dear all, i will outline the problem im having before posting my smb.conf, just in case someone knows what to trouble-check. i have a samba PDC set-up, no firewalls, the windows machine WILL mount the shares fine, but it wont join the domain. I mean that I have entered the machine name as a trust account into both passwd and smbpasswd, and when I join the domain in win2k, it actually asks me

I found that if I do not have a local floppy installed and enabled on my client, I will get the error 'Non-system disk' when I try to boot DOS floppy images. NT or Syslinux floppy images boot fine. If I enable the floppy in the BIOS, then it boots the DOS floppies just fine. Is this normal? Is there a workaround? There are MS-DOS images, so perhaps this is an MS-DOS limitation. --

syslinux 3.11 (from debian's 3.11-3 package) does it job. The machine boots as expected with an 1.44 floppy. Yet the floppy driver's led doesn't turn off. 1) Is this a syslinux issue? 2) Can I safely remove the boot floppy (media) without dameging it? From memory: $ cat syslinux.cfg say linux 2.6.14 (probably with debian modifications) default linux append root=/dev/nfs

Hello All: I've recently had to provision some RHEL and CentOS VMWare instances. There was no network connectivity so I had to use a kickstart floppy and DVD iso rather than installing from our repository. To create the floppy I used the following: As root: dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=1k count=360 mkfs.vfat floppy.flp mount -o loop floppy.flp /mnt/floppy cp base_kickstart.ks

Can anybody please tell me how to access the floppy disk drive from wine-installed programs? I've installed some basic accounting software which backs-up to floppy (don't laugh!), but when I try to do this I get the message "no removable drives..." even though I've mounted the floppy drive. The CDROM (fake d:) drive is listed in dosdevices, but floppy (fake a: ?) doesn't

Hello! Below is an excerpt from the thread in October. I have the same problem, but my laptop (which is a Brand new HP Compaq NC6230) does not have options in the BIOS to enable or disable floppy support. It just doesn't have one. I assume it leaves it enabled for USB Floppy support, but does not come with the drive. My ISOLinux setup is a UBCD. I tried to make my own, but the lack of

I just wanted to chime in and mention that I'm running into the problem with getting a "Non-system disk..." error on a system using a USB floppy when the floppy is not attached when I try to boot the system over the network using memdisk to boot a floppy image. Its actually fairly important to be able to do this, as the architecture of the hardware that I'm working with utilizes

Hi guys, I have been fighting with Syslinux and PXElinux for two days now. I have gotten the floppy to boot but can't get pxelinux to work. I get a message: No !PXE or PXENV+ API fournd; we're dead I am guessing this means I need something else on the floppy? The floppy has: # ls /floppy/ total 24K -r-xr-xr-x 1 9.4K Nov 2 16:31 ldlinux.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 14K Nov 2 16:50

Thanks for your response, and how would you suggest that one would fix that? It hangs in the boot process! woody ==================== From: Christopher Clark <christopher.w.clark@gmail.com> [Add to Address Book] [View Source] To: "tarawa1943@comcast.net" <tarawa1943@comcast.net> Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] xen-unstable dom0 boot "Floppy

Hi, The link given in your http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#config page points to the http://www.argontechnology.ca/rbfg/index.shtml site. This site talks only of Win2k and .Net server. There is no mention of GNU/Linux. Is it possible to use rbfg.exe to create a pxelinux bootable stack on a floppy. If so how ? Rom-O-Matic has a pxe loadable ROM image. Is there a way to use this to

Using the Disk Management GUI. I mounted the floppy copied a file to it by dragging from one Nautilus window to another Then I tried to unmount the floppy and got an error that the device (/media/floppy) was busy. This is not the first time this has happened to me. And it does not happen all the time. In fact, yesterday I did the exact same steps with no problem.

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with the process of creating bootable floppy images to be used with isolinux/memdisk. I usually do the following: label image kernel memdisk append initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to

Is there a doc that describes how to create a floppy that will boot and then switch over to the installation CD? It looks to me like this should be possible using grub on the floppy. Charles L.

Hi there, http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/download/seatoold_en.exe Seagate offers a Windows executable (needs Win98 or better, 1,9MB) that should create 2 bootable floppy disks that contain a harddrive check program. Invoking "wine seatoold_en.exe" works, but when the floppy should be written, an error occurs "insert 1.44 MB...click retry". I tried to mount a DOS

Hello, I am using the pxelinux.0 and memdisk files from distribution syslinux-3.36. I am no longer able to access the real floppy disk drive B: instead I just get a mirrored copy of the emulated floppy disk A: The default config file is as follows label 1 kernel memdisk append initrd=kd202.img I was previously using the sysliunx-3.20 distribution which gave me access to the real floppy

After formatting a floppy to MSDOS format and using syslinux /dev/fd0, I successfully installed ldlinux.sys to the root directory of the floppy. Then I created a syslinux.cfg under the root directtory of this floppy to load the linux kernel in my first hard disk, 3rd partition, boot folder. The file system of this partition is ext3. The floppy has a FAT file system. This config file is listed

Hi, Is it possible add a floppy image to a paravirtualized domain? I have the following lines in the config file: <devices> <disk type=''file'' device=''disk''> <driver name=''tap'' type=''aio''/> <source file=''/var/lib/xen/images/proba1.img''/> <target

First I'd like to thank you, and everyone who has contributed to the isolinux development. It has been the solution to many of my development needs. Currently I am creating a Linux system that runs directly from CD. Currently the CD is working and I am using isolinux to boot the CD. The compressed kernel is approximately 2 meg and the compressed initial ramdisk is approximately 4 meg.
