[SOLVED] syslinux 6.2-03 error "menu.c32: not a COM32R image"

bernarcher · 2013-10-20 15:09:41

This happens after yesterdays upgrade on a bios boot system. Booting without menu works properly, however.

Neither symlinking *.c32 nor copying them using

cp /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux/

did help so far. Even copying all of /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/ as adviced in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1297101 works. Also a reinstall of syslinux did not change this behavior.

The /boot directory belongs to the standard / root partition in this setup so both methods should work.

Ok, just went through a lot of problems with recent update. Here's the problem:

I updates syslinux from 4.07-1 to 6.02-3 and got a broken boot menu kernel panic.
In 4.07-1 all syslinux modules are symlinked as follows:

chain.c32 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/chain.c32

rest of the modules follow suit
In 6.02-3, however the symlinks look like:

chain.c32 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/bios//chain.c32

And yes, the double slash IS there. I don't know if this is some magic that I'm unaware of.

Here's the relevant fragment of pacman.log.

Did you update your /boot/syslinux/ directory? This because the latest version seems to work without updating it...

Not sure what you mean. I simply ran 'pacman -Syu' and this happened:

I was referring to:

 If you used syslinux-install_update to install syslinux:
If you want to use syslinux with menu and all modules please rerun
# /usr/bin/syslinux-install_update -i -a -m
 
If you manually installed syslinux:
Please copy or symlink all .c32 modules to your /boot/syslinux directory.
If (/ and /boot on seperate fs):
# cp /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux
If (/ and /boot on same fs):
# ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux

In my case (cp /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux) causes breakage... Not running any of the commands listed above is not "really" updating syslinux.

karol · 2013-10-20 23:27:05

/boot/syslinux/SYSLINUX_AUTOUPDATE exists, so I assume '/usr/bin/syslinux-install_update -s' is run and that's what '[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] Syslinux BIOS update successful' means.

Perhaps this is only the case with testing enabled?

yanom · 2013-10-21 01:23:24

my arch currently can't boot because of this. I can access the system using arch-chroot while booted into the arch livecd, like you do during installation.

Is there a way for me to fix this (fixing the symlinks maybe) from within the arch-chroot? I don't use [testing] and I don't want to have to hold packages back, that gets messy.

I have the same issue. I can chroot in from a live USB arch, but I can't figure out how to solve the issue. I tried deleting all of the symbolic links in /boot/syslinux/ and I re-linked them, but that didn't do anything. I still get stuck in a loop at the syslinux boot menu.

djgera · 2013-10-21 01:52:13

Such message "menu.c32: not a COM32R image" comes from old ldlinux.sys (syslinux-4.0x), in other words, you update all *.c32 files but not the core bootloader (ldlinux.sys), run extlinux to update it.

bernarcher · 2013-10-21 03:32:37

There was obviously no /boot/syslinux/SYSLINUX_AUTOUPDATE present so the bootloader was not autmatically updated. Running

syslinux-install_update -u

did fix the issue.

Just to clarify: Has the /boot/syslinux/SYSLINUX_AUTOUPDATE to be put there manually?

Marking this thread SOLVED.

roobre · 2013-10-21 12:56:28

Hi there.
I have Archlinux installed on my laptops since about a year ago, dual-booting windows with syslinux.
This morning I did a `pacman -Syu`, and installed the last syslinux update. Later on, I powered off my PC, and now syslinux can't load any OS.

I have tried reinstalling syslinux, linux kernel, running mkinitcpio, syslinux-install_update, and even fsck. I got nothing.
My PC just reboots when I select any of my syslinux entries (but HDT and so on).

Do you guys have any hint out there? I'm out of clues, and really frustrated :\
Thanks in advance, and regards.

BTW, I append here the output of lsblk, fdisk, and syslinux.cfg:
lsblk: http://pastebin.com/MFiWZX5f
fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/NT8fxrRi
syslinux.conf http://pastebin.com/QuGfpY86

Simple question - and certainly not meant as flippant...

Did you run

# syslinux-install_update -i -a -m

with those specific flags as advised in the update notes afterwards? If not - it would probably help. You may still need to manually correct the generated syslinux.cfg

This will will ensure the updated mbr.bin is installed correctly.

jasonwryan · 2013-10-21 16:26:11

Merging with the exisiting thread: please search before posting..

Yes. I ran -iam and also -s, and -u.

Certainly, I don't think I'm having the same issue up there. I get no error messages. Just reboots.
And to clarify more: I completely deleted /boot, and reinstalled kernel and syslinux from the repos. Nothing.

Regards.

I had the same problem with a dual boot machine after the 6.02 update. Nothing worked. This message appeared on the Wiki the same day:

Syslinux (as of version 6.02) cannot access files from partitions other than its own. See http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33 for more info.

I fixed it by switching to grub. It was the only solution I could find.

karol · 2013-10-21 20:06:27

I've just updated my other computer and it all went OK. I'm not using [testing] on it and I'm using BIOS. syslinux boots as usual after running syslinux-install_update.

idrum4316 · 2013-10-22 02:19:37

I'm having the same problem as you, roobre. I even wiped my hard drive and did a reinstall using the latest image. The issue is still there. If I pick any of my syslinux entries, I get:

Loading ../vmlinuz-linux... ok
Loading ../initramfs-linux.img... ok

and then it reboots.

Since syslinux fails to boot if there is a version mismatch between /boot/syslinux/*.c32 modules and /boot/syslinux/ldlinux.sys (or hidden/embedded ldlinux.sys in btrfs), symlinking *.c32 is not a good idea. Also since syslinux modules depend on one another similar to dynamic library loading, it is better to copy all the *.c32 modules to /boot/syslinux. I have uploaded an updated syslinux-install_update script at https://gist.github.com/the-ridikulus-rat/5940114. I have also sent a mail to the devs requesting a pkg update with the updated script.
