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

When I boot from a MoviX cd, Isolinux gives an error: isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... Boot failed, press a key to retry.... I searched the internet, but I couldn't find a solution, in the changelogs, there where no changes reported on this problem my specs are: AMD k6-2 300 Riva TNT2 M64 32MB 64 MB RAM RedHat and Knoppix work fine on this PC Somebody on the MoviX forum had the same

Hi I tried building Mandrake 9.2 DVD (combine files from iso images and so on). Then I tried to boot it in MS Virtual PC 2004 and it didn't work. After a while of expirementing I found out that no images work. Attached is sample cd image. (Made with Nero 6.3). I wonder is the problem in Nero, Virtual PC or in syslinux? isolinux-debug.bin gives following messages: --- ISOLINUX 2.08

Hello again ! I have another problem and now is with mkisofs...

Hello All, I am using NU2's BCD with the isolunix/memdisk add-on to create the cd. Floppy images work fine, however the bootsector (w2K et.al) doesn't. I get an NTLDR not found error. Not a problem, as the issue is that the bootsector needs to be in the root of the CD. Well if I do that then how do I spec that location properly in isolinux.cfg for the label tag? For example- this

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

Look into the original XP cd and see where NTLDR is located, then place it on your cd in the same directory and it 'should' work. I have created some 2000 XP boot cd's with integrated recent service pack's and they still boot. But I do that with cdrecord+original boot sector, not with any isolinux stuff... But I hope this help! -----Original Message----- From: G. Murali

There is a maximum of 255 characters of parameters you can pass to the kernel. At least that's what I recall, but I may be wrong. -----Original Message----- From: Roberto De Leo [mailto:deleo at unica.it] Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 5:19 PM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: [syslinux] maximum number of characters in APPEND Hi, I wonder whether there is a maximum number of

Hi, I tried to install redhat 8.0 on a laptop and ran into the following problem. ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 isolinux failed to get sector size, assuming 0800 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... At that point, I followed the advice on the isolinux webpage, and reburned a CD using isolinux 2.00 with debug. The error message was: ISOLINUX 2.00 2002-10-25 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H. Peter

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with the process of creating bootable floppy images to be used with isolinux/memdisk. I usually do the following: label image kernel memdisk append initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to

I am trying to rebuild Red Hat Linux 9 on DVD. I am using the provided isolinux 2.00 (I tried the latest 2.04, with the same results), and I get an error trying to boot from the DVD. I burned the boot.iso (basically a triple-wide boot disk using the same isolinux directory) to DVD, and it booted fine. The error I get when booting the DVD using isolinux-debug.bin is this (copied by hand):

Greetings, I have been using isolinux with Microsoft's cdimage.exe for my Utility / Preinstallation cds. I just upgraded from 3.36 to 3.55 and found it to be non functional. I didn't use the -debug version, it just hangs at the version banner. I went through several previous versions, and it appears that 3.50-pre23 is the last working version. I didn't see anything between that
