similar to: bootable floppy image question

Hi, I suspect this bug has already been reported, but here it is just in case: the bootable floppies I produced with syslinux 2.10 (just by running 'syslinux /dev/fd0') are not able to 'remember' the parameters I pass at the boot prompt. Namely, to boot a USB pen from one of my floppies I pass something like boot: MoviX MEDIA=usb (where MoviX is the boot label) but the usb boot

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

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

Is it possable to boot a diskimage with syslinux? So often I run into bios upgrade disks images or can easily create a disk image and would like an easy way to just boot these images. I know isolinux does this and I vagely remember using it to make a bootable windows 95 cd back in the day. It worked to. It would be nice if I could just copy the disk image to a usbstick and use syslinux to boot

Hi there! After reading the last posting about creating a boot disk as non-root, I have a question of my own: Does anyone know a way to produce a floppy/harddisk image able to boot a DOS environment (without using windows, vmware or other tools of that kind)? Is it perhaps even possible to create larger disk images (>2.88MB)? It's no problem to get an image with a DOS filesystem, but

I have never used SYSLINUX and don't really know much about Linux either, but want to give it a try, and thought I would start by creating a bootable Linux floppy using these instructions from syslinux.doc:- ++++ CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY +++ In order to create a bootable Linux floppy using SYSLINUX, prepare a normal MS-DOS formatted floppy. Copy one or more Linux kernel files

It is now possible to build a bootable floppy image which contains HDT, with my patch applied to Erwans HDT branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=16b37fe2266c920087f88cdec94243b71218d871 Unpack the Syslinux archive and build whole Syslinux first, then cd to ./com32/hdt/ and make hdt.img $ make $ cd ./com32/hdt/ $ make hdt.img Now you have a 2.88 MB floppy image which

I'm reading the docs accompanying SYSLINUX where it says:- ++++ CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY +++ In order to create a bootable Linux floppy using SYSLINUX, prepare a normal MS-DOS formatted floppy. Copy one or more Linux kernel files to it, then execute the DOS command: syslinux [-s] a: Now before I run this program, I'd like to know which 'one or more Linux

I would like to be able to create a 2.88MB bootable floppy image to hold the kernel and initrd -- will be used for automated install. In various newsgroups there have been many posting attempting to describe how to achieve this, but none of them is complete. Can syslinux be used to achieve this? What about memdisk? Thank you in advance. Fet

I realize this is probably the wrong list but since some of the principals this list deals with are similar in nature I figured it could't hurt. What I am looking to do: Provide a solution to either boot from a floppy disk, establish a network connection, give user the ability to run utilities such as fdisk and dd. as well as provide the same solution as a PXE bootable image. My

Does anyone know how to install the gptmbr.bin onto a USB drive with Windows? I noticed that it would be really easy to modify the source of the installer to install gptmbr.bin instead of mbr.bin with the -m flag, but I'd like a solution that doesn't require me to maintain my own custom syslinux. I'm open to writing and submitting a patch to add a new flag (say -g) to install

I'm having problems installing CentOS via a USB drive. First, I tried using Unetbootin, but with no avail. The 8MB netinstall doesn't work, and the big DVD image doesn't work either. http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html Then I tried this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/ with a CentOS DVD file, and that did not work (just hangs). I tried

Hi all, I am using sys/isolinux for a mini-distro I am developing (movix.sf.net) and I have a few questions based on the feedback I got from users. As it is well known, there are some BIOS on which isolinux does not work, so I had to create a boot floppy image for those unfortunate users that have that kind of BIOS. The floppy boots, looks for the CD and, if succesful, mounts the CD initrd.gz

I'm planning on building a media file server, from which I can host media files to several set top boxes connect to my television. My plan is to have a huge collection of music and many emulated games, and movies. The idea is to just have a stripped down file server with a large and hard drive, fast network connect. So from any system in my house I could have access to all of my media.

I would like to see Mame/32 working in Wine, however, it uses a couple of VxDs to do some things (I think it is timing and joysticks). Normally VxD's do not work in Wine, but Mame/32 is open source. With access to the source code of the VxD's, would it be possible to modify the VxD files to work with Wine? If so, what would need to be done to make the VxD drivers work with Wine?
