...we've adopted Gary Tong's and Bart Lagerweij's ElTorito.sys (now modified by H. Peter Anvin and tiny changes from myself), I'd appreciate if anyone with more El Torito experience might criticize my comments below and advise as to how they might be wrong. Some of it is off-topic GRUB4DOS detail; safe to ignore. A bit of history: FDUBCD ("FreeDOS Universal Boot Compact Disc", I should think) was reported to work with MEMDISK, but not with GRUB4DOS' RAM disk logic. A modified eltorito.sys was offered by a GRUB4DOS developer and appeared to resolve the issue. I'...

My thumbdrive w/Syslinux and memdisk doesn't work on my Thinkpad laptop. But the thumbdrive does work on desktop platforms. And .. if i use Grub4dos with Syslinux .. it works on the Thinkpad Laptop. Any assistance would be greately appreciated! Thanks! <<john>> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!

...r achieve was a reboot, which takes considerable time (not ergonomic for my users). Sure I can reboot explicitly in other ways. The problem is that having to reboot is a pain. One odd machine was actually willing to try the boot sequence again, but it failed for some other reason anyway. Using Grub4DOS.EXE, I can chainload other things from DOS. Say Windows XP or Linux or whatever harddisk partition or kernel-like binary. Tried that, it works. My idea is this: POST -> PXElinux -> (keeppxe) memdisk -> DOS -> screensaver (wait for Esc) -> Grub4DOS -> back to PXElinux -> ......

Bug 2: When menu.c32 returns to syslinux (on pressing Esc), the splash screen is not shown; Bug 3 or a missing feature: When grub.exe tries to return control to syslinux, it fails. This happens when the user choses (in the standard menu.lst of grub4dos distribution) the entry: title back to dos quit Most probably the problem 3 would be very hard to work around - how would syslinux know where to reload itself from? It might have been loaded by some chainloader... Thanks again, Ilya

Hi, I've been trying a couple of day now, but I can't seem to figure it out. On www.etherboot.org, I found the example of configuring gPXE so that it mounts an iSCSI lun and then boot from CDROM so you are able to install on the LUN. But if I use gpxelinux.0 (latest release 3.73), with sanboot.c32 like this: label sanboot2008srv menu label ^[iscsi] Windows server 2008 kernel

Hi It would be pretty useful to have syslinux in linux kernel format so it can be chainloaded easy and directly by other bootloaders such as grub4dos. related topics: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7013 http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=6119&view=findpost&p=59236 http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=7077&view=findpost&p=59230 regards, -mr

...ow to specify the drive that syslinux is booted from, and thus the one on which the dd'd partition is located: it being a USB drive rather than the computer's hard drive, perhaps hd0 is not the correct specifier? Can anyone offer clarification on that issue? Incidentally, I recently put grub4dos on this USB drive, since I'd understood it was more capable when it comes to booting iso's. Since it was already present, I decided, using a syslinux menu item that would invoke grub4dos, to try booting the partition with it. And, with an appropriate menu.lst item, the partition does, i...

chain.c32 of SYSLINUX 3.82 does set the boot drive passed to the DL register to 0x80 and not to the boot drive (CD-drive). This can be a problem if you want to chainload grldr (grub4dos bootloader) from a CD and if you want to let grldr search for its menu.lst file on the CD.

...i system, but some users want to setup systems to run automatically. Some can download the development kit, and built an image with a modified script, but others don't have the skills or resources. I've come up with a system that seems to work with both the isolinux.cfg or menu.lst with grub4dos and I believe regular grub as well. The system adds a run=" " option to cmdline. A simple option could just be run="fg4l ipaddress" which would download a script from ftp and run it. Below is a more complex option that runs multi-line command. Using \n didn't work, so...

...drive. This suggests that whatever service XMSDSK is using needed a run-once in order to correct some kind of condition, perhaps a leftover of PXELINUX. Even though the second run of XMSDSK succeeds, the cabinet extraction does not fully succeed. I decided to rule out PXELINUX, so instead I put GRUB4DOS 0.4.4 on the local HDD. I booted to the HDD and ran GRUB4DOS. From its CLI, I did: kernel /memdisk initrd /dellgx280.imz and encountered the same failures as the PXELINUX case. The "raw," "bigraw," "int," and "safeint" (default) modes all produce the sam...

...ng that it is a strange problem. If you are curious how I boot different linux from different partitions, - I have extlinux booted from the active partition, - then chain loading into different linux partitions - the linux system from the mirrored partitions boot up fine, as I can start them from Grub4dos. Moreover, - I Install & boot from grub2, and it is OK too. But I really don't like grub2, and would like to make extlinux work instead. All in all, the only problem is loading the /vmlinuz from extlinux, as the chainloading is fine, and the linux system itself boots up fine too. and I'...

...er ISO that doesn't work with MEMDISK-ISO. It is the ISO of the PloP bootmanager. It is a ISO which uses floppy emulation. When I boot it with MEMDISK-ISO (run from Syslinux), my PC instantly reboots. When I extract the floppy image from the ISO and boot this file with MEMDISK, it works fine. Grub4dos iso emulation works fine for this iso. When using Grub4dos and MEMDISK-ISO, the PC freezes.

This same system boots with syslinux-4.06. Let me know if there is any further info you need. We tried syslinux-5.11-pre5 as well. Patrick Verner partedmagic.com
