MHDD freeze at boot up

Hi,

Thank you for your work, UBCD is a useful tool to repair PC :-)

I would like to use MHDD 4.5 to use ATA terminal, but on UBCD 5.0RC1 it freezes during boot on my platform :
  • Motherboard : ASUS P4PE-X/SE ACPI BIOS Revision 1006
  • CPU : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
  • RAM : 512MiB
  • IDE controller : 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller
  • DVD : ASUS DVD-ROM DVD-E616P
  • HDD : Hitachi IC35L040AVER07-0 (41GB)
MHDD freezes just after lines

Code: Select all

old : int13....
new: int13...
loading boot sector... booting...
It is the same result with MHDD 4.5 and 4.6.
But :
  1. MHDD on the same CDROM (v 5.0RC1) works fine on others platforms
  2. MHDD 4.6 from UBCD 4.1.1 works fine on this platform
  3. MHDD 4.5 only (not on UBCD) works fine on this platform
Could you solve this ?
May I help you with other tests ?

Luc.

When you select MHDD in the SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX menu, press <TAB> and add "raw" to the command line.

Code: Select all

> .linux /boot/syslinux/memdisk initrd=/ubcd/images/mhdd46.img.gz raw

I tried raw parameter, it is the same result.

Try MEMDISK of Syslinux 3.85: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/boot/syslinux/

Copy MEMDISK of Syslinux 3.85 (/memdisk/memdisk) to your USB stick (/boot/syslinux/memdisk) or CD (==> extract the iso and replace /boot/syslinux/memdisk and recreate the iso with the ubcd2usb.cmd script).

Did it work without adding "raw"?

Yes,
Selecting menu entry without any change works now.

Here, an iso image made with ubcd2iso under Linux. I just changed VOLUME_ID to identify new syslinux.
