hello,
I'm a happy Syslinux user.
I've been learning how to package floppy images to boot from USB flash.
The USB devices seem to work on a huge variety of platforms, especially AMI bios
machines.
All the new DELL Inspiron notebooks work flawlessly, happily booting my USB
Syslinux setups.
Along comes a new Sony Vaio (VGN-FZ140E) with a Phoenix bios and none of the
memdisk floppy images work -- they hang. My linux kernel based images still boot
fine.
When this happens, what is a good strategy? So far I've tried:
-- looking for the latest bios (Sony seems to hide the location for this)
-- upgrade to the latest Syslinux (moving from 3.10 on fc5 to 3.51 from zytor)
is there some generic weakness with any Phoenix bios?
thanks for any advice,
Mark
