I apologize for the long delay in testing this. I can only reproduce the problem on fancy new laptops, and those do not stay in my hands for very long. As you may recall, certain floppyless laptops have a BIOS bug which prevented them from working with MEMDISK. Around a month ago, Robert Wruck contributed workaround patches, and hpa included a modified version of them in 2.07-pre1. He asked for testing, and that was the last message on the thread that I saw. I have just now confirmed that a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop exhibits the problem with 2.06 but not with 2.07-pre5.

Memdisk passes reset calls on to the original int13 handler, which returns failure, because there is no floppy drive to reset (#1). Also i noted that some boot records (notably some created by

Okay... I have implemented a check for no-floppy systems and skip the RESET passing for those systems, based on the info from Robert Wruck (thanks.) I have released this as SYSLINUX 2.07-pre1, but I haven't had a chance to test this *at all*, so don't be too surprised if this doesn't work. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Robert: if you send me your patches for EDD/EBIOS support, I'll take...

I have been working with this for a little over a month now, and here's where we are at: We have 3 domains, 2 of them are sending SIDs to the Solaris box, and Kerbos is compiled and working (we can authenticate to any of the 3 domains), we can get user IDs from any of the 3 domains, however none of the users can gain access to the share unless we give them a Unix account. Samba was
