Hi All, I was testing syslinux floppy on a Mazza MotherBoard, his chipset is VIA MVP3 (VT82C598MVP, VT82C586B), and Winbond W83877F/TF. After reading the floppy, I see 'boot failed', I have to ide disk in the system, only flash device. I used the -s option to build the floppy. Does Somebody know if the chipset is supported? I tested the floppy on toshiba laptop and it works very fine. Thanks in advanced. Riccardo.
is the physical connection OK? meaning: no bad floppydrive or (wrongly attached) cable? BIOS boot sequence? to mark this as a floppy-booting problem, it would be preferred if you boot from another device on the same system, and then try to access and read the floppy disk. That way you can be sure only booting from the drive fails, not the reading from it. Which Syslinux version, and post syslinux.cfg LDLINUX.SYS is the Syslinux main part, along with some special bootloader/bootloader mr H Peter Anvin created for his Syslinux project.
