Howdy to all, We've been using isolinux quite successfully for quite some time now, and I have come across a couple of laptops where isolinux balks at my config file.. Upon booting on this systems, the image background appears corrupted, and at the boot prompt, the following happens automatically. Unknown keyword in config file. Could not find kernel image: 1 boot: Any label input here

Some additional fields from the EDD-4 spec. draft for the Device Parameter Table have been added into the structure in setup.c and memdisk.inc. These were added in the hopes of resolving a FreeDOS MEMDISK bug on IBM ThinkPads. --- memdisk/memdisk.inc | 11 +++++++++++ memdisk/setup.c | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/memdisk/memdisk.inc

Hi, I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great. This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my

Sensei H. Peter Anvin, I have successfully modified/enhanced memdisk so that one can chainload a local operating system after running diskless FreeDOS. I would like your advice regarding the appropriate interface for invoking this functionality. In addition, I would like to know what steps to take so that you feel comfortable considering including this in the standard syslinux distribution.

For anyone wanting to boot an .ISO with MEMDISK: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andytim/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=ref s/heads/memdisk-iso NOTE: Your protected-mode OS (Windows, Linux, *BSD) booted from such a MEMDISK will not magically find the MEMDISK image in RAM and use it as a CD without a MEMDISK driver. There are currently 0 MEMDISK drivers in the field, but that might change someday.

Two additions to MEMDISK to support OS drivers. The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines") is a means for an OS driver to follow a chain of INT 13h hooks, examining the hooks'' vendors and assuming responsibility for hook functionality along the way. For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the physical address for the

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

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

Hi I'm using memdisk as part of CD Shell' isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. 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: ...

Hi guys, This may be a stupid question... I was trying to get a machine to boot with PXE. Everything supportive is setup, the DNS/DHCP works fine, TFTP is also handing over pxelinux.0 and config files correctly. The problem happens at: label xxx kernel memdisk initrd blabla My machine would report "cannot find kernel: memdisk". When doing a tcpdump, I found the machine actually

I'm having trouble getting memdisk 6.03pre18 to boot large floppies and wondering whether I'm doing something incorrectly. 1) Download http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz 2) gunzip FDOEM.144.gz 3) newmkfloppyimg.sh 8 FDOEM144.img fdoem_8mb.img 4) newmkfloppyimg.sh 9 FDOEM144.img fdoem_9mb.img 5) Use following pxelinux.cfg: LABEL works LINUX syslinux/memdisk INITRD

...mand output for MEMDISK kernel arguments passed by previous boot-loaders. He also needed to support the case for MEMDISK-in-a-MEMDISK type situations, where all MEMDISK kernel arguments could be gathered together and output as a list of DOS SET commands. One way to search for "outer" MEMDISKs is via mBFT and/or INT 13h "safe hook" scanning. To support this, some modifications to MEMDISK were needed to allow the sharing of common structure information to MDISKCHK.COM's source code. Also, one MEMDISK bug was found. If you are currently a GETARGS.COM user and your batch...

HI: i just trying memdisk that comes with syslinux 3.35. i try to load a dos image, which contains ghost verison 8.3 and ghost version 11. both version of ghost hangs when start-up. memdisk that comes with 3.40 pre is ok. and many earlier versions is ok too. i try some parameter like "safeint","raw". but none work. i use memdisk with pxelinux, below is part of my

I've been trying to use memdisk with grub2 to boot some iso images -( I've done this without any problem with pxe ) There is a memdisk.mod in /boot/grub/ and I've seen some material talking about this, but no example of a menu. After trying countless permutations - Right now I have : menuentry "Memtest-Plus 4.2" { echo `hello` insmod lvm

For the boot floppy at http://superkeen.com/peacecorpsfiles/FUZOMA14.IMG using memdisk from syslinux version 3.72 boots correctly, but for memdisk versions newer than 3.72 (I tested 3.73, 3.75, 3.85, and 3.86) all hang at boot with the following message: Loading boot sector... booting FreeDOS kernel - SVN (build 2039 OEM:0xfd [compiled Oct 2 2009]) Kernel compatibility 6.22 - BORLANDC ...

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no
