Hi Peter, I noticed in your isolinux.asm code, when loading spec packet fails you are trying to wing it, in other word, loop the drive numbers from 0xff through 0x80 until the booted drive number is found... I write software that also "wings it". Recently I had to create some "wird" workarounds because of bad bios in some Dell and Compaq PC's. Below is my function for

Hi Peter, You did a great job on the isolinux and memdisk tools.. I can know, I've also written a CD-Rom disk emulator, only it's slow (read from the CD) uses 22KB conventional memory (mainly cache) and the emulated floppy image cannot be written to. http://www.nu2.nu/diskemu/ You're memdisk is fast, small conventional memory footprint and the emulated drive is writeable, very,

Hi, I've coded loading NT cdrom bootsector into isolinux 1.68 myself (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk) and I now see you have included it in isolinux 1.73 and higher. Great!!! I tried it using isolinux 1.74 and 1.75pre2, but I cannot get it to work. It says: -- Loading Invalid or corrupt kernel image. -- I use the file extension ".bin" as I see in the isolinux.asm source,

Hi, I've made some (small) changes to your isolinux 1.67 to support loading of .bin files. For example to load NT cdrom bootsectors, or other raw loaders... Size is fixed to 1 sector (2KB). Extension must be ".bin". Loading address is fixed to (default) 0x0:0x7c00. All my changes are marked between tags: <bart>...</bart> Just thought I'd send it to you do with it

Hallo, I have a little problem with Isolinux. Hi, I would be happy, if they could lend a hand me at my problem! I create a bootable CD, the I-Loader.bin starts the Isolinux.bin, because I don?t like use mkisofs. Isolinux can start an Disketten Image, but not an Eltorito Image like Windos 2000 Cd?s. The error Message is "Invalid or corrupt Kernel Image" WAY? I know, that the file is

Good day to all. Since 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

Hello all, I am still struggle in my isolinux.cfg I got from http://www.bootscriptor.org/ that memdisk not support Win ME boot disk however, I am using Bart's Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) method (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/) and I try to incorporate the method mention in Bootscriptor in Bart's method. I change my isolinux.cfg as label 5 kernel isolinux.bin winme.img label 6

H. Peter, three simple commits here[1] (for_hpa branch). Gert, sample binaries are here[2]. --- mdiskchk: Add --no-sequential mode It might be useful to suppress MDISKCHK.COM's classic behaviour of probing all BIOS drive numbers in search of MEMDISKs. Some BIOSes might not enjoy being probed. --- memdisk: Correct El Torito termination response Two

Hi Mr Anvin, after downloading the Freedos bootable cd, which now uses your projects (ISOLINUX & MEMDISK) instead of Bart Lagerweij's DISKEMU (www.nu2.nu), I contacted the creator of the freedos cdrom. I was interested in how he did make that cd bootable. Now I understand it a bit. As I'm a MS Windows user, I had to figure some things out. However, upon booting I get a beautiful

Dear Sir, I am trying to create a multiboot cd that will supposr the following: 1. Linux RedHat 7.2 2. Windows 2000 Professional 3. Windows 2000 Server 4. Windows 2000 Advanced Server I get it right, but to have the Linux image on the same cd and to boot from it is a problem. Here's what I did: First I created a bootable cd with the windows images and used the El-Torito standard based

Syslinux 3.84 has been released. This is a mixed minor new features/minor bug fixes release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce a program I've made called Boot Scriptor. To quote the website, "Boot Scriptor is a program that allows a high degree of interactivity when booting from a CD-ROM drive. It provides a set of commands designed to enable users to boot a system in a number of ways, as well as provide interactive menus to choose boot options from. More

Memdisk 2.08 cannot boot an XP boot floppy image (XP appears to use WinME boot files for its bootable floppy). For example: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/download.htm This disk will not boot with Memdisk (Memdisk starts to load the image and then hangs). I'm using Bart's tools to build a boot CD: http://www.nu2.nu/corpmodboot/ Which uses Isolinux and Memdisk.

Hey Peter! Great work on the SYSLINUX project! I spent three days noodling over how to accomplish *exactly* what your ISOLINUX/MEMDISK combination does! Even a blind hog finds an acorn from time to time. I have it working great using the crpack utility suite from http://www.nu2.nu and one of Bart Lagerweij's techniques employs your SYSLINUX utilities - you probably already know all about

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

Hello! I am already using isolinux & memdisk for making bootable cd-roms (with Bart's method - www.nu2.nu). My question is if memdisk can be used to boot a disk image, directly from hard disk - when in Dos mode. thank you, Adrian Tarog Scanare antivirus realizata de mailserver-ul Jolidon
