I tested the memdisk-acpi branch with following results: - Bochs The BIOS provides a RSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT, FACS, APIC, SSDT. memdisk-acpi is able to hook the SSDT. - VMware The BIOS provides a RSDT and XSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*) and XSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*). Tables marked with an asterisk (*) are

When you add "quiet" to the append line, Syslinux doesn't display the file reading progress anymore. When you use this option to boot an image with MEMDISK, you still get a lot of text. ========================== LABEL mydisk LINUX memdisk INITRD mydisk.img APPEND raw quiet ========================== The following patch makes MEMDISK silent when the quiet keyword is passed to the

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

Sensei H. Peter Anvin, I have successfully modified/enhanced memdisk so that one can chainload a local operating system after running diskless FreeDOS. I would like your advice regarding the appropriate interface for invoking this functionality. In addition, I would like to know what steps to take so that you feel comfortable considering including this in the standard syslinux distribution.

Syslinux 3.84 has been released. This is a mixed minor new features/minor bug fixes release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of

Syslinux 3.86 is out; it is a bug fix release. Syslinux 4.00, starting with Syslinux 4.00-pre38, is now officially in beta test. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.86: * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken in 3.85). * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information structure. *

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

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

Okay, MediaWiki syntax docs follow. Note I have tested those only a bit, and not within the vesamenu context, but if mboot.c32 resets to

I'm running into an issue which I didn't expect to encounter. When specifying the "nopassany" parameter to hide physical drives, I'm getting different output from ELTORITO.SYS (v1.5, syslinux distro) such that it fails. My intent is a LiveCD functionality with a DOS RAMDISK program taking over as drive C:, meaning either no FAT partitions on harddisks and removable disks

But, considering your other very valid point, let me see if I can work something better here, that

Some additional fields from the EDD-4 spec. draft for the Device Parameter Table have been added into the structure in setup.c and memdisk.inc.
