Hey list, I have an older 2005 Uniwill 259ia3 with a Phoenix bios. Flash booting is limited to keys 512 MB or less! Here's my setup recipe: used the HP utility v. 2.0.6 giving me this geometry ---------------- fdisk -l ----------- Disk /dev/sdb: 493 MB, 493879296 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start

I've recently purchased an SSD with the goal of having a portable MS-Windows installation, something which Windows 8's "Windows to Go" feature allows (install to, and boot/run from, USB flash device). Housing the SSD in an external Zalman VE300 case allows presenting ISO files as hardware CD/DVD/BD drive with inserted medium. Having the ISO files present, it's tempting

Hello Recently I've been happily experimenting with syslinux, replacing grub and my old bootmanager. All works beautifully, but I have one question - in case of .bss bootsectors - what exactly and under what circumstances is patched in ? With syslinux used as main bootmanager - bootsectors from xp64, xp32 and [pre-syslinux] msdos 7.1 (98se) work perfectly fine when chainloaded natively as

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem.

While playing with some less than usual configurations, I've got bitten few times by geometry settings in case of, usually, microsoft[ish] systems. First two examples, then the improvement idea. Example #1 My usb stick has zip-compatible geometry, which should work fine both in hdd and zip modes. It usually does, at least as far as syslinux and normal software is considered - excluding

Quick summary: Syslinux stops at "Boot failed". Which, from a quick look at the raw disk image, seems to indicate that the boot sector loads but it fails to load the .sys loader. The details: I've been trying to load Linux (or etherboot...or anything at all that is not NT embedded) into a set of Compaq Evo T20 48/64 for a while now. What I finally managed to do is using the

Does anyone have a collection of bootable .bs, .bss, .bin and .img files that I could use for testing the booting functionality on the elflink branch? A copy of the files and config file lines should be enough to produce a testcase. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center

I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

Hello, I'm trying to create and boot a Win98SE-DOS OS through Hard Disk emulation. My src files are from a Win98SE 1440K floppy image file, with a x86 boot sector (dl'd from the net - I have no floppy drive and a slow net link 3.2KB). I don't know what to put into the partition boot record of my image and how to load dos.bss properly (the docs explain for floppy images not for HD

Does SYSLINUX have any idea which DOS driveletter would be assigned to the disk it is booting from? At www.veder.com someone is trying to build a USB flash drive. However, FreeDOS does not seem to boot correctly from it (bootsector trouble maybe, or kernel itself is confusing drives), thus we're thinking of using Syslinux + Memdisk + bootimage, but somehow we want to be able to also access the

Mr Anvin, is there a specific loading address used with the Syslinux bootsector (to load ldlinux.sys)? like msdos 0x70, freedos 0x60 we're trying to have a SYS program that can create bootsector for other OS's than FreeDOS only. not much luck though :( this way I'm trying to avoid the use of syslinux.exe/com (need the diskspace that it would save by not including this program) I

Latest syslinux 2.00 stable version from freshmeat. Are the programs that will just copy boot sectors or create boot sectors for /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 etc.. that I can simply copy with a dd command?

Hello, We are experiencing a strange behaviour on an embedded system (i386 PC board). The structure of our disk is the following one : - A 2GB fat16 partition with DOS and syslinux - A 100GB Ext4 partition with Extlinux an several linux images to boot on ram - A swap partition The system boot on syslinux to choose among Dos and Linux boot using chain. When Linux is chosen, syslinux chains to

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
