similar to: Version 3.52 problem.

I have installed various pc with the version Syslinux 3.31 without particular problems. Trying new 3.52 or 3.36 the PC does not leave more giving the message Returning to the previous version all it resumes to work correctly. What I have mistaken?

Hi, I stumbled on a rather odd problem. A brand new HP Compaq dx2200 computer didn't want to boot up pxelinux+memdisk image. The computer just gave "Disk I/O error" and stopped there. Workaround was rather simple... Just attach regular floppy drive to the motherboard and everything started working fine. I tried with older 2.05 (pxelinux+memdisk) and newer 3.31. Both produced

Hello everybody, I''am trying to make an installation of a sles9 based system. In order to install this system after booting a floppy disk (or usb) should be "inserted" with a auto configuration file. My problem is what ever I try I can not attach a floppy image to the sles9. the command I tried is xm block-attach <dom nr> file://path/to/floppy.img /dev/fd0 w After

Hello! Below is an excerpt from the thread in October. I have the same problem, but my laptop (which is a Brand new HP Compaq NC6230) does not have options in the BIOS to enable or disable floppy support. It just doesn't have one. I assume it leaves it enabled for USB Floppy support, but does not come with the drive. My ISOLinux setup is a UBCD. I tried to make my own, but the lack of

Dear Samba team. I have hybrid network with MSDOS / Win9x(ME) / Win2k/XP(NT) computers at home. I'm using Samba as PDC. W9x/me clients works fine as so as with roving profiles, but I'm experiencing problems with w2k, NT4/XP just not test because i'm testing on my box at home and when it'll work fine then I'll go to clients from which smaller part has XPs installed on PC.

Hi all! ...As I'm the author of http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=190646 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408 (for Steven: these two links are for the SAME file...) ...I'd like to say some comments, to let you understand what the peculiarities of my approch are... My approach is more minimalistic: etherboot have already the capabilities to

Hello! I'd like to load a ramdisk with syslinux, but from another disk. And I've found this in the syslinux faq: "An initrd is loaded from a DOS file if the option "initrd=filename" (where filename is the filename of the initrd image; the file must be located in the root directory on the boot floppy)"

Hello, I am a *nix newbie I am trying to boot a DOS boot disk using PXE (to Ghost on windows images). We have an existing PXE server which successfully serves out PXElinux and Fedora builds based on that but my floppy disk image with memdisk isn't working I have tried a few different floppy images which people have posted as ones that work for them but I doubt the disk is the problem

Hi. We've been using PXELINUX for years, to kick off OS installations (floppy images) and booting assorted tools. The addition of ISO support in memdisk opened up some new alternatives that we also use, e.g. booting WinPE ISO images over PXE. Today I downloaded a BIOS for a HP EliteBook 8440p and discovered that the BIOS file is 3 MB. I could probably squeeze it onto a 2.88 MB floppy image

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

Hi all, I have a samba 3.0.2a installation on a mandrake 9.2 linux box. Global config is "share level" In this samba server I need : 1- One read only share for anonymous users (win9x-win2k-...) 2- One read/write share for one authentified user (accessible from a dos floppy drive and for win9x - win2k computer All is fine except that before I reinstall this new samba server, I was

I have been trying to boot a kernel I compiled. I tried 2 different USB thumb drives. I tried win32 syslinux 3.31 and 3.36 with no luck. I even tried another known good kernel for testing purposes. After syslinux starts I get "Invalid or corrupt kernel image" but I don't think it is even really trying to run it. The last time I built a kernel about 1-1/2 years ago you could put a

I have periodically been trying to get memdisk to boot images larger than your average 1.44Mb floppy and have always been unsuccessful. I cannot boot anything greater than 1.44Mb. The systems I'm attempting to do this with are not too old but they are not recent either. One is a Asus P5A and the other is a Intel SE440BX both with the most recent bios firmware patches available applied. If

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.31. It is functionally identical to SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4. Changes in 3.31: * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. Changes in

Dear all, Here's the case, I've got several (5) win2k machines being served by a Samba PDC (RH9). I did an upgrade of samba: service smb stop cd /path/samba-3.0.0/source make install service smb start Everything seems to work fine EXCEPT...all the floppy links in all the SendTo directories (and Recent, if used) in all the profiles on the Samba PDC were corrupted. This corruption

Hi, Thanks a lot for your exceptional work.... I guess many people dealing with bootable CD's just could'nt do anything without isolinux... However I've got a small problem. In fact the problem is maybe due to my BIOS (Phoenix on an HP Vectra VL800), and maybe due to isolinux / memdisk, I don't know. Generally speaking, take any floppy, format it under Win2K, copy from your hard

Hi list, I've used sys & pxelinux now many times, it's really a useful toy. I found esp. syslinux very helpful as it allows to COMPLETELY boot from multiple disks. However, I could never use a 'vanilla' syslinux for that. I'm doomed to use Distributor patched versions, which I don't really like. Why is that? Read on: Well, I can't manage to boot of a 1.44 MB

All: I have recently discovered pxeLinux/memdisk and have been using them without alot of pain in a somewhat unconventional setup.. Win2k DHCP server and tftpd32 on WinXP. Don't throw rocks at me - you use what you've got. Anyways, thanks to HPA for a great tool. I am running into an odd little problem now for which I was wondering if there might be some remedy.
