Im trying to boot memtest86 via pxelinux, memdisk, I found this advice on http://forum.x86-secret.com/viewtopic.php?t=2906 folks are making the image match a floppy size by one of the following: dd if=memtest86+-1.xx.bin of=memtest.img bs=360k count=1 conv=sync or dd bs=360k count=1 conv=sync if=memtest86+-1.xx.bin|gzip > memtest.gz I did the former, it did suppress the warning/errors I saw

Hi Guys, I'm currently using pxelinux 4.03 and memdisk to boot a DOS based floppy we use this software for training purposes to run a basic hardware check. It does not seem to like systems which have more than 1GB of RAM, which is some of the machines our company are now starting to see. Is there a way I can ask memdisk or PXE linux to use only xxx MB of RAM, e.g. 256MB...?

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

I've been trying to use memdisk with grub2 to boot some iso images -( I've done this without any problem with pxe ) There is a memdisk.mod in /boot/grub/ and I've seen some material talking about this, but no example of a menu. After trying countless permutations - Right now I have : menuentry "Memtest-Plus 4.2" { echo `hello` insmod lvm

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is

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 ALL, I've got a diskless server working (under Gentoo), booting on it works. (a linux session start with no problem.) My Big problem, is to get Memdisk to boot with PXE. In fact memdisk is loaded, but it cannot find the img file. I've tried a lot of thing, but nothing works... tftp use : /diskless the config file for PXE in then in : /diskless/pxelinux.cfg/ the root for the

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items. Is there a limit to how many items can be on the simple menu? default pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE UWSP PXE Boot Menu # TIMEOUT 200 LABEL bartpe MENU LABEL Build 12 KERNEL /STARTROM.0 APPEND keeppxe LABEL 11dnet MENU LABEL Build 11DNET beta

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

Howdy to all, We've been using isolinux quite successfully for quite some time now, and I have come across a couple of laptops where isolinux balks at my config file.. Upon booting on this systems, the image background appears corrupted, and at the boot prompt, the following happens automatically. Unknown keyword in config file. Could not find kernel image: 1 boot: Any label input here

Hi community, since more than one week I try now to boot my client via PXE. More informations about my equipment: Client: Board ASUS K8V-X SE Amibios with BIOS Revision 1501 (newest) Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) Server: Tyan Tomcat K7M Board with Eisfair 1.6.1 (www.eisfair.org) With exactly the same hardware unattended boots where working for more than one year perfectly without any

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hello list, any try the new memtest86 v3.2 with isolinux 3.11 cd and pxeboot? How is the proper way to chainload memtest86 I was tried: label memtest kernel memtest.bin but, nothing happens just a weird hang (my older versions of memtest hangs too). Anyway chainloading in a floppy image with memdisk on CD or pxeboot was fine but if I use memory to emulate a floppy I was not using this memory

I'm trying to get the menu working with ISOLINUX. So far any time I use a memory test such as ram stress test or memtest86 it reboots or locks up.. If any one could point me in the right place to get some info on how to set up the menu It would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm using the "simple menu" that is included with the SYSLINUX package. I've used ISOLINUX for
