HI: i just trying memdisk that comes with syslinux 3.35. i try to load a dos image, which contains ghost verison 8.3 and ghost version 11. both version of ghost hangs when start-up. memdisk that comes with 3.40 pre is ok. and many earlier versions is ok too. i try some parameter like "safeint","raw". but none work. i use memdisk with pxelinux, below is part of my pxelinux.cfg: MENU LABEL ^1) Dos Command Line KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=os-image/dos.img c=40 h=40 s=40 floppy keeppxe thanks for your help!! Regards, tbskyd
Try ghost.exe -fni, this has solved some of my hang-up problems in the past, it's a parameter that has to do with the hard drive interface -----Original Message----- From: syslinux-bounces at zytor.com [mailto:syslinux-bounces at zytor.com] On Behalf Of d tbsky Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 2:49 AM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: [syslinux] memdisk 3.35 + ghost problem HI: i just trying memdisk that comes with syslinux 3.35. i try to load a dos image, which contains ghost verison 8.3 and ghost version 11. both version of ghost hangs when start-up. memdisk that comes with 3.40 pre is ok. and many earlier versions is ok too. i try some parameter like "safeint","raw". but none work. i use memdisk with pxelinux, below is part of my pxelinux.cfg: MENU LABEL ^1) Dos Command Line KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=os-image/dos.img c=40 h=40 s=40 floppy keeppxe thanks for your help!!

hi: memdisk from 3.40pre3, 3.40pre4, 3.35 are the same size. so i think they are the same version. they all fail. i remore "-dWITH_EDD" and rebuild 3.35. it works now :) thanks a lot for your help!! hope this can be fixed in the future version.

hi: i create a hardisk image to try. the situation is the same as floopy image. memdisk with "-dWITH_EDD" make ghost hang . and memdisk without "-dWITH_EDD" is fine. Regards, tbskyd 2007/1/31, H.
