HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

The menu directory won't compile with gcc 3.4.0 because gcc complains that "ebp" cannot be used as a constraint. If preserving ebp is necessary then it will have to be done in the assembler code. Gcc 3.3.3 just seems to ignore the constraint. It didn't do anything special to preserve the register. I also noticed that getnumrows returns the contents of 0x484 which is the

This version contains a fix to mbr.asm, plus a version of Murali's menu system, but ported to gcc. Although gcc produces much bigger 16-bit code (since it's really 32-bit code with prefixes) I figured it would be much easier for people to deal with since it requires the configuration to be compiled in. That being said, it's a *very* powerful menu system, partially *because*

Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA. I can provide the model number if needed. They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD. It is during ACPI. I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe pci=noacpi. I still cannot get to the first install screen. Fedora 10 Live will not but up either. I am using Fedora 9 from

When I try to compile the menu I got the following: gcc -m32 -funsigned-char -g -W -Wall -march=i386 -falign-functions=0 -falign-jumps=0 -falign-loops=0 -Os -MMD -S -o main.s main.c echo '.code16gcc' | cat - main.s > main.s16 as -o main.o16 main.s16 gcc -m32 -funsigned-char -g -W -Wall -march=i386 -falign-functions=0 -falign-jumps=0 -falign-loops=0 -Os -MMD -S -o biosio.s biosio.c

I have decided to make SYSLINUX 2.10-pre6 a release candidate. Please test it out if you can; if it works OK I will release it as 2.10 some time in the middle of the week. Thanks! -hpa

I'd like to add a user-friendly menuing system to pxelinux replacing/enhancing the default on the pxelinux.cfg/default Where can I find instructions on how to get started? Regards, Conrad Lawes Sr. Technical Analyst Argon Technology

Hey Murali, While playing with HDT which uses your menu, I found I can't reach more than 24 rows whereas my screen is 25. set_windows_size() relies on getnumrows() to define the maximum number of possible rows. But regarding to getnumrows() code, it sounds to report "// Actually numrows - 1". On my screen which is 80x25, getnumcols x getrowcols reports 80x24. The

Hi, I am new to this list. I am planning for hardware upgrade for a new Linux installation, and I am planning to have it Xen-based. I am planning to use stable Xen 2.x. This is not going to be a hyper-performance computer, just a home computer. So here are few questions I have: What configurations of CPU/Motherboard/Chipset etc. are already known not to work, or have problems with Xen? Are

I'm running Wine release 20011004 and have created the floppy and CDs drives for my floppy, CD and CDRW. I am automounting the devices. 1. I've noticed that if I don't have a floppy or CD in the drive wine ignores it and even if I insert a disk later the app (notepad) never sees it. 2. I have two CDs, one a Creative DVD and the other a Plextor CDRW, and I've created the

Dear All I tried to mount an external cdrom on my CentOS 5 server but un-successful . I attached the device to my USB port and then the followings have been added to my /dev folder : "cdrom -> scd0 cdrom-sr0 -> scd0 cdrw -> scd0 cdrw-sr0 -> scd0 cdwriter -> scd0 cdwriter-sr0 -> scd0" To this end , I tried to mount it as the followings (but it didn't get through) :

Hi, I am having trouble using my dvd drive in KDE, as it wont mount, using dvd, cd, cdrw. all I get is the error message saying: Could not mount device. The reported error was: cd9660: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument Has anyone got a solution for this? Thanks, Brian

First the Storix drive works just fine under DSL 4.2.1 on my Libretto. So the drive is fine, the media is fine. And cdrecord on DSL reports the media to be Manuf. index: 27 Manufacturee: Prodisc Technology Inc. I have all of ONE system with Centos 4 on it. A Trixbox 2.2; I added cdrecord and found that I could burn the iso image ONLY by including the -force option to get around the

I am trying to share a CD-RW from the samba server (SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.10) using Samba that came with the distribution. I am using user level sharing and have successfully shared out disk shares with both r and rw access. I can also access the CD-ROM and CD-RW in read mode and even do an installation from the CD-ROM to a client. When I try to create a CD using CD-RW, I get the following

Hi all, I can't boot the recent linux distro with this recorder CDRW 4x4x32 (Z041 is firmware version suppose). I have this message: Loading initrd.img isolinux Disk error 80 I try to change the cdrw and now I can install distribution like slackware or sabayon, but I don't know the reason of this problem. thanks Ciao -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te:

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I

Hello, I need to do a firmware update for my cdrw and because of a missing linux program for doing that I thought of using wine for trying it. I call the programm FlashTool.exe and no error messages occur. (The surface really looks great!) The programm detects correctly the flashable cdrw-drive even with ide-scsi and the non-flashable cdrom. But then when I click on "continue" nothing

folks, is there a clever way to compute the sum of the product of two vectors such that the common indices are not multiplied together? i.e. if i have vectors X, Y, how can i compute Sum (X[i] * Y[j]) i != j where i != j also, what if i wanted Sum (X[i] * Y[j] * R[i, j]) i != j where R is a matrix? thanks, murali

Sorry to plague the list, but I think I got the answer. The following would do: > signalList <- list(tradingRules$Signal[tradingRules$Enabled]) [[1]] > length(signalList) [1] 2 Now my problem is shifted: I have the Signal column in the original data frame referring to actual matrices previously created in R. That is, bar_signal and cif_signal are extant matrices. What I need is the
