Snake7 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Sorry my friend. I manage to do triple boot: Ubuntu 10.04, PartedMagic 5.4 and Kaspersky rescue disc 10Here is my working config:title Start Ubuntu 10.04 desktop LIVEmap --unmap=0:0xffmap --unhookroot (hd0,0)map /ubuntu/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) || map --mem /UBUNTU/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff)map --hookroot (0xff)kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/UBUNTU/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash --errorcheck offinitrd /casper/initrd.lzinitrd /casper/initrd.gzerrorcheck onmap --unmap=0:0xfftitle Start PartedMagic 5.4map --unmap=0:0xffmap --unhookroot (hd0,0)map /pmagic/pmagic-5.4.iso (0xff) || map --mem /pmagic/pmagic-5.4.iso (0xff)map --hookroot (0xff)configfile /grub4dos.lst || chainloader (0xff)map --unmap=0:0xfftitle Start Kaspersky Rescue disc 10root (hd0,0)chainloader (hd0,0)/syslin.datAs to kaspersky - it use syslinux. So I have created bootable disk using official tool and copied all files to folder on hdd.After creating USB flash with PartedMagic and syslinux options on copied files back to flash except ldlinux.sys (if overight this file system will not boot) Edited August 31, 2010 by Snake7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) You'd need to use the latest latest WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta6.Get PartedMagic:http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/project/partedmagic/partedmagic/Parted%20Magic%205.4/pmagic-5.4.iso.zipExtract the zip archive so you get pmagic-5.4.iso and add it with the program to the USB stick.Get Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS iso and add it the same way:http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com//lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.isoGet KAV Rescue:http://rescuedisk.kaspersky-labs.com/rescuedisk/updatable/kav_rescue_10.isoand follow the insctructions:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5041&view=findpost&p=97266All three worked just fine on real hardware.Cross-posting. No need to use syslinux or external tools. Edited August 31, 2010 by ilko_t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Relevant posts split from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=120444HMMMMM. I tried this - did not work. Can you post your working Config file?Snake, your report does NOT make any sense/help in any way.ilko_t posted instructions for 3 (different builds):do ALL three fail to work?or 1?or 2?If NOT all three WHICH one does not work?WHAT are you experiencing (like error messages, strange things on the screen, etc., etc.)Just to use the same terminology, what you posted is NOT a "config" it is a (menu).lst.(I know it's confusing, since a .lst is actually loaded by the configfile directive, but using .lst helps in disambiguation with Syslinux/Isolinux and also GRUB2 "config"'s)Syslinux/Isolinux use "config" (syslinux).cfg's, grub4os uses (menu).lst's.jaclaz Edited August 31, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
