Memdisk 2.08 cannot boot an XP boot floppy image (XP appears to use WinME boot files for its bootable floppy). For example: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/download.htm This disk will not boot with Memdisk (Memdisk starts to load the image and then hangs). I'm using Bart's tools to build a boot CD: http://www.nu2.nu/corpmodboot/ Which uses Isolinux and Memdisk.

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

Hi, I'm trying to use pxelinux+memdisk to boot to dos. And using dos tcp/ip connect to windows network. I've used winimage to create (dos.ima) image of dos bootable floppy. But when I type dos at boot: prompt, it doesn't boot to dos instead show a multi-coloured screen. At this moment ctrl+alt+delete also doesn't work. Pls help Jitender

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

Hello! I am already using isolinux & memdisk for making bootable cd-roms (with Bart's method - www.nu2.nu). My question is if memdisk can be used to boot a disk image, directly from hard disk - when in Dos mode. thank you, Adrian Tarog Scanare antivirus realizata de mailserver-ul Jolidon

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is

Hi I'm using memdisk as part of CD Shell' isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ...

Hi guys, This may be a stupid question... I was trying to get a machine to boot with PXE. Everything supportive is setup, the DNS/DHCP works fine, TFTP is also handing over pxelinux.0 and config files correctly. The problem happens at: label xxx kernel memdisk initrd blabla My machine would report "cannot find kernel: memdisk". When doing a tcpdump, I found the machine actually

Some additional fields from the EDD-4 spec. draft for the Device Parameter Table have been added into the structure in setup.c and memdisk.inc.

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre21; this fixes ISOLINUX, and adds a fix for MEMDISK -- it so happens that running ISOLINUX under Bochs triggers a bug with similar behaviour as I've seen reported on here, so I'm *hoping* this might fix the "doesn't work without harddisk" problem and perhaps the IBM/USB problem some people have been reporting. Again, I really want

For anyone wanting to boot an .ISO with MEMDISK: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andytim/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=ref s/heads/memdisk-iso NOTE: Your protected-mode OS (Windows, Linux, *BSD) booted from such a MEMDISK will not magically find the MEMDISK image in RAM and use it as a CD without a MEMDISK driver. There are currently 0 MEMDISK drivers in the field, but that might change someday.

Hi, I saw the Nov. 2006 message on Memdisk having a problem with ThinkPads. I also saw the comment in the memdisk code enabling and disabling A20. I've got a ThinkPad x61t that memdisk is not loading disk images on. The symptom is that it gets as far as saying "Loading boot sector... booting..." Then image partially runs - FreeDOS prints out its kernel message and it's

Hi there, we've got the following problem, while Windows-Clients works with samba and a DOS-Client connects over Mars_NWE to the same Linux-Server: When the DOS-Client opens a file on the linux-server and the WinClient opens the same file, and when both clients want to write the same file, the windows-client gets an error and crashes. We tried it only with the windows-clients and there

I've been trying to use memdisk with grub2 to boot some iso images -( I've done this without any problem with pxe ) There is a memdisk.mod in /boot/grub/ and I've seen some material talking about this, but no example of a menu. After trying countless permutations - Right now I have : menuentry "Memtest-Plus 4.2" { echo `hello` insmod lvm

For the boot floppy at http://superkeen.com/peacecorpsfiles/FUZOMA14.IMG using memdisk from syslinux version 3.72 boots correctly, but for memdisk versions newer than 3.72 (I tested 3.73, 3.75, 3.85, and 3.86) all hang at boot with the following message: Loading boot sector... booting FreeDOS kernel - SVN (build 2039 OEM:0xfd [compiled Oct 2 2009]) Kernel compatibility 6.22 - BORLANDC ...

Hello, I would like to access Memdisk (as a RAM disk) from my application in pure protected mode. "Pure" means that I don't' want to have any switches to real mode even if these switches are automatically handled by Memdisk interrupt stubs. The reason is that my application is running on top of Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM). This virtualization layer is quite simple and
