This isn't strictly speaking a SYSLINUX release, it's a change to MEMDISK and mkdiskimage to allow the creation of hard disk images with DOSEMU headers. This should make it easier to create bootable DOS hard disk images under DOSEMU. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
Thanks, I am getting closer. Using this release I created a 12MB hdimage using: ./mkdiskimage -fo /tmp/hdimage 96 16 16 I used the offset output for mtools--works as expected. I then used dosemu to sys the disk. Also worked. Using pxelinux.0 and memdisk from this release I boot the image and get: Booting... FreeDOS FAT (hang) Any ideas?> -----Original Message----- > From: syslinux-admin at zytor.com > [mailto:syslinux-admin at zytor.com] On Behalf Of H.

Basically I get Booting... Starting... and hangs. This is MSDOS. However, if I use PCDOS, I have no problems at all. My guess (may be a wild one) is that it has do with the interrupts which are interrupted by ISOLinux, or something like that. - Murali ################################################################ # Ry 254, Ryerson Hall, # Ph : +1 773 702-1031 (Off) # # 1100 E 58th Street # +1 773 575-4836 (Cell) # # Chicago, IL - 60637, # URL : http://www.g-murali.com # # USA. # email: gmkrishn at cs.uchicago.edu # ################################################################
