    What is the best Multi-BOOT BOOT Loader these days?

    Ages ago I used System Commander which I really liked at the time.
    .
    Anything like that around anymore or does everyone use the Grub, Lilo and Windows loaders now?

    grub and lilo are dinosaurs anymore... now we use grub2 for linux (although fedora used grub until the last release, 16, which used grub 2, thefore, RHEL/ cent os probably uses old grub).

    there of course are the hackintosh loaders too, which can multiboot windows and linux in addition to osx.

    for linux, i prefer grub or grub 2, for windows only, i use the windows bootloader.

      Nintendo Switch Oled HEG-001: Second-Stage Boot Failure
      by privato89
      Hello everyone,

      I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.

      Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.

      Let's begin:

      Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the...

      Samsung un82ru88000f - Boot loop sort of but can correct with taping of LVDS ribbon
      by NolesFan
      Hello all... TV started boot looping. Opened the back panel and tried to isolate the problem. Just PSB no boot loop. PSB and MB no boot loop. Plug in the LVDS from panel to MB and boot looping starts up. It doesnt matter of order that I plug the LVDS ribbons back in, only 1 and no boot loop but as soon as 2nd one plugs in boot looping. I then noticed a flicker on the screen when I was closing the clip on the harness to the LVDS. Shut the lights off so I can see better, and I noticed as i slowly close it, I will get a picture, but as soon as it clips in, I lose picture and booting happens. So I...

      Samsung 55" TV - Boot loop but sometimes works fine - UE55MU6470U
      by torchzack
      Hi Team - just joined to see if anyone can offer some expertise in diagnosing an issue with a TV.

      I've done a few hours googling and youtubing but just seeing if anyone has any insight here. I got a 55" Samsung UE55MU6470U which seems to boot loop and then after 10 mins will boot, work for a few minutes, then turn off and repeat.

      Whilst it's on into the normal Samsung menu/boot screen it looks perfect - so I can't see there being any screen issues. I've seen lots of videos with taping across clock lines to diagnose which particular one may be an issue but i don't...
