[syslinux] [off topic] gpxelinux bartpe

[Jeff Sadowski]

I'm trying to boot bartpe from gpxelinux
I'm using gpxelinux and memdisk.

my pxelinux.cfg/default looks as follows

LABEL bartpe
kernel memdisk
initrd http://<path to iso>
append iso raw


Both of these I think I have working correctly. So my question I guess
is for people that may have done this?

Anyways I see the bartpe load screen then the xp load screen and then
it blue screens. Reading the memdisk homepage I suspect that windows
is tramping over memdisk. I read on the memdisk page that there are
two things to deal with this and I can't find one. the other looks
like it is already installed so I need to figure out what else might
be going wrong.

The two methods I see listed on memdisk page
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK
are WinVBlock and ramdisk

WinVBlock driver I could not find I have been looking on the forum
pointed too but I can't find any links

ramdisk is supposidly enabled in the bartpe modules so this seems not
to be working however i will double check for this tomorrow.


I tried the tftp method and that will not work since it would take
more than 4 hours to load the iso (only 140MB)
udp traffic sucks on my network.
