Just a slight poke regarding the MEMDISK and MDISKCHK.COM possibilities available here[1]. Review by non-hpas is welcome, too. Thanks! - Shao [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ mdiskchk_enh2

Improving chain.c32 help message Impact: Error message is more detailed In case of syntax error, the message is far more detailed and provides the same content as the documentation integrated in the source code.

Thus the rub: The exe seems to have disappeared from winbin as well.

Greetings, all... Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've set up a Linux PXE host with a menu choice to install Windows.

However, I would like to pass the iso name and directory into WinPE from the menu via append= arguments. Thus, I can set up a separate menu option

Good day to all, Gert Hulselmans requested a feature for MDISKCHK.COM that would function roughly like GETARGS.COM[1] by Murali Krishnan Ganapathy: DOS SET command output for MEMDISK kernel arguments passed by previous boot-loaders. He also needed to support the case for MEMDISK-in-a-MEMDISK type situations, where all MEMDISK kernel arguments could be gathered together and output as a list

and there it was. Thanks, all, that did the trick! jml > From: sha0.miller at gmail.com > To: jml9904 at hotmail.com > CC: syslinux at zytor.com > Subject: RE: [syslinux] mdiskchk and WinPE > Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2014 00:14:27 -0400 > > Please try clicking the "raw" link to the right of the .exe found here: > >

Hello all. Here[1] is a branch where chain.c32 can chain-boot a partition on a GPT disk when given the partition index. boot: chain hd1 84 (For example.) - Shao Miller [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ chain_gpt

Hi. I'm working on replacing a PXELINUX/MEMDISK loaded DOS based installation image with a PXELINUX/MEMDISK loaded WinPE ISO image. So far everything seems to work well (appending "bigraw" to memdisk solved booting problems on several machines), but I kind of miss the option of using getargs.com to get/set environment variables from the memdisk command line. Is there any way to

I will really hate myself if this has already been solved, i searched the archives but didn't really find anything pertaining to it. I have a 2.88mb dos boot floppy image, with ghost.exe, dos nic drivers, and dos system files. It works fine when burnt to a cd. As for the thumbdrive when trying to configure this hpghost.ima file to run from my syslinux.cfg menu, it works and boots up fine but

I just pushed out Syslinux 3.86-pre2. Absolutely last call for Syslinux 3.86. -hpa

I have set up a RHEL 5.7 PXE server and trying to get a WinPE ISO to work. Currently PXE seems to handle the image properly but the process stops after Loading boot sector... booting...

The following comment in win/syslinux.c seems fairly innocent: /* Map the file (is there a better way to do this?) */ So I?ve got an ?ntfssect? git repository going: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/ntfssect.git;a=summary Hopefully Paulo can plug its functions into his NTFS working repository. It appears that we?ll have to take one path (in the Windows installer) for FAT and one path

Dear Syslinux bootloader list, I'm running into a few issues concerning Syslinux modules here, hoping you can answer one or more of the following questions: * Where's "ifmemdsk.c32" ? 4.05, 4.06pre1 and latest 4.10pre seem to lack it. Only the "ifmemdsk.c" file, which is likely sourcecode. Not seeing any "ifmemdsk.cbt" legacy comboot module. * Do COM32

A kind request for help please. MEMDISK is causing an issue with the Dell OptiPlex GX280 and GX620 platforms. Booting a PC-DOS/Ghost, disk image is successful (and proper) when using version 3.83. See results below: MEMDISK 3.83: Ramdisk at 0x07eeaa00, length 0x007bc000 command line: initrd=images/ghostclient/280_620/osbootc.img BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end

Good day to you, too. No worries about the delay. I understand how busy everyone is with SYSLINUX. Gladly, the project continues to develop and improve. With that said, thanks for today's flurry of activity regarding my reported problem. Impressively, the debug version of MEMDISK that you had directed me to use appears to have done the trick. Results below. command line:

Hello, I'm trying to use a current Syslinux setup, that is working well for service linux based distros, to serve up recent Windows server installs. As I'm new here I'm reluctant to make any changes to the environment unless I've exhausted the current options. We are running Syslinux 3.71 on a Gentoo server and all the DHCP and tftpd are "working as they should". What
