I had posted the problem described below about two weeks ago, and I would like to add some odd behaviour even on machines where the zip image is loaded correctly (without divide by zero). If I call DOS fdisk, when booted from the image, fdisks asks if it should enable the large disk support and the returns immediately to the command prompt. regards -- Bernhard Treutwein Bernhard.Treutwein(at)verwaltung uni-muenchen de (work) BdT(at)wildwein de (home) ------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Treutwein Bernhard Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 9:19 AM To: 'syslinux at zytor.com' Subject: Isolinux - Memdisk problems - divide by zero after booting I'm trying to switch from a standard floppy emulation rescue disk (PQ-Magic & Ghost) to a no emulation large floppy using isolinux & memdisk. I finally got the CD booting on two systems (see below) but on a third system I get a divide by zero message and/or other error from DOS, which is starting to boot correctly. It appears to happen during loading the drivers in config.sys. It is an AS-Rock K7VT2 motherboard with originally a slightly outdated AMI BIOS (09/24/2002) 62-P100-001368-00101111-04201-VIA_K7-K7VT2100 but the same thing happens with the current BIOS 62-P130-001368-00101111-04201-VIA_K7-K7VT2130 BTW, this system boots nicely from the 100MB IDE-Zip (which is repartitioned to 10MB), from which I prepared the gzipped image. The zip is jumpered to floppy mode, i.e. it ignores the partition table, although present. On other systems this does not occur, it works correctly on a DK440LX with Phoenix BIOS and and FSC MT8 MB (the latter is a Phoenix Vs. 4.06 Rev. 1.16.1107). What can I do to trace down the problem? Is there a more verbose memdisk kernel? regards & thanks in advance for any help -- Bernhard Treutwein, IuK, Ref. III A 3 Bernhard.Treutwein(at)verwaltung uni-muenchen de

[syslinux] Comboot menu crashes when it goes off screen
This menu system is great Murali and Peter, Thanks! I have some problems though. It crashes when I have a menu full of entries that are longer than the screen, is there a way to make the menu scroll when there are alot of entries. Actually it crashes anytime a menu goes off screen, like with 5 submenus it falls off the right of the screen and crashes. In that case is there a way to make it bounce back the other way when it hits the edge of the screen. Thanks for any help, Aaron
