Hi!

Hello

I'm having issues with booting FreeDOS 1.3 in live environment in my
Lenovo Ideapad S145 Laptop. After booting syslinux and isolinux, both
options, either install or boot into live environment, fail to load. It
loads memdisk and the fdlive image and hangs.

I've tested the live environment on a old celeron t3500 with an american
megatrends bios and it worked, just cant use fdapm, my old laptop has
heating issues that ACPI control would help to manage as DOS is always
using the CPU fully. Is it likely some kind of incompatibility from
lenovo legacy mode? I will contact Lenovo and wait for further
investigation, but decided to report this. A search on their forum shows
that other users had issues with freeDOS 1.3 but were able to use
MS-DOS, so this got me even more confused.

Regards
Eduardo Lucas

It doesn't even starts booting DOS, at least visually. It loads
memdisk, loads fdlive, and then prints memdisk authorship and
version message to the screen hanging afterwards and only
stopping by hard powering off the machine by its button.
I can't even cold reboot by ctrl alt del.

That sounds like an issue with MEMDISK memory management and I think
there are some boot loader ways to pass options to MEMDISK to switch
it to a more compatible mode, maybe somebody here remembers the right
trick and the details for that? I assume your MEMDISK is loaded via
GRUB, SYSLINUX, ISOLINUX or similar loaders which let you pass some
options to MEMDISK.

https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK#Memory_access_method

Default in newer versions is safeint (int 15) while alternatives
include raw and int. Check your loader config to see what you had.

Could also be useful to use stack=2048 if the default 512 is too small.

Regards, Eric

Hi!

Hello

I'm having issues with booting FreeDOS 1.3 in live environment in my
Lenovo Ideapad S145 Laptop. After booting syslinux and isolinux, both
options, either install or boot into live environment, fail to load. It
loads memdisk and the fdlive image and hangs.

I've tested the live environment on a old celeron t3500 with an american
megatrends bios and it worked, just cant use fdapm, my old laptop has
heating issues that ACPI control would help to manage as DOS is always
using the CPU fully. Is it likely some kind of incompatibility from
lenovo legacy mode? I will contact Lenovo and wait for further
investigation, but decided to report this. A search on their forum shows
that other users had issues with freeDOS 1.3 but were able to use
MS-DOS, so this got me even more confused.

It doesn't even starts booting DOS, at least visually. It loads
memdisk, loads fdlive, and then prints memdisk authorship and
version message to the screen hanging afterwards and only
stopping by hard powering off the machine by its button.
I can't even cold reboot by ctrl alt del.

That sounds like an issue with MEMDISK memory management and I think
there are some boot loader ways to pass options to MEMDISK to switch
it to a more compatible mode, maybe somebody here remembers the right
trick and the details for that? I assume your MEMDISK is loaded via
GRUB, SYSLINUX, ISOLINUX or similar loaders which let you pass some
options to MEMDISK.

https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK#Memory_access_method

Default in newer versions is safeint (int 15) while alternatives
include raw and int. Check your loader config to see what you had.

Could also be useful to use stack=2048 if the default 512 is too small.

Regards, Eric

I've tried changing buffer size and memory options. I've had no luck with them. No idea why. The default in the freedos 1.3 rc3 livecd was "raw". Do you have any thoughts? I ask others for help as well if possible. Thanks.

Regards
