The following patch allows memdisk to support compressed floppy images created by WinImage. WinImage creates a PKZIP-style archive with a single member, the .img (or .ima) file containing the floppy image. WinImage names such archives with a .imz extension. This patch lifts the header/trailer checking code from gunzip() to a new function, check_zip(), which both checks for a valid ZI...

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

In other words: I'm suggesting 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. On Mon,...

...UX, ISOLINUX, and memdisk in my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). When memdisk gained support for compressed images, I started using it because it is cool. I used gzip to compress floppy.img to create floppy.imz, and all was good. But now my users are complaining that they cannot use WinImage (a Windows floppy image editing tool) to edit my floppy.imz files. I have learned that WinImage does understand compressed floppies, and it does use a ".imz" suffix for them, but they are not the same as the files produced by gzip. They are instead a ZIP archive containing a single &qu...

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'. The fix is to increasing the FDD Heads from 2 to 4 and keeping Sectors at 36 in W...

...ion 1 win98 500MB extended partition with 2 logical partitions about 50GB. I cannot delete these. The win98 primary partition is active and boots fine. Now I plug in my SCSI disk into it's controller, so I can boot from SCSI into Win2000. There I image the Win98 partition on the IDE disk with WinImage (use E:, read disk). Finally, I have a Win98.ima which I rename to win98.img structure on disc (and in ISO): root isolinux -isolinux.bin -memdisk -isolinux.cfg -win98.img The Win98 image gets loaded by Memdisk label win98 kernel memdisk append initrd=WIN98.IMG but after a minute of...

Hello, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where it could be failing but if anyone has any insight, I...

...ople on this mailing list will 8-) As other points of interest: Windows 98 Gold and Windows ME boot disks fail, but Windows 98 SE boot disk images work (go figure). I've also managed to get Driveimager and Partition Magic to work by rolling the two doot disks into a single 2.88mb image using Winimage (though memdisk doesn't like the 1.5M floppy images that Winimage writes, it considers them a hard drive image. As an aside, and this is probably a FAQ... it looks like SYSLINUX won't boot out of subdirectories. True? When I make a kernel name like foo/wigdet.img, it can't find imag...

Hello, I am a *nix newbie I am trying to boot a DOS boot disk using PXE (to Ghost on windows images). We have an existing PXE server which successfully serves out PXElinux and Fedora builds based on that but my floppy disk image with memdisk isn't working I have tried a few different floppy images which people have posted as ones that work for them but I doubt the disk is the problem

...owever, I recently have the need to usb boot msdos with syslinux. And memdisk. When the dos Image loads I get "loading bootsector..." and then it halts. Sometimes I can get "starting ms-dos" but freezes as well. I'm trying to boot clean msdos floppy image created with winimage. I'm using the latest 3.73 memdisk and syslinux. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm trying to use pxelinux+memdisk to boot to dos. And using dos tcp/ip connect to windows network. I've used winimage to create (dos.ima) image of dos bootable floppy. But when I type dos at boot: prompt, it doesn't boot to dos instead show a multi-coloured screen. At this moment ctrl+alt+delete also doesn't work. Pls help Jitender

Does someone know where I could get my hands on an ima that's larger than 2.88meg... I use winimage for all my ima's and stuff but i'm having trouble configuring a custom size. If anyone has a large ima I could utilize that would be great, preferably one fitting this memdisk supported size: 3,932,160 bytes (3840K) c=80 h=2 s=48 3.5" DSED (extended) If not instructions on making o...

...back to 2.11 all have the same issue. I have tried all the switches for memdisk that I saw posted on the memdisk webpage (non wiki). raw/bigraw caused the image to freeze before even booting. (frozen cursor before loading the boot sector?). The disk image is a Windows 95 boot image that I used winimage to expand to 2.88MB. I use this image for all my bios upgrade needs. This seems to occur on a large amount of MSI's latest offerings (w/ award bios) (Specifically: 945gm2, 945gm3 and g965m). I used this same image on a Dell laptop for giggles, and it worked fine (it spit out the usage men...

I have a Windows 2000 domU running in an LVM partition. I need to move it to another host, but none of my other xen servers have lvm or free space to create an lvm. So I''d like to convert it to a sparse img file. The file system in the domU is ntfs. Can anyone suggest how to do this? Thanks, James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

...mploys your SYSLINUX utilities - you probably already know all about that but Bart did me a huge service by including a set of pre-configured makefiles to build the CD ISO image using mkisofs and whatnot. Soo, I have it working great for floppy disk images - these I've made using the Win32 util WinImage - works great for bootable floppies. Now I've been struggling with how to create an image of a HD partition. I have a small partition ~10MB that is bootable into Win98 DOS with all the config files and crap ready to go and tested. WinImage doesn't seem to be able to create an uncompressed...

...9;full' and would benifit greatly from compression. Is their a standard(ish) way to compress a floppy image, maybe compress is misleading, Id be happy with no compression of the data, but somehow only writing the blocks which are used. Ive yet to compare the compressed floppy images produced by winimage (www.winimage.com) to the compressed images created by other tools, but one would hope that their was a standard they were following ;) -jmblack
