I experimented with floppy sizes. Eg. I used FDFORMAT v1.8 to format a Disk fdformat a: t82 s21 D10 (I even have a modified version of FDFORMAT that creates only 1 FAT to save space, but I'm not using that.) All the information is written nicely to the Boot-Record http://home.freeuk.com/foxy2k/disk/disk3.htm But SYSLINUX seems to ignore the information. While DOS boots fine from these

Hello, when testing FreeBSD-7.1-BETA i discovered that the floppy disk controller doesn't work correctly. Trying to format a floppy (perhaps with bad blocks) i get: Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Device not configured instead of the normal E letter. I then checked the same problem is present on FreeBSD-6.3 and it has been reported by Beech Rintoul (*) in 2006! Of course the floppy disk

Hello, I've got a boot image that is of size 1722, so to put it on floppy, I use dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0u1722 but if I try to run syslinux on this floppy afterward, I get: [root at yoda root]# syslinux /dev/fd0u1722 /dev/fd0u1722: Sector sizes other than 512 not supported Is there some way around this? Can we use syslinux on this type of floppy disk? Lilo works, but we would really

To install the package: yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-VV-testing xen-vixen Where VV is '44', '46', or '48', depending on which version you're using. (It's the same package for all versions.) This will install the xen-vixen "shim" binary, as well as the pvshim-converter script. See XSA-254 [1] for detailed information about who should use it, why, and

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

Hey Stephen or Ted, Since ext3 is incorporated in linux-2.4.15-pre3 do you think we should update the Documentation/Changes since so many people had troubles with e2fsprog-2.1.19 and ext3 ? I couldn't see any RPM's after 2.1.19 so I removed RPM from the Changes file. Albert --- linux/Documentation/Changes.orig Sun Nov 11 22:17:34 2001 +++ linux/Documentation/Changes Sun Nov 11 22:21:07

Hello, we have installed Redhat Linux 6.2 with kernel 2.2.14-12 later we changed to kernel version to 2.4.17. we have installed 'fsck' programs that is tune2fs,e2fsck.

I hope I've understand that all, somebody wants to create a floppy-image larger than 2.88MB an use it with memdisk? I have modified a tool from Bart Lagerweij (Big thanks!) and can create Floppy-Images with 5760kB and 8100kB, and boot them with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK (or also with a modified DISKEM1X.BIN), is this what you mean? These tools must run under windows, but booting no problem.

Hello All: I've recently had to provision some RHEL and CentOS VMWare instances. There was no network connectivity so I had to use a kickstart floppy and DVD iso rather than installing from our repository. To create the floppy I used the following: As root: dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=1k count=360 mkfs.vfat floppy.flp mount -o loop floppy.flp /mnt/floppy cp base_kickstart.ks

List, I have attempted to make my own megaraid driver disk for a Dell PowerEdge 2300. The procedure I'm using is detailed at the end of this message. In short, I followed samples that I collected after Googling around. The problem I face is that the CentOS 4 installer can't seem to mount the driver disk after I have created it. It gives no information other than, "Cannot

I have a computer that dual boots between Windows and CentOS. Each has it's own hard drive. I suddenly have a problem with Windows, and may need to reinstall. I need it for applications like After Effects, Premiere, and other things that I am currently in the middle of a project with. It seems the system has become usnstable, it's preventing me from continuing to work, and I

Hi, Can I use DTrace to determine memory status? 1.Total Physical Memory, Used Memory. 2.Total Swap Space and Used Swap Space. I did find few DTrace scripts but had too much in them and I am unable to chop off unwanted lines of code due to lack of knowledge. It will be very helpful if some one can share the piece of code that serves my purpose as mentioned above. Regards, Ramesh. Ramesh

This patch builds a floppy image with contains HDT, so users of GRUB or GRUB4DOS can use HDT too, without installing Syslinux. When you compile Syslinux, this floppy image isn't build automatically. To build it, runthe following from the extracted Syslinux source: $ cd ./com32/hdt $ make hdt.img As suggested by Pierre-Alexandre Meyer, all extra files required for building the floppy

Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.:
