mkISOfs Script v009: download


Log of changes:
-Now the script copies projectinfo.ini in the default iso.
-It makes the iso bootable from RAM with PicoXP
-If the user selects to boot from RAM , the script deletes the first ISO from the ISO folder.
-It lets the user select whether to run mkisofs silently or not
-It deletes some files that were created in the past in the target folder by this script. ( Thanks Proton for the idea)

Very good job. I like where it deletes the ISO if you create a RAM iso.

Both Standard and PicoXP Boot as A regular ISO now. Standard Still boots fine with Boot from RAM ISO. The Pico XP still reports that it cannot fine the ramdisk.sys. At least the normal one ISO works on PicoXP. Can you make it extract the ramdisk.sys from RAMDISK.SY_. Remember you said that it could be compressed but it doesnt seem to work with picoXP. It just works with the standard right now. I point the RamBoot to the folder that contains setupldr.bin, and RAMDISK.SY_. Which you said would be fine.

This is using the new PicoXP Script which was updated by psc but taken back to the old one.

My test results with PicoXP and different source CDs

Source XP SP2 German:
Direct ISO
RAM ISO

Source XP Sp2 English:
Direct ISO
RAM ISO

W2003 SP1 English:
Direct ISO
RAM ISO


W2003 SP1 German
Direct ISO

RAM ISO


I suggest: Apply your change when OS is XP. And the current version of PicoXP cannot be booted from RAM.

Using XP source it works because the create iso script copies the ramdisk.sys . I'm going to fix it to copy also when using W2003 as source

[smiley]

Beta 2 released! I hape it fix it. (See first post)

[pscEx]

Now W2003 English works both Direct and RAM ISO.

But both W2003 German have the same blue screen:


What's with greek?

I'm rather sure that this is not a 'feature' of your script. This is based deep in PicoXP. And I'm going to find out what happens.

Peter

are you sure that it isn't a problem with create iso script? If not, i'll release it as ready

[TheHive]

Now it creates a good Pico XP RAM ISO but not a Regular Pico XP ISO.

Same error about Ramdisk.sys when creating a regular Pico XP ISO and running it.

Standard RAM ISO and Regular ISO are fine.

Yes, I'm sure.

The script has to distinguish between XP and W2003, but it really does not have to handle W2003 English and German differences!

First i'm going to examine TheHive's issues and afterwards i am going to release it

@TheHive: Have you cleared your target before testing?

[TheHive]

I tought it was an automatic Target Clean up on PicoXP also. And it seems as it does clear it when it run the PicoXP and its running the Scripts. I also tried a manual clean up and I still get the error message.

[smiley]

What source do you use? Can you post a screenshot?

[TheHive]

[smiley]

I mean screenshot of the error . What language is your source?

[TheHive]

lol! English.

[TheHive]

Hold on one sec. I just downloaded the latest WinBuilder_SandBox20060913_02.zip and testing and it seems to be working and booting. Let me test some more.

[TheHive]

Dowloaded the latest WinBuilder_SandBox20060913_02.zip, and just replaced the mkISOfs Script v008 beta 2 and replacing the location of where the RAMboot files directory is.

All Seems to work. The Regular PicoXP ISO and RAM PicoXP ISO. ALso both RAM and Regular Standard ISO.

@PSC: I can't publish it now because i am realy busy:D

[TheHive]

I had read that post when you posted it but I had not comment to the thread.
Thats what gave the idea to check to see if there was a new one available.

[pscEx]

Good news first:

Now (with beta2) everything is running:

XP SP2 German and English
W2003 SP1 German and English
Both with Standard and RAM ISO.

Reason was:
In my slipstreamed W2003 English there was besides the standard MSVCRT.DL_ an old MSVCTR.DLL which I copied.
In my German version there was the standard DL_ only, so failure.

(fixed)

Now the bad news:
Build a project with RAM ISO and run it under Qemu.
The run it again. You get the error:

#103 [Failed] DirDelete - Failed to delete directory [%BaseDir%\Projects\PicoXP\Target] 1 error(s) while processing.

The target is really not cleaned, but can be deleted manually.

@smiley: can I do something to help with 32bit driver?

@smiley: can I do something to help with 32bit driver?

No , the only needed is to compile it (i think). You can help if you can compile it

Which compiler?
