similar to: MEMDISK El Torito Emulation

This isn't an esp urgent issue, but I'd like to use a certain RAM diagnostic (Doc Mem) which I've already posted a note about a couple of months ago. Simply won't work booting the floppy disk image via MEMDISK. In the interim, I've tried to resolve this by changing things on my side. I'm pretty sure it's a XMS incompatibility, as it fails differently depending on

hello i hope this is on topic here... i really need help and i'm guessing one of you will know the answer. i am trying to write software (open source) to work with cd images. the only thing i'm having trouble with is no-emulation 'el torito' boot records. i can't find any place where it sais how big the boot image is. bytes 8-0B of the initial/default entry say where to

I have updated syslinux in Parted Magic's test version to the 5.10 release. With 4.06 I booted plop like this: LINUX /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin Now it says /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin... ok Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument Other "extras" like IPXE, HDT, memtest86+, chntpw, Super Grub Disk, etc... all work with 5.10. Revert to 4.06 and plop works again. Is this a problem with syslinux

Hi folks, I'm new to the list so forgive me if this topic has already been explained in great detail. I'm trying to understand how an image gets booted from an EL-TORITO compabatible CD-ROM, so I have some general questions: 1) Is there a limit of how big the boot image can be? In the Initial/Default entry I see a "Sector Count" which is only a word long in length. Does

Hi, My problem is not uncommun, I have an old machine I'd like to use as a linux internet FW. The Bios is old and does not let me boot from an el torito bootable CD( 1998 PC) The CD's OK on other machines, boots fine Is there any way to get . isolinux on floppy, . when PC read floppy, isolinux tell it to boot from the /dev/hdc device, all bootfiles are in /isolinux on the CD

For the boot floppy at http://superkeen.com/peacecorpsfiles/FUZOMA14.IMG using memdisk from syslinux version 3.72 boots correctly, but for memdisk versions newer than 3.72 (I tested 3.73, 3.75, 3.85, and 3.86) all hang at boot with the following message: Loading boot sector... booting FreeDOS kernel - SVN (build 2039 OEM:0xfd [compiled Oct 2 2009]) Kernel compatibility 6.22 - BORLANDC ...

hello a while ago i posted a question about my troubles remastering isolinux bootable cds. after that Steffen Winterfeldt helped me out a lot and now my problems are gone. i wrote a document about my experiences and i thought i'd share it with you: http://littlesvr.ca/isomaster/eltoritosuppl.php and since i'm in pimping mode, my interest in isolinux is purely because of iso master (

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the

Hi Shao Miller, I found another ISO that doesn't work with MEMDISK-ISO. It is the ISO of the PloP bootmanager. It is a ISO which uses floppy emulation. When I boot it with MEMDISK-ISO (run from Syslinux), my PC instantly reboots. When I extract the floppy image from the ISO and boot this file with MEMDISK, it works fine. Grub4dos iso emulation works fine for this iso. When using Grub4dos

Hi I would like to start a iso from my USB-Pendrive so I got a Hiren BootCD amd PartedMagic iso + GRUB 2 (1.98~20100115-1) on my USB-Pendrive.

I was trying out the INCLUDE command within menu.c32 (via pxelinux, actually gpxelinux) and noticed that it's broken. The symptom is that the text is included, as expected, but the subsequent text from the including file is wrong. In some cases it actually pulls from above the INCLUDE leading to the INCLUDE being reprocessed (an infinite recursion). (The recursion seems to stop after 20-30

New module which check if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook: mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes ' jz

Unless someone already has a snazzy isolinux image that lets you select multiple makes and models to update bios's that's willing to share. I was curious if someone could tell me how to go from my isolinux.cfg into sub menu categories so instead of having one great big menu with multiple makes models and bios revisions, I can drill down into menu's until i get to the bios revisions to

Hey all, I recently updated to syslinux 3.83, I am getting machines rebooting or locking after loading PC DOS. Most notably with Hitachi's Disk Fitness Test (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT) Version 4.16. At first it was a trickle, and now it seems I am having the issue with more hardware. I downgraded to syslinux 3.81, and everything is happy again. The Current

Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

Looks like I can't install syslinux's bootloader on an ntfs partition? What I'd like to do is remotely setup a bootloader to wipe the hard drive contents on old assets. I was kind of hoping, that I could install syslinux on a remote workstation, and then throw a dban image and the corresponding menu and syslinux.cfg files on the remote workstation and then reboot it and have the
