Hi, I'm working on making an USB flash disk bootable and have succeeded in booting Linux using syslinux from disk in USB-HDD mode. Is there a way to do it in USB-FDD mode, possibly also using syslinux as a bootloader? Thanks in advance. -- [ Adam Wysocki :: www.gophi.rotfl.pl :: +48889004440 ] [ Software Development Department, ArcaBit Sp. z o.o ] [ Ul. Fortuny 9 :: 01-339 Warszawa :: www.arcabit.pl ]

I finally got around to testing the isohybrid, and it seemed to work in the creation, but in my lab, it sees the flash as a usb-fdd, and when I tried to boot from it, I just get a cursor in the top left. In linux it comes up as a cdrom. Is there a process for this, or is this a case of having to use another method. Some time ago, I had use syslinux to boot from a flash, but I had to set an option in the cmos that would th...

...sting to use WinImage as it also allows easy injection of new files *and* updating of already existing files. May I ask which vendor is distributing a DOS FW update that is 20MB? I'd like to see the files. Sometimes you just need the .bin/.rom and the actual FW update EXE and it would fit a 5MB FDD image.

The narod.ru images are super outdated (FreeDOS kernel 2028) unfortunately. If you are interested I could provide a 5MB FDD image template based on FreeDOS 2041 kernel (the latest available at that time in 2014) where you would just inject your ROM and EXE (and possibly adjust autoexec.bat to autostart/apply the FW update). It's a minimal FreeDOS FDD image that defaults to a clean boot with bare minimum settings (se...

Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

I am new to web development, Ruby on Rails, and UML as well. I was wondering if there were any free tools available for UML design. There is a list of free tools on wikipedia under UML tools, but I don''t understand if I need a tool that supports the ruby language. If anyone uses a free UML tool for designing Ruby on Rails apps, please let me know what you use.

Haven't yet had a need for 10MB FDD images. The biggest I had to create was 5MB (5760kb). At that time I had to use WinImage to create the FDD image and it took me a while to figure out the correct settings. My notes state: "I'm getting 'missing FAT' errors in WinImage, and 7-zip complains about 'unexpected end...

...As far I know it's the most advanced tool available able to make bootable USB disks. It's able to autodetect/partition/format/populate the USB disk in a single step without any user interaction. It's also able to create disk images which are compatibles with all the three standards USB-FDD, USB-HDD and USB-ZIP at the same time.

Hola estimados miembros de la lista, Tengo una inquietud. Les cuento: tengo un conjunto de datos en un data.frame. Algunas de las variables que están en él son del tipo factor. Estos factores, naturalmente, tiene categorías: a veces demasiadas categorías y muchas de ellas con 1 individuo contemplando el data.frame más de 1 millón de individuos. Estas pequeñas cantidades creo que me están

I'm running into an issue which I didn't expect to encounter. When specifying the "nopassany" parameter to hide physical drives, I'm getting different output from ELTORITO.SYS (v1.5, syslinux distro) such that it fails. My intent is a LiveCD functionality with a DOS RAMDISK program taking over as drive C:, meaning either no FAT partitions on harddisks and removable disks

...mputer into Linux. I think this is possible but I'm having problems and have some questions: 1. What should be on the MBR of the USB device? I have tried using the mbr.bin in the syslinux-2.07 distro. 2. How does this device appear to the BIOS, i.e. what should the boot device be? USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, or USB-HDD? I have tried several things, but have had no success. I tried using some instructions from SPBlinux <http://www.8ung.at/spblinux/index.htm>, but have had no success. Has anyone else out there? Thanks, David

I'm posting as an FYI. I was testing BIOS A04 with a UFD (USB Flash Drive) but it probably applies to everything that looks like a USB hard drive. My previous statement was partially incorrect as I did find a scenario to the contrary. I tried with FDD then CD at the top of the list and tried with both just disabled (without reordering first). I tried with the SATA controller in ATA, AHCI and RAID/IRRT mode. I tried letting the laptop autoboot to PXE with the order of the remaining items as PXE, USB, HDD and PXE, HDD, USB. I tried manually boo...

With the new 3.01 and 3.07 version I found a big slowdown booting from USB devices. On my PC it takes more than 2 minutes to load the kernel and the initrd filesystem. Compared with the previous behaviour of syslinux 2.13 with takes only 10 seconds or little more. The BIOS boots in FDD mode (DriveNumber variable is 0). I've also tried to disable the EDD support in the source. But the boot process takes always a long time. I've also a PC which boots in HDD mode (DriveNumber has the highest bit set) and it is also slower, approx 20 seconds compared to the previous 10. I d...

...Award BIOS; I can't get it to show any other version information. Second, even though the "system configuration" screen shows the USB key as a "hard drive", it WILL NOT try to boot it if the boot screen is set to USB-HDD. It will try to boot it if set to USB-ZIP or USB-FDD, but both of those will crash due to geometry mismatch. I have verified that there is no way to query the geometry from the BIOS (just as there isn't for real floppy drives.) The only way to get that to recognize is presumably to format the entire key (no partition table) with the correct...

Hello Peter & Jeremy, I've found an ordinary desktop PC (with Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG) that won't boot off a USB stick created by livecd-tools-024 with syslinux (tested both versions 3.75 and 3.81). The boot process drops to the "boot:" prompt with an error message: could not find kernel image: linux The same USB stick boots fine on any other computer I could find.

I am trying to install Centos on my old Portege 2490CT. Actually a pretty good box, but it does not support USB booting. Only HDD, FDD (interestingly a USB device), 'CD-Rom', or LAN. The only CDroms I have is a nice USB drive and an old PCMCIA toshiba NW24XCD drive. I have not gotten this system to boot off of my USB CDrom. It will boot of the NW24XCD. So I put the CentOS disk 1 in the drive and boot. Boot seems to...
