Hi, It is becoming a bad habit for big OEM vendors to sell computers & servers without floppy drives. Unfortunatly both Windows and Linux (RedHat) need a floppy drive to load storage drivers etc. during installation. This is what I was thinking: Use ISOLINUX and MEMDISK to load a floppy image of a driver disk into memory as a viritual floppy drive "A:"/"/dev/fda" And then

I search for long time to make works ghost floppy image "out of the box" with syslinux without success. The only solution i found is to modify the the file generated by ghost boot wizard. the ghost boot wizard generate a "file.sys" i made (with the help of irc helper) a script to modify this file : you have to put the file.sys without extension as parameter #!/bin/bash

Does someone know where I could get my hands on an ima that's larger than 2.88meg... I use winimage for all my ima's and stuff but i'm having trouble configuring a custom size. If anyone has a large ima I could utilize that would be great, preferably one fitting this memdisk supported size: 3,932,160 bytes (3840K) c=80 h=2 s=48 3.5" DSED (extended) If not instructions on making

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 have many hp laptops that boot msdos with memdisk + pxelinux perfectly. However, I recently have the need to usb boot msdos with syslinux. And memdisk. When the dos Image loads I get "loading bootsector..." and then it halts. Sometimes I can get "starting ms-dos" but freezes as well. I'm trying to boot clean msdos floppy image created with winimage.

Here is a P2V challenge I could use some advice with. I have a source Windows 2003 physical machine that was upgraded several years ago from Windows 2000. So its system is at C:\WINNT instead of C:\Windows. The target is a RHEV VM. Booting the source machine from the virt-p2v CD and trying virt-p2v-server fails apparently because the Windows directory is c:\WINNT. What about the

Hi, I made a disk image with CloneZilla from the original physical machine. That image was restored on an iSCSI volume. It isn't booting. I got BSOD. I tried IDE, SATA, SCSI disk type without any success. I tried to using virtio driver and if I use my image+W2k3 install CD+virtio VFD the Windows repair console see the disk and I can use the repair console with my image but the windows not

Hi all, Really enjoying KVM as I was a long time user of Xen. Both are cool, just enjoying the new thing. Wondering if any one could share some nuggets on how to get a Centos 5.1 VM guest to use virtio? Trying to use virtio over the ide. Thanks in advance, - aurf

Hello all, I've got Unz (FM Towns emulator) running under wine but its not capable of reading the original FM Towns CDROM images on my Mac. I have it working under Windows XP using Daemon Tools to mount the ISO but under OSX it does not work. I have the ISO mounted under finder and have pointed my wine configuration to the mount point. No luck. Has anyone successfully got this running under

Is it possible to have memdisk emulate multiple drives? Here's why I'm asking: I have a Dell server that I replaced the motherboard. I want to reset the service tag to the correct tag for the system, and the only way to do that is to run a Dell tool under DOS. I have downloaded the tool, but it is doubly-wrapped: a self-extracting ZIP file (which I unzipped under Linux) which contains a

Are there any updated instructions for installing Windows virtio drivers on a KVM Windows XP vm under CentOS6? The virtio .iso directory structure is slightly different from what is described in the RHEL6 virtualisation manual, and when I attempt to install e.g. the viostor driver, the device manager cannot find anything better than what is already installed. I tried each of the

Hello, I am managing 15 separate boot disks with various network disk images. These disk images are used for network installs of Windows OS's. Basically the network boot disk contains dos, the network drive in question and the connection information to the shared server for doing a ghost install. The problem is the 1.44 disk doesn't hold enough space to accomplish the job. What I

I am trying to run my own legal copy of Propellerhead (http://www.propellerheads.se/) Reason 2.5 through Wine on latest Ubuntu on Asus (http://www.asus.com/) netbook, which has no optical drive. When the application starts, it asks me to ?Please insert the CD?, which I thought I knew how to do because after all, I had to mount the one of the three ISOs to start the installation. I run this

I'd say switching the disk from IDE to virtio should be the very first step - and while you're at it, you might as well use virtio for the network interface too. --  Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
