Hello everyone, I need your help ...

Here is my little project

"I try to integrate in GData easyboot"

1 ° I use "Create a boot CD G DATA" with the application GData

2 ° In the cd there established the "directories" following

d:---||
-- boot\grub --> contains files
boot.cad
gdata-boot.xpm.gz
linux26
menu.lst
message
minirt26.gz
stage2


-- dbase (The base anti-v)
-- GDATA (application)

(ultraedit) when your menu.lst

there inside.

#
# Sample boot menu configuration file
#

#gfxmenu /boot/grub/message

message (cd)/boot/grub/message

# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30

# By default, boot Windows
default 0

splashimage (cd)/boot/grub/gdata-boot.xpm.gz

foreground = ffffff
background = c11a11

######## MENU ########

# For booting Microsoft Windows

title Microsoft Windows
root (hd0)
chainloader +1


# For booting G DATA BootCD

title CD d'amor‡age G DATA
kernel (cd)/boot/grub/linux26 quiet ramdisk_size=100000 init=/linuxrc apm=power-off vga=791 nomce lang=fr_FR.UTF-8
initrd (cd)/boot/grub/minirt26.gz

title CD d'amor‡age G DATA - alternative
kernel (cd)/boot/grub/linux26 quiet ramdisk_size=100000 init=/linuxrc apm=power-off vga=791 video=vesa nomce lang=fr_FR.UTF-8
initrd (cd)/boot/grub/minirt26.gz

I read somewhere on the net that had the "bcdw" then enter the values that I am unable to do.

Thank you for your help

What you posted appear as grub/grub4dos commands.

I cannot see any "easyboot" commands (nor a reason to use easyboot at all wink.gif).

If you are using easyboot, you will need some sort of (floppy) image booting grub4dos.

As always, use grub/grub4dos in Command Line mode, entering each command on a line and pressing enter, this way you will be able to see what is the reply (and possibly find the error).

See here:

Just for the record, this:
QUOTE
title Microsoft Windows
root (hd0)
chainloader +1

means "boot the MBR of first hard disk" that can (or cannot) lead to booting Windows.

Each Linux distro may have/need different settings, an alternate guide with bcdw and isolinux:

I just enter in easyboot

bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/gdata-boot.xpm.gz

but I have no display menu gdata

can be

splashimage (cd)/boot/grub/gdata-boot.xpm.gz ???

thank you
FM_81
Not
CODE
bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/gdata-boot.xpm.gz
gdata-boot.xpm.gz ist the splash-image, but never (IN NON CASE) the initial ramdisk!

May be
CODE
bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/minirt26.gz
will work.

But also may be, all additional parameters are needed. (The following ist ONE line.)
CODE
bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/minirt26.gz quiet ramdisk_size=100000 init=/linuxrc apm=power-off vga=791 nomce lang=fr_FR.UTF-8


But I'm not very familiar with Easy-Boot and BCDW anymore, many years ago, I've used these two ...

thank you, I'll try and keep you informed


in easyboot I can not exceed

commande : bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/minirt26.gz quiet ramdisk_size=100000 init=/linuxrc apm=power-off ----> maximum



stoped arreter on -------> #gdata

It seems like kernel and INITRD are loaded correctly, but the SqashFS-containerfile is missing!
Typically this one is the biggest file on the original-CD (Sorry, I didn't know it's exact name or other details!); it should have THE SAME PATH AND FILENAME on the new CD, which you are creating ...

Also it is possible, that there exists a key-file for path-defining on the original-CD?

MfG, FM_81

there is a large file called GData, but how to load?

Thank you very much for your help




FM_81
Simply add it! (/GDATA/GDATA)
Same name, same path, keep also upper- or lowercase.
INIT-script will find it. (I hope!)
May be, must also add the complete folder dbase ...

commande : bcdw /boot/grub/isolinux /boot/grub/linux26 initrd=/boot/grub/minirt26.gz quiet ramdisk_size=100000 init=/linuxrc apm=power-off ----> Maximum characters

when I write / GData / GData in easyboot it automatically gives lowercase. sad.gif

Maximum text in command


is it possible to remove a few lines ? sad.gif

thank you

Sorry, I give up here; it looks like we are speaking different languages!
There is no reason to type "/GDATA/GDATA" in Easyboot, you should add these files to your build!

And if EASYBOOT has a limited command-line-length, you can try to ignore some boot-parameters like "nomce" or "apm=power-off" or "vga=791" or "quiet" or "lang=fr_FR.UTF-8" - but please let the others untouched.

Or use a better bootloader - like GRUB4DOS or ISOLINUX ...

I tried in several directory but fails ...
(excuse my English I am french)

I will try and isolinux and GRUB4DOS

thank you (merci beaucoup)
