similar to: Booting LINUX from external USB Hard Drive

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

Has anybody tried to boot a dos disk via memdisk with a usb flash device as a primary hard drive? I have a 512MB flash key that when connected becomes my primary hard drive (new bios) - 0x80. If I boot a MS-DOS 7.10 floppy, one gets the command prompt and I can see the contents of my flash key as drive C:. But, if I make a image of the floppy and boot the image via memdisk, then memdisk

Hi all, I try to boot an msdos system using pxelinux and memdisk on my PC engines Wrap-2.c card and I have problems with it This is what I see: PXELINUX 3.11 Debian-2006-03-16 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hello all, I tried sending this message to freebsd-config and freebsd-install, after subscribing to them, but no one answered back... so I am posting my question here. I just downloaded ISO images for 4.8-RELEASE, and prepared them for installation on an brand new ASUS P4P800-based computer. More information about this motherboard and integrated peripherals list, can be found here:

I'm about to build a server. I want to use a P4, and have lotsa RAM, I don't need audio, I do want to do RAID, but I'll do software RAID if hw isn't available for IDE. the RH hardware list seems rather woefully out of date, does anyone have any recommendations for a good motherboard guaranteed to work? I'm looking at ASUS P4P800-E-deluxe which has a driver on the ASUS site

I'm looking at deploying a new set of servers based around Intel P4 800MHZ FSB processors. Currently I'm looking at the following 2 motherboards and I'm wondering how well supported they are under -STABLE (specificaly the ATA and LAN as well as text mode video) Model Chipset ASUS P4P8X Intel 865P ASUS P4P800 Intel 865PE Also I'm looking for recommendations on Dual Xeon

I am using an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe which is a motherboard that has been tested with Asterisk. I am unsure about the PCI slot and IRQ settings in the BIOS and am having problems with a WCFXO card sharing with other devices. Any suggestions on the settings required for Asterisk to avoid IRQ conflicts? Thanks :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

Hello Hamish. I found your message just googling for Suse and sk98lin. Did you solve your problem? I had the same case and only way to restore was to change NIS driver speed settings from AUTO to 10Mb. And it was not related to OS as the same problem is in WXP ( I have dual boot, ASUS P4P800, integrated GB NIS ). Oleg.

Okay, now, before 3.10 is finalized... what bug reports am I still forgetting? -hpa

Hello syslinuxers I'm stuck with a scientific problem which gives me headaches: I have a laptop (Gateway MX3410) which has a SD memory card reader. Recently an interesting thought crossed my mind: why don't I setup a 2GB SD card as a harddrive and put some rescue tools on it. So I dug on the net and I came across the idea of using memdisk to boot floppy images without the need of a

Hi, I'm encountering a very odd problem with calls to anova.mlm() from within a function. Consider the following code (data.n is a matrix of numeric values): mlmfit <- lm(data.n ~ 1) mlmfit0 <- lm(data.n ~ 0) print(mlmfit) anova(mlmfit,mlmfit0,test="Spherical") If I run it just like this from the console, it works just fine. If, however, I call it from within a function,

I am trying to download a 200MB ISO file and each time I attempt to do so it will timeout after around 30 MB. I've used both a Microsoft and a FreeBSD tftp client with the same results. When PXE booting a pc and letting it download the ISO it either hangs halfway through or the ISO appears to be corrupted when trying to boot to it from ramdisk. I am looking for suggestions on how to

Hi, I am looking for a way, i.e. best practice for managing config changes safely and efficiently. Something like clever module organization could certainly help, but I am looking for something else as well: Is it possible to set up puppetd in a way, that it just listens and reports, but does not apply config changes automatically, and in the same time has the ability to trigger it somehow?

I have many hp laptops that boot msdos with memdisk + pxelinux perfectly. However, I recently have the need to usb boot msdos with syslinux. And memdisk. When the dos Image loads I get "loading bootsector..." and then it halts. Sometimes I can get "starting ms-dos" but freezes as well. I'm trying to boot clean msdos floppy image created with winimage. I'm using

Hi everybody, I failed to make Samba 3.0.0 /3.0.2a working from Windows side on the slightly different Slackware?s. Last try was the ?current? Slackware version(kernel 2.4.25) of some March 20?s with Samba 3.0.2a in it. Server: Asus P4P800-PIV?RAM 1.5(1)Gb- 3Com 3C940 integrated. Client(s): W2k SP3, Realtek 8139 NIC.

Hi, I'm using anova.mlm sphericity tests/corrections, and I'm getting different values than SAS. In order to be able to use these values for publications, I'd need to know more about the SAS bug that is mentioned in the Reference Manual. - What exactly causes the different values? - Is it just a slight difference, or can I expect significant differences in H-F/G-G epsilons and

Can I boot to memdisk using loadlin.exe? I saw that there were references to loadlin in the memdisk init.S (at least in the 2.04 version) so I thought it would be possible. If there's some resource that I can refer to I'd love to know that. DR-DOS 7.02 loadlin.exe 1.6c Sorry if this is a FAQ, I looked through the digest some before I joined this list, but I didn't see anything there

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to
