Hi folks, I'm having problems now with the Win32 syslinux in the 2.0.6 release when using it on various CompactFlash drives. These drives end up going into a Geode-based PC board with a built in CF slot. Now, before I run SYSLINUX.EXE on them, they are 32MB with a Toshiba part number showing up when the PC boots. They show up on as the Secondary Master. After I run SYSLINUX.EXE, they stay

Hi folks, I hit the syslinux homepage for the first time in a while. The stuff just works, so there's no reason to come to the website, eh? :) Anyway, the first line is "The SYSLINUX Project covers lightweight bootloaders for floppy media (SYSLINUX)", and I think that this needs to be expanded a bit. I use SYSLINUX on CompactFlash, and it works great because together with

I've been playing with the Win32 SYSLINUX, and it fails if you're not using NT or 2K or XP. There are some differences when using it under Win95/98/ME, but is there any reason that this program couldn't just have a different codepath for those older version of Windows?

I've just updated to a snapshot of 4.9-PRERELEASE. The usb/umass support seems *much* more stable than I found it with 4.8. My Oracom USB MP3 player now works without errors, and achieves up to 400KB/sec throughput. However, if I connect my Belkin CompactFlash reader instead, that's very, very slow indeed. The greatest data rate I see is about 4KB/sec, although no errors are

Hello! I'm using a CompactFlash as storage device. Since those CF cards only have limited write cycles (CF does wear-levelling by itself, but you don't want to write too many timet so the card) i was wondering by what a factor the journaling of ext3 increases the write accesses to the CompactFlash compared to ext2. Thanks a lot already for your help! Sincerely Chris Braun

SYSLINUX 2.10 2004-06-18 That is all I get when I boot my system off a CompactFlash card in an IDE adapter, no matter how long I wait. What debugging steps are recommended? I'm willing to get down and dirty with assembler, and I'd appreciate suggestions of what to suspect and where to start. Details: This is a Crucial 128MB CompactFlash card in a non-hot-swap CF-IDE adapter which

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager? Bernd >>> No, since booting from CD-ROM requires that the El Torito part of the BIOS is activated, which it won't be if it didn't boot from CD-ROM in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing:

Dear All I have a problem with my Compaq EVO n410c laptop. I want to install Windows (Win98/WinXP) on it. But this laptop don't have any floppy/cdrom to boot from.

Hi, One of our customers uses INT 22h/AX=C to shut down UNDI interface. This interface is documented in http://www.syslinux.org/doc/comboot.txt. The excerpt is shown below: AX=000Ch [2.00] Perform final cleanup Input: AX 000Ch DX derivative-specific flags (0000h = clean up all) Output: None Apparently, device is not shut down based on the description of

Is there a way for isolinux/syslinux to execute a list of comboot files immediately at startup, and only once? I have a bunch of small comboot .com files that I want to batch run immediately, then after that do a DISPLAY boot.msg similar in some ways to an autoexec.bat. For example: DEFAULT mycd APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us .... TIMEOUT 300 ONSTARTUP mybatch <- ???

Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Hello, I have a question about ext3 write activity. I am considering using an ext3 fs on a CompactFlash disk for my data-logging application (power can disapear anytime). The quantity & frequency of the data logged itself is not a problem at all considering flash wear. But I'm a bit worried about the kernel/ext3 doing regular writes by itself even when there are no userspace writes.

Hi, is there an option to have the DISPLAY command issue a pause after each screen full of information? I've been searching for a way to have users to agree to (or at least be able to read ) the GPL license. "by issueing a command other than F2 you agree that you are bound to the terms of the GNU Public License that is used on this FreeDOS beta9 cdrom. You can read the license terms by

Hi, I need to add an additional feature to Murali's menu system: sending and receiving UDP datagrams. I have no experiences with writing programs at such a low level. Therefore, I need some help. 1) How to transfer IP address and other options from PXElinux to comboot? 2) I got PXE specification, ver. 2.1 (sept. 1999); can I follow it safely? 3) Is there an easy interface to use PXE stack

Hello For those SOHO customers (ie. at most, a couple of POTS/ISDN connections and simultaneous SIP calls) who'd rather not use a big, noisy PC to run Asterisk, I'd like to offer an alternative that has the following features: - not old hardware sold on eBay, ie. it must be up-to-date hardware sold by a company currently in business - compact, silent - has room for a 2.5" hard-disk,
