In other words: I'm suggesting to use WinImage as it also allows easy injection of new files *and* updating of already existing files. May I ask which vendor is distributing a DOS FW update that is 20MB? I'd like to see the files. Sometimes you just need the .bin/.rom and the actual FW update EXE and it would fit a 5MB FDD image.

If I remember correct HDT is a .C32 executable and not .EFI, so no it will not work.

Hello, i am trying to use hdt with an UEFI install. It does not start and freeze. Does someone know if it is supposed to work ? Btw i have enough machines here to do real QA :)

As suggested, I have made a 6.04-pre3 release. In addition to updating gnu-efi to the latest version available (3.0.9 + a few patches) I wanted to make the tree compile with -Werror on my box, which resulted in pulling a thread which in turn caused a whole bunch of things to unravel :) The end result was that I ended up refactoring much of the tree so that it now avoids building a ton of

Hi all, It has been the case for quite a while that the master tree is unambiguously better than 6.03. I have thus tagged and pushed out a syslinux-6.04-pre2 release, however, due to the issues with continuing to keep the main archive on kernel.org, I have moved the release archive to: https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/ Other than the URL, there is no difference from the kernel.org archive.

Haven't yet had a need for 10MB FDD images. The biggest I had to create was 5MB (5760kb). At that time I had to use WinImage to create the FDD image and it took me a while to figure out the correct settings. My notes state: "I'm getting 'missing FAT' errors in WinImage, and 7-zip complains about 'unexpected end'. The fix is to increasing the FDD Heads from 2 to 4 and

The narod.ru images are super outdated (FreeDOS kernel 2028) unfortunately. If you are interested I could provide a 5MB FDD image template based on FreeDOS 2041 kernel (the latest available at that time in 2014) where you would just inject your ROM and EXE (and possibly adjust autoexec.bat to autostart/apply the FW update). It's a minimal FreeDOS FDD image that defaults to a clean boot with

Hi. I prefer using the syslinux boot loader and recently undertook a project of creating a multiboot USB drive that boots using syslinux. The aim is to create a medium from which various live linux environments can be run for things like system maintenance, installation, and perhaps demonstration. I anticipate using this multiboot USB drive on mostly legacy, BIOS systems, if that matters. As

You mind to elaborate? I'd like to re-use HDT as well, but I was forced to abandon it years ago due to lack of UEFI support and lack of development. Heck even the website hdt-project is now owned by a domain-grabber (The Syslinux wiki is still linking to it when I check 3 weeks ago... might want to remove that link).

Thanks. Any chance to update the changelog as well. The NEWS file in the archive over at https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ only lists changes for 6.03 On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 5:08 PM H.

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

Has anyone had a problem with afud408 (Award flash program) freezing the system when ran from memdisk? The freeze occurs when just running afud408 (not attempting to update bios, although it freezes then as well.) I was using pxelinux/memdisk 3.36, I upgrade to 3.51, and also fell back to 2.11 all have the same issue. I have tried all the switches for memdisk that I saw posted on the memdisk

Hello, I am a *nix newbie I am trying to boot a DOS boot disk using PXE (to Ghost on windows images). We have an existing PXE server which successfully serves out PXElinux and Fedora builds based on that but my floppy disk image with memdisk isn't working I have tried a few different floppy images which people have posted as ones that work for them but I doubt the disk is the problem

Syslinux on EFI won't load arbitrary .efi files but there are 3 different flavors of COM32 files, one per firmware. > On Tue, Apr 10, 2018 at 10:02 AM, Gene Cumm via Syslinux > <syslinux at zytor.com>

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

I have periodically been trying to get memdisk to boot images larger than your average 1.44Mb floppy and have always been unsuccessful. I cannot boot anything greater than 1.44Mb. The systems I'm attempting to do this with are not too old but they are not recent either. One is a Asus P5A and the other is a Intel SE440BX both with the most recent bios firmware patches available applied. If

Hi: Thank you very much for creating this very useful program. I downloaded the DOS version because there was a suggestion in th isolinux website. I was not able to detect the cd-rom on my pentium II computer with Award BIOS 4.51 v 1.10. I tried to set the IDE i/o address but I am not sure where to get the i/o address information. I used the i/o address in the Win98 device manager IDE

Hello, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where
