get Feather Linux to work on my 128MB flash drive. I am having problems with syslinux. See below:

Code:

root@slacktop:/sources/syslinux-2.10# syslinux /dev/sdb1
Total number of sectors not a multiple of sectors per track!
Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this test
Broken pipe

I cannot find the .mtoolsrc file anywhere. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy

You can try adding the line "mtools_skip_check=1" to your mtools.conf file

I am unable to find that file. Any suggestions as to where syslinux stuck it after I compiled and installed it?

Just create the file yourself :

echo "mtools_skip_check=1" >> ~/.mtoolsrc
