similar to: Broken file reading for fat16 with 3.35+?

Hello, I noticed after upgrading from 3.20, I haven't been able to get syslinux to boot properly with menu.c32 or mboot.c32 from a USB key. I get an error saying invalid kernel when its trying to load menu.c32 or mboot.c32 (or any other kernel for that matter). I tried 3.35 and 3.36-pre5. Same exact behaviour. I'm using the following to compile: gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux

Hi, I just found syslinux gives corrupt data when reading files from a FAT16 partition. The fat16 implementation was using the reserved Dir_FstClusHi (offset 20 in the directory entry, name quoted from VFAT spec from Microsoft) which is supposed to be 0 for FAT12 and FAT16. Linux ignores this and never uses the Dir_FstClusHi cluster with 0 for FAT16/12, so it works fine. >From the spec:

Hi, I did found the problem, a combination of 2 factor. 1- I taught that I did install the latest syslinux, but in fact it was the 3.36 version. 2- Thank to kevin Connelly, he point me to a problem he got with mkdosfs command. The default FAT16 do not work, but the FAT12 do. By adding -F12 to the mkdosfs command fix the problem. The default F16 do seem to work for <8M floppy image. Thank you

This is an attempt to avoid potential confusion. Here are some example sizes for the two Syslinux versions mentioned in the e-mail subject. Your build results might be different. 4.06: 1 55 Sep 22 22:23 modules/int18.com 1 108 Nov 1 18:07 version.mk 1 138 Nov 1 18:07 version.gen 1 138 Nov 1 18:07 version.h 1 239 Sep 22 22:23 modules/poweroff.com 1 408 Sep 22 22:25

Could i get an example to make a binary hard disk image with `mkdiskimage', populate it and install syslinux please? Preferably with a single FAT partition.

Hello! I get some odd behaviour using my structs: "myKernelMap" = type {int (sbyte*)*, int ()*} "Kernel" = type {"myKernelMap"*} The second member ( int()* ) is a pointer to the %getchar() function. I want to call getchar using this function: int "callmyKernelgetchar_kernel"("Kernel"* "myKernel") { "PTRMAP" =

Hey, Looks like read disk function which was launched in 3.35 isnt working. Did anyone test this on any hardware? I'm using it thru the com32 interface to read contents of the active partition of a USB boot key (syslinux). I did a sample test like: void scanAndPrint() { com32sys_t regs_in; char *sectorBuf = __com32.cs_bounce; int i; memset(sectorBuf, 0x0, 512); // XXX MARK 1

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

In Syslinux 5-6.02, the "global append" directive is being (unintentionally) ignored in some cases. Updating Syslinux from prior versions, when using a "global append" directive, will cause unexpected results. For example, take the following simple configuration file: *** DEFAULT mykernel APPEND root=/dev/sda2 *** Note that the 'append' line is a global

Sorry for the delay, I should not send email on an holiday week-end. I'll try to answer all the questions by explaining what does work for me right now, and what I'd like to do. I have a script to create the a USB stick or an ISO image. The boot media contains many DOS images, and I use versamenu to select one of them. If my DOS image is smaller than 8megs, everything is working fine as

Hello, I have just ordered the "ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis (Use R)" but while it arrives :) can anyone please show me how to setup and add a simple legend to a ggplot? This is my use case, I need a legend showing CI "Classic", "Own bootstrap", "R bootstrap": library(ggplot2) e <- 1 p <- 1 x <- 1:S y <- rep(betas[p],S) data

Hello! I'm having trouble with pointer traversing. I have a design as follows: class -> map -> classFunctions Starting with a pointer to the class, I want to get a pointer to a classFunction via a pointer to the map. I can't get that function pointer! How shall I think to get the traversing right (see code below)? Is it something with the fact that I am using only pointers in my
