The following boot entries: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr # or: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0,1 ntldr=/bootmgr # might result in the following error: # Insane primary (MBR) partition. Can't find myself on the drive I booted from. # when using chain.c32 v4.07. I have seen similar error reports when using chain.c32 v4.06 too. It works correctly with chain.c32 v4.05, even when

I just tested 6.02-pre10 version. ? On physsical machine it is booting ok now,?but chain.c32 result is the same errors :? ERR: Primary partition (in MBR) with invalid offset and/or length. ? ERR: Cant't find myself on the drive I booted from Adding 'relax' option to chain.c32 invocation resolves the problem. ? In qemu the boot and chaining works ok (without 'relax' option).

Yes. Prior versions (all to 6.01 inclusive) are working very well. ?And yes it fail before invoking chain.c32 (as I said in qemu there is no errors). ________________________________ From: Matt Fleming <matt at console-pimps.org> To: Adrian Irimia <adixtx at yahoo.com> Cc: "syslinux at zytor.com" <syslinux at zytor.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 5:16 PM

Hi, ? ? I have a bootable usb with syslinux 5.10 on wich the following?code is working ok. ??? LABEL - ?? MENU LABEL GRUB LEGACY ?? MENU INDENT 1 ???? COM32 chain.c32 ???? APPEND boot fs grub=/boot/grub-legacy/stage2 grubcfg=/boot/grub-legacy/grub-legacy.cfg nohand nosect ? ?After upgrading to syslinux 6.01 (using bios) I receive the following errors when selecting that menu option : ? ?

I'd like to use chain.c32 to allow the computer boot from HARDDISK if needed. If I use isolinux and boot from CD, the following works OK: chain.c32 hd0 But if I boot from USB Flash Key, it sometimes work and sometimes it doesn't and I have to use chain.c32 hd1 (it seems BIOS assigns hd0 to the flash key sometimes, so the real harddisk is hd1 in that case). Is there any way to tell

The Windows recovery console doesn't work with chain.c32 3.85 or 3.86-pre1. COM32 chain.c32 APPEND cmldr=/cmldr Initially reported by cdob at: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10487#entry94001 It did work fine with the: "chain.c32: Handle nonlinear logical partitions" patch. The following patch broke the recovery console hack: chain.c32: add option to set hidden

Looking at the UEFI specs, and _if_ I understand Erwan's patch correctly, we are talking about searching for a "Partition Name". Avoiding the "label" term for this new option should help in reducing some potential confusions (e.g. BSD's "disklabel", fdisk's "partition label (type)", filesystem's "volume label"...). So, IMO,

That is perfectly true. I had a beautiful bug in the code .... Switching from python to C have some weird side-effect. Indenting is not enough, brackets are required.... So I pushed https://github.com/ErwanAliasr1/syslinux/commit/5a122d218553a6d4019273653ba9fad66d6ae79e with the fix. I tested it on my multi-disk system with success. I also changed the name of the function. 2016-07-17 8:21
