similar to: Usin ISO Linux & Memdisk to create a Viritual Floppydrive that Linux & Windows can load driver disk from.

Hi, It is becoming a bad habit for big OEM vendors to sell computers & servers without floppy drives. Unfortunatly both Windows and Linux (RedHat) need a floppy drive to load storage drivers etc. during installation. This is what I was thinking: Use ISOLINUX and MEMDISK to load a floppy image of a driver disk into memory as a viritual floppy drive "A:"/"/dev/fda" And then

This is a minor tweak on 3.11-pre2. If nothing new comes up, I will release this as 3.11 probably early next week. -hpa

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

New module which check if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook: mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes ' jz

Hello All, I am using NU2's BCD with the isolunix/memdisk add-on to create the cd. Floppy images work fine, however the bootsector (w2K et.al) doesn't. I get an NTLDR not found error. Not a problem, as the issue is that the bootsector needs to be in the root of the CD. Well if I do that then how do I spec that location properly in isolinux.cfg for the label tag? For example- this

I have a backup script that copies the contents of a backup directory to my local server at night. The command is run from a script: /etc/cron.daily/backup /usr/bin/rsync -arvz -e ssh user@servername.com:/home/backups/* backup_disk/servername/ The output from the cron job is: Permission denied, please try again.

Hi, I just found this post: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-September/005814.html ONTIMEOUT was broken in menu.c32, and you fixed it. But the fix broke support for LABEL references in ONTIMEOUT. I changed my "ONTIMEOUT local" to "ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1" and it works! Anoying is that I tried ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 before. This failed, but after having a look at the

Hello, I have a problem with a comboot 16 bits program for syslinux, I use the API openFile, ReadFile and CloseFile for read my own config file. It's ok. I use the int13h to write a floppy disk (syslinux runs on a USB stick), after the first call to int13h, all the call to openFile return an error. Do you know what's the problem? Is it possible to use int13h when we use syslinux API?

Dear all, I have a few points that I am unsure about using scan. I know that it is covered in the intro to R, and also has been discussed here: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg04869.html but nevertheless, I cannot get it to work. I have a potentially very large matrix that I need to read in (35MB). I am about to run it on a server with 16G of memory etc, so I hope it

My name is Marcelo Luda, I'm new to the list. I'm from Argentina and in the place where I work we ara planing to migrate to linux, but only if we can manage to run all the software we now use in windows. Obisuly, we are trying with Wine :-) Most of the app I need to run use MS RDO . We managed to install sussefully RDO and MSODBC but the apps crash when they try to use it. I attached a

Microsoft has their "boot" version of their iSCSI software initiator. Apparently this still requires that the network card be iSCSI Boot "enabled." Intel seems to be the only obvious company out there supporting it on their Server adapters - I was wondering if there are any thoughts/plans on implementing iSCSI Boot functionality in the HVM Boot ROM? Or maybe there''s

Hi all, I have merged Tim's patches to the mboot loader, and have pushed it out as 3.20-pre7. I guess I'm going to actually have to make a 3.20 here soon... -hpa

I am working on a Linux-based boot disk for my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/), and I have hit a snag. Under Linux 2.6, the kernel (via HDIO_GETGEO) always reports the C/H/S geometry of an IDE drive as X/16/63. But most BIOSes want to use the geometry Y/255/63. Most partitioning tools (including Parted) will take clues from an existing partition table and adapt to the BIOS values.

greetings, i just know i have read several times on this list and in other places that on a RAID5 array that the MBR should be placed on the /boot partition. is this truly correct and if so, why? my experiences of putting the MBR on the /boot partition are contrary to that it will even work and boot that way... comments please? regards, - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

One of my pass requires LiveIntervals to build the interference graph, because LiveVariables do not provide an interface to iterate through all viritual registers. But LiveIntervalAnalysis.h is not in "include/llvm/CodeGen", so I have to either include it by: #include "../../llvm/lib/CodeGen/LiveIntervalAnalysis.h" or point my project include path to

Ok, you could add a method to LiveVariables that returns VirtRegInfo.size(). The virtual registers are defined by the range: [MRegisterInfo::FirstVirtualRegister,
