similar to: [memdisk] collision between memdisk and emm386 (FreeDOS)

I and some other people have problems with running the freedos image included in Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD), when using memdisk for floppy emulation. Memdisk starts booting the image and freedos shows the following menu: 0 Boot Clean 1 Boot UMBPCI (silent) 2 Boot UMBPCI (optimal) 3 Boot UMBPCI (semi-defensive) 4 Boot EMM386 (optimal) 5 Boot EMM386 (semi-defensive) 6 Boot no UMB (defensive) 7 Boot

(FreeDOS developers, I apologize for the redundant parts of this message. But I want to bring the SYSLINUX folks into the discussion, and the SourceForge mailing list archives are broken.) Background: I have a little Sourceforge project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/) for which I use SYSLINUX to provide CD-ROM and PXE boot support for my boot disk. And it works great with MS-DOS. However,

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

> No. Big real mode is not real mode, and in particular > MEMDISK doesn't have the control over what mode transitions > the world outside MEMDISK performs. i understand. if only dos will be used (without himem, emm386 or something like that) that the cpu will be leaved in real mode, is that correct? and e.g. bios update would work... mfg johannes

Hi everyone, Here is the problem: I have a server running Red Hat 5.2 and Samba-2.0.4 as file server for about 20 diskless machines with MSClient boot disks (created with NT server SP3). The server shares a dir with a Clipper/DBF database for those clients and the EXE file is in a NT machine. For weeks I've been trying to put the things together but the clients always break

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

Just for the record, I want to let the list know that I succeeded in booting a modified Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy from http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ I started with a Win98 Bootfloppy from http://www.tobs.uku.co.uk. Then I made a disk image from this, using dd.exe from cygwin. Then I converted this disk image from 1.44MB to 2.88MB with winimage. Then I copied

I have added instructions to memdisk.doc for how to disable MEMDISK. However, it's unlikely that this will work if you're running under DOS, since DOS will be very unhappy about drives changing underneath it. Anyway, until the next (pre)release comes out, here are the instructions: --- memdisk.doc 27 Apr 2004 06:49:36 -0000 1.10 +++ memdisk.doc 6 Jul 2004 01:29:03 -0000 @@ -122,5

Hi, Thanks a lot for the great tools at syslinux. I have an interesting problem for which i am trying to use memdisk. I have a cluster of 40 machines (same hardware config) all needing a bios flash. Rather than doing it manually, i am trying to use the PXE mode. So i am using memdisk to boot an image of my bios flash floppy over the network. my platform configuration is supermicro motherboards

When last we saw our hero, er, sysadmin, he'd found that the "noarch" BIOS update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it. Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity (for small values of hilarity) ensued. First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem,

It appears that the WinME/XP DOS boot disk links code into the INT 15h AH=87h "mover" function which crashes the system DELIBERATELY (it puts the system in a cli/hlt/jmp loop.) I first thought it was specific to MEMDISK, but it's not; calling this function under just about any circumstances from within this version of DOS seems to crash the system hard. It's possible

Hello , I trie to use xen 3.0.3 , on my config , and virtual machine with HVM does not work . For testing the hvm virual machine i had used some iso : (1) http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/download/2006-06-25/x86_64/rescue.iso (2) http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/download/2006-06-25/x86/rescue.iso (3) http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdfullws.iso (4)

I am planning to release SYSLINUX 2.08 in the next day or so; basically 2.08-pre9 without any further changes. So, I would appreciate any and all testers for this... -hpa

Hi there, I have a client in a network using a samba-server that has to use MSDOS, because some software running on it needs a clean DOS. I installed the DOS-Client for TCPIP that is available from Microsoft V 1.0 and it works fine; the only thing is, that it takes so much memory below 640 K, that another program also running under DOS does not function correctly anymore. Maybe some of the

Hi.. Well i've tried each and every method to insert any winme command.com into any bootable image and its really giving me problems.... I even further tested the same image with reinserting the 98 command.com and the image worked just fine.. So acc to me the problem has to lie in me command.com as there is no real mode dos in ME.. Also try using umbpci.sys and lowdma.sys for managing

Hi, I've got the same Problem. Not with WinMe but Win 98SE. But what I figured out is, that it doesn't realy apply to the Command.com rather to the Way the BootImage was created. It took me a long time to get my Hands on a Image with 2.8MB that's working. Since creating one my self, was allways failling. I downloaded the Bootutils 4.3 from 3com and used the Imageedit tools. With these

Hi, I''m trying to run kernel compilations on a VM and my times are better than on the host machine. I''m using the time command, so I''m assuming its bugged. I try to use hwclock, and it spits out nothing. Is there an easy way to determine REAL time in a virtual machine? Thanks, David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list
