From which version of the problem? Please report.
It may be that the grldr file is too late.
He says 2018-04-23??
I mean, the line between a good version and a bad version.
I tested using QEMU 32-bit x86 emulator under Windows and Easy2Boot USB flash drive using recent 0.4.6a and 0.4.5c 2015-05-18.
pentium - FAIL pentium2 FAIL pentium3 PASS
Easy2Boot ran menu.lst and processed all commands OK, but froze at point where menu should be displayed (configfile command).
A simple menu.lst displays the menu and works OK e.g. title test boot
I also tried E2B with 0.4.6a 2013-03-20 and that also hangs just when about to display the E2B menu. P2 was made in 1997, P3 was made in 1999. Not many 18 year old systems around now...
see. Use 486 or 586 instructions, old CPU is not suitable. Old motherboard, use the early grub4dos bar
GRUB4DOS stays at blinking cursor right after the MBR finds
/grldr
on one of supported partitions (in this case, 4/8GB FAT32).The real machine tested is Toshiba Libretto 100CT, as well as QEMU (i386, with cmdline `qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium -hda /dev/sdb -m 32). Both cases fail to load.
However, when I try with CPU
pentium2
in QEMU, everything loads properly with the same imageTested build:
grub4dos-0.4.6a-2018-04-23.7z
