hello,
I have a problem like the ones reported by bugs :
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=4069
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=836
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=795
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=793
When i'm trying to boot dos-image (a 1.4 floppy) using memdisk (from
P.Anvin) through ethernet, grub boot correctly. I get the dos prompt.
But if i try to boot a big (122Mo)windows image , it hangs just after
downloading the file. The machine has plenty of ram (more than 384Mo).
I have tried with 0.94 version and the latest CVS 0.97
./configure --enable-diskless --enable-3c90x --enable-eepro100
--enable-lance --enable-3c595
%menu.lst
# 12.
title Windows
debug
root (nd)
kernel (nd)/win/memdisk
initrd /win/win.img
boot
the "boot" never appears
in debug mode , the little indicator (-) spins when downloading the file
, then rotate very very slowly, then stop . I have to reboot.
With pxelinux and the same memdisk and windows image , it works nicely
default config :
DEFAULT net
PROMPT 0
LABEL local
LOCALBOOT 0
LABEL net
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=win.img
any hint ?
Thank you in advance.
FC
