I haven't checked out those links of yours yet, but do they describe a method for setting up a RAM disk pre-kernel, and a way for the kernel to search for, and identify that? Yes. See the INT13h subsecton on the MEMDISK page for more...

Thanks.

At which address does vloader load the visopsys kernel. AFAI can tell, vloader skips the paddr field of the kernel. I think elf.c32 of Syslinux, reads that address and tries to place the kernel at 0xc000000 (= 3 221 225 472 in decimal), but qemu has only 128MiB of memory available for the VM, and th...

Feature request: support booting from memory mapped ISO or support reading additional files from a cpio archive (memory mapped) (initramfs). Would it be possible to support a ramdisk based filesystem? MEMDISK of Syslinux can boot ISOs and floppy images (and provides INT13h access to this memory mapp...

There is a new GPT partition type GUID for the Linux data partition, so Linux and Windows data partition can be differentiated. Previously Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows. Linux never had a separate unique partition type GUID defined for its data partitions. This created ...
