Hi,
Can you try the "raw" and "bigraw" options for MEMDISK?
kernel memdisk
append raw initrd=dell5061.img
and
kernel memdisk
append bigraw initrd=dell5061.img
I do not have the details on the DRMK project. But I belive the problem might be that it at some point stop using BIOS interupts (int 13h and int 15h)to access drives. If that is the case I belive DRMK must have a MEMDISK driver for this to work.
I am thinking of adding the same diagnostic tool to a project of mine, and have planned to use MEMDISK as well. So please post any solution you find to this list.

Subject: [syslinux] booting dell diagnostic hd image with isolinux
Dell has an ISO image (Dell version 5061A0, A5061) available here
http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R102625&fileid=132637
which contains an ISO with an hard disk image and no-emulation boot.
I've estracted the hard disk image (size=2048000) and I'd like to boot it with isolinux.
I tried
kernel memdisk
append initrd=dell5061.img
The Dell/Dos os starts to boot and prints
=========== Diagnostics ==============
Loading PBR for descriptor 1...done
Loading DRMK version 8.00 ...
Can't load kernel file
<hangs>
Since the Dell disks partially boots the memdisk messages are cleared and I cannot paste them here.
Anyone have succesfully booted the Dell diag image?
Thanks
