Hi I'm using memdisk as part of CD Shell' isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ...

I and some other people have problems with running the freedos image included in Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD), when using memdisk for floppy emulation. Memdisk starts booting the image and freedos shows the following menu: 0 Boot Clean 1 Boot UMBPCI (silent) 2 Boot UMBPCI (optimal) 3 Boot UMBPCI (semi-defensive) 4 Boot EMM386 (optimal) 5 Boot EMM386 (semi-defensive) 6 Boot no UMB (defensive) 7 Boot

When last we saw our hero, er, sysadmin, he'd found that the "noarch" BIOS update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it. Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity (for small values of hilarity) ensued. First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem,

Hi everyone, Here is the problem: I have a server running Red Hat 5.2 and Samba-2.0.4 as file server for about 20 diskless machines with MSClient boot disks (created with NT server SP3). The server shares a dir with a Clipper/DBF database for those clients and the EXE file is in a NT machine. For weeks I've been trying to put the things together but the clients always break

Hi, I 'am trying to launch linux kernel 2.6.7 with initramfs. My pxelinux.cfg/default file looks as follows: default a1 prompt 1 timeout 600 label a1 kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 append initrd=initramfs_data.cpio.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc Kernel image vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 and initramfs_data.cpio.gz was loaded succesfully by pxelinux. Kernel says: checking if image is initramfs... it is but

Hi there, I have a client in a network using a samba-server that has to use MSDOS, because some software running on it needs a clean DOS. I installed the DOS-Client for TCPIP that is available from Microsoft V 1.0 and it works fine; the only thing is, that it takes so much memory below 640 K, that another program also running under DOS does not function correctly anymore. Maybe some of the

Hi.. Well i've tried each and every method to insert any winme command.com into any bootable image and its really giving me problems.... I even further tested the same image with reinserting the 98 command.com and the image worked just fine.. So acc to me the problem has to lie in me command.com as there is no real mode dos in ME.. Also try using umbpci.sys and lowdma.sys for managing

(FreeDOS developers, I apologize for the redundant parts of this message. But I want to bring the SYSLINUX folks into the discussion, and the SourceForge mailing list archives are broken.) Background: I have a little Sourceforge project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/) for which I use SYSLINUX to provide CD-ROM and PXE boot support for my boot disk. And it works great with MS-DOS. However,

Hi, I've got the same Problem. Not with WinMe but Win 98SE. But what I figured out is, that it doesn't realy apply to the Command.com rather to the Way the BootImage was created. It took me a long time to get my Hands on a Image with 2.8MB that's working. Since creating one my self, was allways failling. I downloaded the Bootutils 4.3 from 3com and used the Imageedit tools. With these

Hi. There's a rescue cd at ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/people/areq/RescueCD/ that uses isolinux that don't work in my configuration.

Hey folks - So what happened to the RescueCD ISO?... i'm not finding it under the ...centos/4.4/isos/ dir, as i believe it generally has been previously. At my office, we have a local mirror, and i've always just burned the RescueCD ISO and booted with that. At the prompt i supply "linux askmethod" and then later reference our local mirror to do an install or upgrade. The

It appears that the WinME/XP DOS boot disk links code into the INT 15h AH=87h "mover" function which crashes the system DELIBERATELY (it puts the system in a cli/hlt/jmp loop.) I first thought it was specific to MEMDISK, but it's not; calling this function under just about any circumstances from within this version of DOS seems to crash the system hard. It's possible

While I wait for the Xen 3.0 Test CD to download, has anyone has luck using an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard (NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP chipset)? The CPU is an AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ AM2 w/ 2GB DDR2 533. The motherboard mostly works under Gentoo using kernel 2.6.18 with the "noapic" kernel boot option in my grub.conf file. The only major issue with the Gentoo kernel

Just for the record, I want to let the list know that I succeeded in booting a modified Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy from http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ I started with a Win98 Bootfloppy from http://www.tobs.uku.co.uk. Then I made a disk image from this, using dd.exe from cygwin. Then I converted this disk image from 1.44MB to 2.88MB with winimage. Then I copied

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

My boot folder has only rescue vm. How to get actual vm?
