HPA, a longterm reminder. See below. Can you also make a LABEL ignore other labels if no KERNEL statement is found in between? That way you could define multiple aliasses for an entry. label foo label bar label memtest kernel memtestp foo ignores 'label bar' , 'label memtest' and executes 'kernel memtest' bar ignores 'label memtest' and executes 'kernel

HPA, is it possible to add a parameter/argument to syslinux.com/syslinux.exe to specify a file? currently it's something like SYSLINUX A: I'd like the following also to be possible: SYSLINUX A: A:\SYSLINUX.BIN It still copies LDLINUX.BIN to A:, but writes the generated bootsector intended for drive A: to a 512byte user-specified file Perhaps to allow both at the same time even SYSLINUX

perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager? Bernd >>> No, since booting from CD-ROM requires that the El Torito part of the BIOS is activated, which it won't be if it didn't boot from CD-ROM in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing:

Does SYSLINUX have any idea which DOS driveletter would be assigned to the disk it is booting from? At www.veder.com someone is trying to build a USB flash drive. However, FreeDOS does not seem to boot correctly from it (bootsector trouble maybe, or kernel itself is confusing drives), thus we're thinking of using Syslinux + Memdisk + bootimage, but somehow we want to be able to also access the

Hello HPA, I think on harddisks, Syslinux is going to lose somehow from other bootloaders like LILO, Grub and others. However, SYSLINUX is still VERY usefull for removable media like diskettes, Zipdisks, USB Flash keys, etc.. I don't know if the fact that Syslinux is now installed using blockmapping is really breaking the usefullness for harddisks. You already mentioned system attribute

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

>No, but you can write a comboot/com32 module to do it if you wish. I meant for syslinux.exe/com (the installer). that BIOS issue is now handled in the driver the author wrote. Unfortunately I can't find another cdrom which boots but lets me access A: to really demonstrate it's the BIOS which is doing this. Every non-emulation cdrom either uses isolinux (even ReactOS bootloader) or

Is the new Isolinux series effecting hardware in a different way as 2.xx series? I'm getting a system crash in VMware. I guess this is a Vmware issue, but thought you might want to know. 2.xx series works OK for me. I get to see 8 dots when loading a 360KB imagefile, following by crash message mentioned below. Replacing MEMDISK by old version does not matter, only replacing isolinux.bin 3.05

a member of the FreeDOS project has transformed Smart Boot Manager into a COM32 module for Syslinux. Might be a bit more usefull than Syslinux -> memdisk -> imagefile -> Smart Boot Manager ( -> 'boot from cd -> cdrom ) I've inserted it into this diskette image: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta9sr1/fdos1440.img That's nice to

HPA, is it possible to add GZ support in syslinux itself? Some standalone software compresses very well, but is not compressed. Example is the Memtest86+ binary (90KB uncompressed --> 35KB gzip'd) and maybe Smart Boot Manager (gzip'd COM32 binary instead of normal COM32 binary?). I'm using both on a simple bootdisk, and all space savings are welcome. a workaround could ofcourse

Which seems logical if you boot a kernel (like Linux, or Memdisk with an imagefile), but not when doing a local boot (diskette/harddisk) In other words: boot from cdrom, and if you then load a disk-image, eltorito.sys should load. If not loading a

>information a bit closer; it'd find that it's marked accordingly. UDMA2.SYS author now worked around it, it seems you do something with "DPTE" in isolinux.asm but not using it (probably for memdisk or direct floppy/harddisk emulation?). also something about EDD v1.1 and v3.0 specifications and setting bits to 1. Anyway, the driver works now on: BIOS -> cdrom ->

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Lately R has been behaving strange on my Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) machine, with occasional segfaults.

Okay, spending the time to dot t's and cross i's (or something like that), I think I have something now that can be called 3.00-worthy, so let's call it a release candidate. Changes over the earlier 3.00 prereleases: - -m and -a options now supported by the DOS installer. - PXELINUX now allows IP addresses, FQDNs, and truncated hostnames when specifying an alternate TFTP server

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

I have a Lilo.conf file, which I have tried for many hours to convert to Syslinux. I looked around on the web for references on translating some of the components. I want to convert it to Syslinux/Isolinux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. When I tried to convert it I made sure that the kernel and initrd had proper DOS names and such. -Michael =:LILO.CONF:= prompt timeout=10
