similar to: FW: How do I emulate a harddrive instead of a flop py?

OK, I'm really showing my inexperience now, but... The syslinux FAQ states that a DOS-compatible HDD MBR is distributed (I assume that is MBR.BIN) with the package. So how do I then make an image file for use with pxelinux that emulates HDD? Up until now I have only been successful in modifying images made by someone else (I have been using a modified version of Unattended from SourceForge

Jean-Marc, I'm an embedded systems designer and am in the process of selecting a hardware platform to run a Linux-Speex VoIP application. Being concerned with size and power consumption I must choose a processor with a minimal amount of computational power. To that end I've narrowed my search to number of different products that reference the popular "SiSoft Sandra(TM)"

This isn't strictly speaking a SYSLINUX release, it's a change to MEMDISK and mkdiskimage to allow the creation of hard disk images with DOSEMU headers. This should make it easier to create bootable DOS hard disk images under DOSEMU. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Some days ago, I asked for help running an old DOS program for a CA attorney. It seemed to have a problem with 16 bit DPMI. While we have had to (temporarily, I hope) compromise and use a licensed copy of DOS 6.22 to run it with dosemu, it runs perfectly on dosemu. Instead of usind a hdimage of freedos, which will not run the program, one creates a dir, /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir, and fills it

Hi, I am installing a Samba 3.0.1 on RH90 for a little school, and they want to have access to a mobile usb-harddrive. The harddrive shoud be mapped via the login script, and here is were my troubles begin.... I have been experimenting with the autofs service, which works great if the harddrive is present at login time. If one login at a time where the harddrive isn't present the login

Hello.. I have a somewhat "funny" setup. I use the dosemulator Dosemu for running a dos based packetradio nodeprogram called Xrouter. I setup dosemu to use my eth1 (lan) nic and i bring up a device called dsn0. (this is all running on Slackware 9.1 without X) insmod /etc/dosemu/dosnet.o sleep 2 ifconfig dsn0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -host 192.168.1.2 dsn0 dosemu <

Hi, I have made a share on my normal harddrive which I can access from my Windows client with no problems. But when I mount my USB harddrive and shares it, I can't access it. I have also tried to make a softlink from my normal share to the USB harddrive, but the directory does not show up, when accessing it from Windows. Does anyone know if it is possible to use a USB harddisk as a share

Hi all, Recently I realize the filesystem became Read-only and there is "media error" message in the system log. It has passed several days without notice. I'm thinking of setting up a script to grep that "media error" and send email. Is there more elegant way of doing this? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 2.01. It's almost identical to 2.01-pre5, but I figured it was time to get it out the door, especially since I won't have time to work on it for the next few weeks. Changes in 2.01: * MEMDISK: Fix memory sizing bug when the ramdisk crosses the 16 MB boundary. * MEMDISK: Add a "pause" option to stop

Hello... I am trying to run a program under linux using wine called "Recover My Files". This program is designed to recover data from corrupted harddrives contining FAT and NTFS partitions by reading them sector by sector or cluster by cluster. The thing is, the drive in question is unmountable due to logic problems on the device, which it appears is rendering the drive invisible to

Scenario: server PC abruptly switched off due to power cable problems (an UPS cannot solve this issue), so during shutdown Linux was not able to resinchronize the system clock. After a few hours the server come back on, Linux booted and the services (ntpd, dovecot and many others) started But the system clock was 45 minutes ahead, so: Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to LOCAL(0),

Hi, I have a project where I have to backup (copy /dev/hda on a server) and recover (copy back) hardrives from the clients. I tried this with rsync using: BACKUP: rsync /dev/hda user@host:/path/to/image RECOVER: rsync user@host:/path/to/image /dev/hda There is a problem when accessing devices like /dev/hda. The transfer aborts after a few seconds with the error message: write failed on
