memdisk from 3.36 crashing on Dell PowerEdge 1955
Hello list,
I had to boot a Dell Diagnostic Disk today, and tried doing this via
memdisk - which was when I noticed memdisk isn't working for me at all,
neither from pxelinux nor syslinux.
After trying around with 'raw', 'bigraw' and the like I noticed it
doesn't even do anything when just using:
LABEL diag
KERNEL memdisk
.. when I try that:
boot: diag
nothing

Problem with memdisk and DOS on USB
I'm new to memdisk and I wanted to have multiple floppy boot images on
my USB key, I installed GRUB2 as the boot loader and have memdisk in
/syslinux and my images in /image, I first tried booting normal
images, memtest86+ works, my linux kernel work and they boot
perfectly.
Now using memdisk, I tried booting Spinrite which uses FreeDOS, it
booted fine with no argument them frozen at querying

version 3.35 boot error
Nice to see the venerable syslinux updated to version 3.35. I did
happen to encounter an issue with the latest release though. I performed
'syslinux -f' on a 32MB USB drive and all seemed well...until I tried to
boot from it. Error message and drive details below:

SYSLINUX 2.08-pre5 released
Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have
lost count...
Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and
have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for
harddisks too, but only for the MBR.)
As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss
images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been

I'm trying to boot Feature Tool 2.08 (free download from

can't:

3.53-pre5 released - release candidate
Hi all,
I have received a fair number of bug reports over the last few weeks
-- even days -- and I am therefore declaring 3.53-pre5 a release
candidate for a 3.53 bug fix release.
This 3.53 will not contain either of the two major features under
development -- client side state (including boot-once) and gPXE
integration -- since I want to avoid destabilizing the code base beyond

memdisk image problems on shuttle hardware
hpa,
Seeing your post about 3.71, I wanted to get a message out even though I
don't have the stats right now.
I am having a problem with memdisk with a lot of shuttle computers, but
also affects a variety of other hardware (low though, 5%? less?).
The image that I can most reliably test against is the Hitachi Drive
fitness Test.

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided
to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a

Please test them out and let me know how they do.

SYSLINUX-3.52-pre5: XP BOOTSEC.BIN Bug
I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination
from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new
ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux
distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I
updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to
boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the

mysteries of memdisk code
Hello,
I was browsing the code for memdisk (I want to adjust it to my hardware)
and noticed a couple of things that I am struggling to understand. I
would appreciate if someone could clarify the following mysteries to me:
1) _binary_memdisk_bin_start[], _binary_memdisk_bin_end[] and
_binary_memdisk_bin_size[]; These variables are declared (as extern
const chat in 'setup.c')

syslinux-3.36 Physical Floppy Disk Access Problem
Hello,
I am using the pxelinux.0 and memdisk files from distribution syslinux-3.36.
I am no longer able to access the real floppy disk drive B: instead I just

The default config file is as follows

SYSLINUX 3.73 released
Changes in 3.73:
* Upgrade gPXE to release version 0.9.5.
* Fix a number of build errors on various platforms.
* Handle systems with E820 "extended attributes" per ACPI 3.
Someone "cleverly" decided to change the E820 spec in a
backwards-incompatible manner!
* MEMDISK: default to "safeint".
* Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", standard

Dell problems with PXELINUX 3.62
Good day again Daniel,
So the first thing I did was to remove the >NUL for your XMSDSK line and
put a PAUSE after it in AUTOEXEC.BAT. That way, I could see the error
message:
*** XMS RAMdisk v1.9I (FU - 08/98): XMS get free mem error.
Then I noticed that if you run AUTOEXEC.BAT manually from the DOS CLI,
XMSDSK actually succeeds! So that led to a new test: Duplicate the
XMSDSK line.

ONERROR not triggered in PXELINUX 3.31 when ramdisk missing
Hello,
I tested some things, and found the following:
when the kernel image file is present, but the initrd image is not,
ONERROR is not called, and PXELINUX stays in the prompt forever ...
Other error scenarios tested okay, a down/unresponding TFTP server can
lead to 15-20 minutes delay until all tried filenames timeout out ...
Just to let you know :)

SYSLINUX 3.36-pre6 (release candidate)
I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries
that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am
classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if
you have had problems with 3.35.
