Hi! as i know that you like test reports, here are some... Testing environment: CompactFlash card, connected with an USB adapter to a Compaq Evo D310 frontal USB port. This machine boots via USB quite well with syslinux. 3.09 boots ok, no problem 3.10-pre2 does not boot 3.10-pre3 does not boot 3.10-pre4 does not boot 3.10-pre5 locks up pc 3.10-pre6 locks up pc 3.10-pre7 writes 'Boot failed' and locks up 3.10-pre8 writes 'EBIOS' and locks up Hope this helps ;) p.s. willing to do more tests with the same platform Luis Correia PGP Fingerprint: BC44 D7DA 5A17 F92A CA21 9ABE DFF0 3540 2322 21F6 Key Server: http://pgp.mit.edu

Which installer do you need? Same thing -- robotti, which installer do you use so I can send both of you a debugging version? -hpa P.S. Please test both with and without -s. It sometimes gives me critical info.

Which installer do you need?Oops, forgot a very important information, I used the win32\syslinux.exe under Windows xp SP2 using the '-s' switch. So I guess that I would need the win32 version.> > Same thing -- robotti, which installer do you use so I can > send both of > you a debugging version? > > -hpa > > P.S.

If I use the '-s' option, it hangs for a few seconds and then says "Boot error".
