Good day to you, too. No worries about the delay. I understand how busy everyone is with SYSLINUX. Gladly, the project continues to develop and improve. With that said, thanks for today's flurry of activity regarding my reported problem. Impressively, the debug version of MEMDISK that you had directed me to use appears to have done the trick. Results below. command line:

For anyone wanting to boot an .ISO with MEMDISK: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andytim/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=ref s/heads/memdisk-iso NOTE: Your protected-mode OS (Windows, Linux, *BSD) booted from such a MEMDISK will not magically find the MEMDISK image in RAM and use it as a CD without a MEMDISK driver. There are currently 0 MEMDISK drivers in the field, but that might change someday.

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

Just a slight poke regarding the MEMDISK and MDISKCHK.COM possibilities available here[1]. Review by non-hpas is welcome, too. Thanks! - Shao [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ mdiskchk_enh2

A kind request for help please. MEMDISK is causing an issue with the Dell OptiPlex GX280 and GX620 platforms. Booting a PC-DOS/Ghost, disk image is successful (and proper) when using version 3.83. See results below: MEMDISK 3.83: Ramdisk at 0x07eeaa00, length 0x007bc000 command line: initrd=images/ghostclient/280_620/osbootc.img BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end

Here's some reminders for various branches that are pending. All branches are at my public repo at git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git ( http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/genec/syslinux.git;a=summary ) HPA, I'd appreciate a response in the direction of a status like on hold, under review, denied or to be completed soon.

Thus the rub: The exe seems to have disappeared from winbin as well. It's there, but downloads as a zero-byte file. > Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 22:40:21 +0200 > From: herbszt at gmx.de > To: sha0.miller at gmail.com > CC: syslinux at zytor.com; jml9904 at hotmail.com > Subject: Re: [syslinux] mdiskchk and WinPE > > Shao Miller wrote: > > On 7/6/2014 01:55, Ady wrote:

Good day to all, For anyone who feels adventurous, there is an experimental memdisk.c32 COMBOOT32 module[1] now outside of the official Syslinux development efforts, which appears to be functional for a few test cases, but should be considered UNSTABLE. It is a work-in-progress, so please do not report bugs for it at this time. It's for use with Syslinux 3.85, specifically. It was too

git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git Branch memdiskdbg-for-sha0 This starts with adding another check in two of the disk probes (by Shao; Thank you), expands the debug output, adds an additional check in the third probe and expands/reorders the debug output. At this time, it appears to resolve the MEMDISK issues that Jason Vasquez first noticed. The additional check in the third probe

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 ... XMGR,

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

Two additions to MEMDISK to support OS drivers. The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines") is a means for an OS driver to follow a chain of INT 13h hooks, examining the hooks'' vendors and assuming responsibility for hook functionality along the way. For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the physical address for the

We have several agents on queues, and want to indicate to them that they are logged in or logged out. We have tried several different ways, from changing the screen to presenting different service menus, but cannot get anything to be "in their face" (their words, not mine). One of our team has suggested, as the agents do not have voicemail, is to use the MWI on the 7940 phones to
