After the guest is booted from CD-ROM i partition disk OK, and while system is trying to copy files needed for the installation, it cannot read some files from CD-ROM (starting with wow32.dll etc.).

Hello, I am currently using a Dell Poweredge SC 1435 at the moment and am trying to virtualize windows on xen however it seems windows does not really understand what its supposed to do.

Sorry for the delay, I should not send email on an holiday week-end. I'll try to answer all the questions by explaining what does work for me right now, and what I'd like to do. I have a script to create the a USB stick or an ISO image. The boot media contains many DOS images, and I use versamenu to select one of them. If my DOS image is smaller than 8megs, everything is working fine as

Hi, I did found the problem, a combination of 2 factor. 1- I taught that I did install the latest syslinux, but in fact it was the 3.36 version. 2- Thank to kevin Connelly, he point me to a problem he got with mkdosfs command. The default FAT16 do not work, but the FAT12 do. By adding -F12 to the mkdosfs command fix the problem. The default F16 do seem to work for <8M floppy image. Thank you

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

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line

I have a few floppy images that on some computers don't work properly when booted with memdisk (I get the "Non-system or disk error" message), but work fine when I load them with isolinux directly. Now I'm trying to move these images to an USB pendrive, and have a problem, since syslinux can't boot these images directly. Is there anything I could try to get these to boot?
