"isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" when booting USB flash drive in old PC
...use CX is 0. This gets pushed to the stack.
(So the code around the int 13 assumes that either int 13 fails and returns
CX == 0, or the reply is good enough to reach "andw 1,%cx". Ewww ...)
Now in isolinux.asm we have this test, quite immediately after the
stack was exploited:
mov si,bios_cbios
jcxz _start_common
mov si,bios_ebios
jmp _start_common
If CX is 4 (= EDD) here, then we go to LBA addressing and the confused
geometry is not of interest on the first try. At least this would explain
why our modern virtual BIOSes let isolinux.bin work. (I.e. the "EBIOS"
flag is ind...

"isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" when booting USB flash drive in old PC
Hi,
i am looking now at the code which i assume loads the rest of isolinux.bin.

(Do i get it right that this is the Intel syntax ? (Gronfff))
If POP yields the victim of the most recent not yet popped PUSH, then
