HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hi, This is off topic for this list, but someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. For a couple of years I have been using ISOLINUX + MEMDISK and Smart Boot Manager to chainload a CD-ROM boot after loading a floppy image into RAM with MEMDISK. My problem now is that Smart Boot Manager does not support/detect SATA optical drives used in new hardware. Does anyonw

Hi. I am trying to build a bootable linux CD using isolinux and a cloop image. I am a bit lost right now. What I have done is built a custom distro on a seperate partition on my hard drive. I can boot to it with Grub no problem. I've added the ioslinux directory with isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, a kernel (with initrd, loopback, iso support), and an initrd file. My next mission is to some

Hi, I would like to chainload syslinux 3.86 after booting from pxelinux of syslinux 6.04 is it possible? I was checking chain.c32, but i was not very successful so far. on my tftproot? dir i has this: pxelinux.0 boot/isolinux/ pxelinux.cfg/ isolinux_3.86/pxelinux.0 isolinux_3.86/boot/isolinux/ isolinux_3.86/pxelinux.cfg/ Does anyone know how i can, after booting from the tftproot pxelinux.0

Hello, I don't know if it's ISOLINUX or a broken BIOS, this is the first time ever seeing this error. "Extremely broken BIOS" on a EPIA -M10 BIOS Rev 2.07 (latest ver available) EDEN VIA mini-ITX mobo. ISOLINUX on RH8 ver 1.75, RH9 ver 2.00 and Yarrow ver 2.06 all produce the same type of error. RH 7.3 and Lindows boot and build without any problem but I don't think they

Hi, I'm trying to boot Debian-Installer image from extlinux with chain.c32; i.e.: - I'm doing this from a loopback device (loop0) which later will be dumped to an USB stick. - GPT disklabel. - Partition 15 (loop0p15) contains extlinux info, and partition 12 contains Debian multi-arch installer image *dumped*[1], and its corresponding menu entry for extlinux is something like: LABEL

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

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

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

I was given a custom CentOS 5.4 DVD, containing some Digium software for one of our customers. I need to turn this burned DVD into an image that can be written to a USB thumb drive. First, I ripped the DVD to an ISO image. That part works OK, my testing VM can load and run the custom kickstart script on the image. After totally frying my unetbootin install, I decided to try and use isohybrid

chain.c32 of SYSLINUX 3.82 does set the boot drive passed to the DL register to 0x80 and not to the boot drive (CD-drive). This can be a problem if you want to chainload grldr (grub4dos bootloader) from a CD and if you want to let grldr search for its menu.lst file on the CD.

Hi Peter, You did a great job on the isolinux and memdisk tools.. I can know, I've also written a CD-Rom disk emulator, only it's slow (read from the CD) uses 22KB conventional memory (mainly cache) and the emulated floppy image cannot be written to. http://www.nu2.nu/diskemu/ You're memdisk is fast, small conventional memory footprint and the emulated drive is writeable, very,

Is there a practical reason that the NTLDR clause of the CHAIN module isn't operable under ISOLINUX ? The reason for my question is that I like the SYSLINUX suite over the alternatives, that is GRUB and BCDW, however these pkgs all can chainload (just about anything) from an ISO. That is, they can handle .BSS files and the various NT/XP boot files, like SETUPLDR.BIN, etc. I make/update

This bootloader is really nice, I'm getting closer to my goal ;) My CD currently boots the linux kernel with root fs somewhere on dev/hda, or you can select an initrd-based rescue/recovery partition on the CD. I would be more comfortable if I also could "chainload" or in any other way have "boot of hda MBR" as another option. Is this possible? How is it set up in

i am trying to use chain.c32 with isolinux to load WinPE/BartPE/etc and I can not get it to work. I have tried with the simple.c32, and just from the isolinux prompt. I have tried 3.32-pre6, 3.20, and jumped back and tried 3.08. All configurations fail with 'Cannot read Master Boot Record'. The boot sectors are known to be good, and are known to work with chain.c32 with pxelinux.

Hello, I wish to recompile only isolinux.bin and nothing else. I made some changes to core/fs/lib/loadconfig.c and now I wish to make (compile) isolinux.bin only. The only way how to do it seems to be "make" in the directory of syslinux sources. But this takes very long and compiles everything. Is there a better way to make only isolinux.bin? Something like "make isolinux"

I am trying to PXE boot an ISO image using ISOLINUX. I am starting small just trying to get anything working but seem to be having problems. I followed the instructions on the isolinux page (http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php) but still cannot get it to work. I can get the ISO image to try to load but then it stops at the booting message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is

Hi, all I am confused, I run the ?make? command in the directory which is the sources of syslinux, and storage the output to a file, but i cannot find to how do the isolinux.bin to be produced. Also, I find that the isolinux.bin file is in the sources of syslinux(bios/core). So, I am curious how do the isolinux.bin to be produced, and where can I get the sources of isolinux.bin? Could
