...e SYSLINUX to provide CD-ROM and PXE boot support for my boot disk. And it works great with MS-DOS. However, I want to use FreeDOS for the boot disk. This is very close to working with the latest releases of the FreeDOS kernel and utilities. I just have one blocking problem. I am trying to use himem64.exe, part of FreeDOS EMM386: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/emm386/ I am comparing it with fdxxms.sys, part of FDXMS: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/fdxms/ When I use PXELINUX+memdisk (version 2.08) to boot a trivial FreeDOS boot d...

I am planning to release SYSLINUX 2.08 in the next day or so; basically 2.08-pre9 without any further changes. So, I would appreciate any and all testers for this... -hpa

Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ... 1?DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE /VERBOSE 1?DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=C000-C800 NOEMS /VERBOSE ...

...ate was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it. Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity (for small values of hilarity) ensued. First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem, no himem, live CD only, or, finally, "no drivers loaded", which works. It gags on something orders of magnitude larger than it was written for, y'know. Then I discover that the builtin type command does *not* have /p, and there's no more command, and I should have read the longe...

Hi, I''m trying to run kernel compilations on a VM and my times are better than on the host machine. I''m using the time command, so I''m assuming its bugged. I try to use hwclock, and it spits out nothing. Is there an easy way to determine REAL time in a virtual machine? Thanks, David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

...posted a note about a couple of months ago. Simply won't work booting the floppy disk image via MEMDISK. In the interim, I've tried to resolve this by changing things on my side. I'm pretty sure it's a XMS incompatibility, as it fails differently depending on which of three diff HIMEM drivers I use. I've even switched from using a Win98 boot floppy image to FreeDOS, but no joy. Whatever the prob is, it's weird bec launching this disk image as the CD bootstrap works flawlessly and has done so for years. But, if you boot the image via MEMDISK, even after making it all t...

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

Hi all, and particularly Andrew and Stephen, I recently "upgraded' one of my NFS fileservers from (patched)2.4.18 to 2.4.23-pre7 (in order to resolve a HIMEM related memory pressure problem). Unfortunately I have experienced what appears to be a deadlock. The one I will describe was experienced while running 2.4.23-pre7, though I had a very similar problem in 2.4.22 (but didn't collect enough data to be able to give a useful report at the time...

Dear Mr. H. Peter Anvin, I am trying to figure out the physical address of where the PXE DOS image (downloaded in PXE) is stored by MEMDISK in the Extended Memeory. Is it at E98000h as specified in the PXE spec or the address to is random. What I am trying to figure out is a safe range of extended memory segment (100000h to E98000h), where HP tools can safely allocate extended memory in DOS

I'm having a problem with one of our newly built call processors. I'm using the stable branch of the asterisk code with a single TE405P on a P4 3.2ghz running kernel 2.6.6 with Hyperthreading and APIC enabled. The machine has 1GB of RAM and HIMEM is enabled in the kernel. Calls terminate properly and everything seems to work okay, but the system died after only being up one day with the following being the last thing logged in syslog: May 27 18:29:49 cp1 kernel: Tried to load 00000275 into 0000000a, but got ffffffff instead May 27 18:29:4...

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

I have added instructions to memdisk.doc for how to disable MEMDISK. However, it's unlikely that this will work if you're running under DOS, since DOS will be very unhappy about drives changing underneath it. Anyway, until the next (pre)release comes out, here are the instructions: --- memdisk.doc 27 Apr 2004 06:49:36 -0000 1.10 +++ memdisk.doc 6 Jul 2004 01:29:03 -0000 @@ -122,5
