Hi all,
Syslinux works with an SDI image of 501971968 Byte.
Now I am trying to load an image of 1Gb to Ram with syslinux.
There seems to be an error in the Tutorial from Saad Syed "RAM Boot Using
SDI in Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1" or he uses something other
we dont have.
So I dont know how Remi succeed, because he copied in his Tutorial most of
that and also the error?!
There seems also to be different LOAD blobs, Saad is
