Hello, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where

Does someone know where I could get my hands on an ima that's larger than 2.88meg... I use winimage for all my ima's and stuff but i'm having trouble configuring a custom size. If anyone has a large ima I could utilize that would be great, preferably one fitting this memdisk supported size: 3,932,160 bytes (3840K) c=80 h=2 s=48 3.5" DSED (extended) If not instructions on making

Hi, I'm trying to use pxelinux+memdisk to boot to dos. And using dos tcp/ip connect to windows network. I've used winimage to create (dos.ima) image of dos bootable floppy. But when I type dos at boot: prompt, it doesn't boot to dos instead show a multi-coloured screen. At this moment ctrl+alt+delete also doesn't work. Pls help Jitender

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items.

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

Hi Aaron, i know it is not an interactive menu - but in my 'config' file i call for a textfile to be displayed : DISPLAY menu.txt that contains all my labels. See the first part of my 'config' : label 0 LOCALBOOT 0 label 1 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND initrd=images/w2k/unatt.ima label 2 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND

using winimage, create a custom image size using [b]total number of sectors[/b], any size, unsure of max change [b]boot sector properties[/b] to [b]win 95/98[/b] and save the file to the isolinux directory as floppy.ima then using isolinux.cfg file add this default 1 prompt 1 label 1

has anyone got memdisk to work directly? i mean such as: add_item("W98 Boot","Windows 98 Boot",OPT_RUN, "memdisk initrd=98se.ima",0); I have tried various methods, and I get the same results: Loading memdisk....Ready.

Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

Hardware with issue is a Lenovo T410 (circa 2007?): SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2009 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is working for Ghostcast/peer to peer. SysLinux PXE boot (pxelinux.0) version 2014 - PXE boot works, select Ghost from PXE menu, PC-DOS loads, Ghost.exe runs and networking is NOT working for Ghostcast/peer to

sorry - i must have overlooked the part where you mentioned that.. my fault. What software are you looking at ? Altiris maybe ? I am, ofcourse interested in the option you are looking for. Please keep this list updated.

I have many hp laptops that boot msdos with memdisk + pxelinux perfectly. However, I recently have the need to usb boot msdos with syslinux. And memdisk. When the dos Image loads I get "loading bootsector..." and then it halts. Sometimes I can get "starting ms-dos" but freezes as well. I'm trying to boot clean msdos floppy image created with winimage. I'm using

Has anyone had a problem with afud408 (Award flash program) freezing the system when ran from memdisk? The freeze occurs when just running afud408 (not attempting to update bios, although it freezes then as well.) I was using pxelinux/memdisk 3.36, I upgrade to 3.51, and also fell back to 2.11 all have the same issue. I have tried all the switches for memdisk that I saw posted on the memdisk

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no

Hello, i've got a problem with boot pxe on pc, all my pc works fine except in a room where all the same pc doesnt works : my configuration (dhcp tftp etc...) works fine also here is a part of my tftpboot directory ghost/ memdisk menu.c32 pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg/ ./ghost: ghost288.IMA ghost_geii_101.IMA ghost_MM.IMA ghost_MM.IMA.old ./pxelinux.cfg: default here is a part of my default

In other words: I'm suggesting to use WinImage as it also allows easy injection of new files *and* updating of already existing files. May I ask which vendor is distributing a DOS FW update that is 20MB? I'd like to see the files. Sometimes you just need the .bin/.rom and the actual FW update EXE and it would fit a 5MB FDD image.

My ?default? was just a sample to prevent further tl;dr :) Right, by 2014 I meant 6.03. I didn?t notice in the docs this was a known issue. If keeppxe is a bug with 6.03, that?s likely my issue. Do I drop back to 6.02 or X? Which version? Thanks, David Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2018, at 6:53 PM, Ady Ady via Syslinux <syslinux at zytor.com> wrote: > > >> Hardware
