grub4dos-chenall - issue #144

Request: Allow more than 11 characters in filename for insmod


Posted on Jun 25, 2013 by Happy Kangaroo

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Convention at reboot.pro is:

grub4dos batch file = .g4b grub4dos executable = .g4e

The 11 character restriction on insmod means that the filename must be no longer than 7 characters (1234567.g4b is maximum length).

Can this filename restriction be made larger please - e.g. 32 characters?

2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

There is a problem with this version when I run DPMS.bat - crashing around fat copy area of code.

Yes - it loops when I run my version of DPMS.bat There is a problem with it so it is broken somewhere. I did not test insmod because normal code does not run.

I had a working USB drive I replaced the grldr with the new one and it stopped working. I put the original grldr file back on and it worked again. I will test some more...

re-tested - now it seems OK! insmod now loads a 12 character filename and kernel+initrd+boot runs from a !BAT file.

Not sure what the problem was before (????), but this change looks good now.
