At first I thought, I was dealing with the known EBIOS/CBIOS-problem. The symptom was exactly the same (hangs at ...EBIOS). As 3.10-pre8 and 3.10-pre9, in contrary what was mentioned in the ML, did not bring any improvement, I looked deeper into what could be my specific problem. I found out that the program just halted at 'cmp [esi],edx' (line 658; ldlinux.asm 3.10-pre9)! By replacing

Hi, i am looking now at the code which i assume loads the rest of isolinux.bin. The entry point for program execution from the MBR is obviously at http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/core/isolinux.asm#n186 (Do i get it right that this is the Intel syntax ? (Gronfff)) If POP yields the victim of the most recent not yet popped PUSH, then this does not look correctly coordinated

Here's an interesting problem, and the first partial failure I've seen when booting USB keys. I've installed a bootable Knoppix "CD" image to my USB key, and posted a writeup of my installation method here: http://knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25402 Up until now, I've always had one of: 100% success (it fully boots) 100% failure (BIOS fails to recognize the USB

Hey folks, I am seeing this issue with machines on which I do I/O ops thru cbios mode. I noticed some of the reads at high sectors seem to be returning the wrong data even though the op itself succeds. The output of the int 13 call returns EFLAGS: 0x246 (CF is 0) and EAX is 0x1, which indicates success according to ralph brown's int13/02h page. The I/O code is exactly the same as the one in

Hello, I'm trying to create and boot a Win98SE-DOS OS through Hard Disk emulation. My src files are from a Win98SE 1440K floppy image file, with a x86 boot sector (dl'd from the net - I have no floppy drive and a slow net link 3.2KB). I don't know what to put into the partition boot record of my image and how to load dos.bss properly (the docs explain for floppy images not for HD

Hi Peter, Please pull the following changes. Paulo, I had to revert your "pxe: resolve names via DNS from protected-mode code" change because dns_resolv() is only implemented for PXELINUX and causes undefined symbol references for ISOLINUX, etc. Feel free to make the change again on top of the revert. The following changes since commit e7bd19def830e8341b1a100956345f1028740b9e:

I installed SYSLINUX 4.00-pre32 with the extlinux installer (FAT32 partition): $ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --install "/media/NANO PRO/" [sudo] password for gert: /media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1 The update function still doesn't work on FAT32: $ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --update "/media/NANO PRO/" /media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1 ./extlinux/extlinux: no previous

After a couple of very late nights I actually have a VERY preliminary test of the rewritten SYSLINUX available for preview. However; don't expect it to do anything miraculous yet; the testing it has gotten can best be described as infinitesimal. In theory, though, it should now support EDD and FAT32, as well as FAT filesystems with very large clusters (up to 64K). NOTE: The Win32

Hi all, I use XP on my laptop PC, with 30 GB HD (single partition), and a 3.5" hard drive (not a stick), accessed through a USB encasing, partitioned as five logical drives. I have successfully set up syslinux to boot several Ubuntu versions from the primary USB hard drive partition, and no problems there. The problem is, I would like to have an entry in the menu, like "Boot from

Hi all. I have managed to join my samba server to an AD domain. I can now join using the net command and get various other bits of info. Wbinfo -u /g/t etc works nps Getent however doesn't.
