Now for my side I use smartlinux. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=119642 This program is generic, bootloadable using this pxe configuration but off course doesn't implement the proprietary smart call of the hardware vendors. label smart KERNEL smart-0.4.dsk APPEND initrd=smart-0.4.dsk root=/dev/ram I know, the configuration looks like odd, but the boot process of this tools is very special. It includes in the same file the kernel and the initrd. But it works ;) Erwan,
Hi! I reported that the image from seagate and western digital need the raw access mode to boot otherwise there will be a kernel stack fault! You have to add 'raw' in the configuration file (append line): example: LABEL WDDIAG KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=images\wddiag.img raw You may also read that: http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php mfg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Morbid Angel" <mangel at gmx.de> To: <syslinux at zytor.com> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 2:36 PM Subject: [syslinux] PXE and Hard Drive Test Programms Hi!

Hi Morbid Angel! Yes, if you are using the simple menu system (menu.c32), read this: http://syslinux.zytor.com/menu.php This how it looks like: LABEL Admin MENU PASSWD $4$NDk0OTUzNTQ1NTQ5$7d6KvAlVCJKRKcijtVSPfveuWPM$ MENU LABEL Login as Admin KERNEL menu.c32 APPEND pxelinux.cfg\mmenu Password is encrypted and is: omg You can also store the password without encryption, but this is not secure at all! mfg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christoph Kaminski" <mangel at gmx.de> To: <syslinux at zytor.com> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 2:14 PM Subject: [syslinux] password for pxe menu Hi!
