Package: syslinux Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-7 Severity: normal
The '-s' option to syslinux is not recognised. It is mentioned in the command-prompt help and in the man page but the program cannot cope with it: rah@myrtle:~$ syslinux -s /dev/sdd1 syslinux: invalid option -- 's' syslinux: Unknown option: -s Usage: syslinux [options] device --offset -t Offset of the file system on the device --directory -d Directory for installation target --install -i Install over the current bootsector --update -U Update a previous EXTLINUX installation --zip -z Force zipdrive geometry (-H 64 -S 32) --sectors=# -S Force the number of sectors per track --heads=# -H Force number of heads --stupid -s Slow, safe and stupid mode --raid -r Fall back to the next device on boot failure --once=... Execute a command once upon boot --clear-once -O Clear the boot-once command --reset-adv Reset auxilliary data --menu-save= -M Set the label to select as default on the next boot --mbr -m Install an MBR (DOS/Win32 installers only) --active -a Mark partition as active (DOS/Win32 installers only) --force -f Ignore precautions (DOS/Win32/mtools installers only) Note: geometry is determined at boot time for devices which are considered hard disks by the BIOS. Unfortunately, this is not possible for devices which are considered floppy disks, which includes zipdisks and LS-120 superfloppies. The -z option is useful for USB devices which are considered hard disks by some BIOSes and zipdrives by other BIOSes. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (80, 'testing'), (70, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.3.6-linux-3.0-latest-49 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages syslinux depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii syslinux-common 2:4.02+dfsg-7 collection of boot loaders (common syslinux recommends no packages.
