hello balder ,

Your last sample that leads me to success. I think mainly becuase it's simple. Simple is the best , it can avoid lots of unknown errors :

   can't find PART.EZBu.ezb
   can't find Disk3
   can't find Disk4/easy4/easy4/isofiles4/xxx.iso

Just like you , I create :

   Disk2 ...
   Disk2\acron10.iso ................................ OK          
   Disk2\acron12.iso ................................ OK
   Disk2\acron13.iso ................................ OK
   Disk2\backup.bmp
   Disk2\backup.ezb

   Disk3 ...
   Disk3\EaseusPM7.iso ........................... boot FAIL    (Easeus Partition Master 7)
   Disk3\EPM9.iso ..................................... OK
   Disk3\MPW7.iso ................................... boot FAIL     (MiniTool Partition Wizard 7)
   Disk3\PHD12.iso ................................... OK
   Disk3\part.bmp
   Disk3\part.ezb

   Disk4 ...
   Disk4\RXPE.iso ...................................... boot FAIL     (Remember this was hard to success and easy to Fail ? I hate it , but I need it)
   Disk4\7PE_BS.iso .................................. OK
   Disk4\7PE_My.iso ................................. OK
   Disk4\8PE_BS.iso .................................. OK
   Disk4\winpe.bmp
   Disk4\winpe.ezb

For the above 3 "boot FAIL" items , I'll try them again. Why I'm happy now is because , with your tutor , I can make so many items success to boot normal.

balder , you're great :

   1. Simple will minimized error.
   2. Everytime if I've to edit my boot program , I can edit them individually and without having to remake the whole big "mydisk.iso" (5GB) again and wait for a long time
   3. Even I've to edit the mainmenu (bootmenu.ezb) , now it's only about 80MB , it create "mydisk.iso" very fast without touching the other Disk2 , Disk3 and Disk 4

After trying the above 3 "boot FAIL" items , I'll let you know my result or need your help. Also I'll try the [Esc] key to go back to mainmenu (bootmenu.ezb) from Disk2 , Disk3 and Disk4

Thanks a lot again

hello balder ,

I can run all my programs now normal. I want add a [Esc] key in Disk2 , Disk3 and Disk4 to go back to Disk1\bootmenu.ezb.

I made a disk1.img in Disk2 , like your harddisk.img , I modified the menu.lst like this :

find --set-root ezboot/BOOTMENU.EZB
chainloader --raw ezboot/BOOTMENU.EZB

             or

find --set-root disk1/BOOTMENU.EZB
chainloader --raw disk1/BOOTMENU.EZB
(But actually disk1 is not exist in usb stick)

What's wrong with the disk1.img

Thanks

Must be:
find --set-root /ezboot/ezldr
chainloader --raw /ezboot/ezldr

Notice:  /ezboot/ezldr :O

Also notice you only need to replace 'bootmenu.ezb' on USB device (in this case 'bootmenu.ezb in folder 'ezboot') and of course also copy modified 'grub-kicker-image' to (in this case) folder 'ezboot'
Don't forget to push 'Save' in EasyBoot so the changes in the menu 'bootmenu.ezb' is in place, before copying and overwriting existing 'boomenu.ezb' on USB device :;):  

EDIT!

I can confirm that '[Esc] key' using menu command: run ***.img    with 'grub'kicker'image' as expected is working perfectly :;):

Wow it gets better and better :D

........................

hello balder ,

Sorry , I don't mean it's a menu item to use menu command. I mean "Misc" colume :

[Misc] ... [Func Key] Esc ... [Command] ... run disk1.img

And the menu.lst in disk1.img is :

   find --set-root /ezboot/BOOTMENU.EZB
   chainloader --raw /ezboot/BOOTMENU.EZB

I place disk1.img in Disk2 , Disk3 , and Disk4 each. Normally the disk1.img should like the disk2.img , disk3.img and disk4.img

I put the disk2.img , disk3.img and disk4.img in \ezboot , that's why in bootmenu.ezb menu item with menu command :

    run disk2.img
    run disk3.img
    run disk4.img

So bootmenu.ezb can find the Disk2 , Disk3 and Disk 4

Alternately , why disk1.img in Disk2 can't find bootmenu.ezb ?

Thanks

Yes that’s a good question to ask ???

I cannot find any problem in your structure that should cause any problem for grub to find ‘bootmenu.ezb’ in folder ‘ezboot’ ???

Unfortunately I’m not in my home residence until Tuesday this week, which stops me from doing needed tests :O

To clarify…
Is it only: “[Misc] ... [Func Key] Esc ... [Command] ... run disk1.img”  that fails ???
I mean if you simply create a menu entry in let’s say ‘backup.ezb’ (run disk1.img), can you then jump back to ‘bootmenu.ezb’ :O

hello balder ,

It's not only happen in "[Misc] ... [Func Key] Esc ... [Command] ... run disk1.img” , but also in add item.

I find out the reason is there's no Disk1 in usb stick root. The menu.lst in disk1.img ask to find bootmenu.ezb , but there's no disk1 in root directory. So an hour-glass comes out and hang.

I've tried to copy the whole Disk1 folder to the root of usb stick , and in the "[Misc] ... [Func Key] Esc ... [Command] ... run /disk1/ezboot/bootmenu.ezb"

When boot , in disk2 , I can really go back to bootmenu.ezb , but surely that's usb stick\Disk1\ezboot\bootmenu.ezb. Still there's mistake , I can see the bootmenu.ezb but with no background , and but this moment , I can't go into either disk2 , disk3 or disk4.

I know of course this's not the right way to solve. But I don't know how. Sorry no other way in my mind.

I think the failure possibilities are :

   run /disk1/ezboot/bootmenu.ezb
   run /ezboot/bootmenu.ezb
   run bootmenu.ezb
   run /iso/iso

Any idea ? Thanks

Quote: ” run /ezboot/bootmenu.ezb”

Sorry, this can never work :(

When run from USB device following rules apply:

You can from the first menu (the main menu - menu that is launched when USB device boot up) use following ‘standard’ menu command (if I can recall correct):

Run ***.ezb (usually some jump to some sub menu inside folder 'ezboot')

But above only works from the folder you started (usually folder ezboot)
However, as we are interested to ‘fool’ EasyBoot to launch a ‘main menu’ from folder with a different name than folder ‘ezboot’, we need to use a ‘grub-kicker-image’ - typically with a grub command in text-file ‘menu’lst’ like this example:

find --set-root /ezboot/ezldr
chainloader --raw /ezboot/ezldr

This force the ‘main menu’ in folder ‘ezboot’ to launch
It is not menu file ***.ezb we launch, it is the binary file ‘ezldr’ that must be launched - in this example - ezldr in folder ‘ezboot’

Read in post nr;13 and also take a closer look into my example in download in post nr,20

Sorry I was under stress this days and didn’t notice you tried to launch ***.ezb when it must be file ‘ezldr’ that is the target - using grub-kicker-images’ to launch 'ezldr'
I have edit post nr; 23 to correct menu.lst command :cool:

Note: funny is that if only having two different folders on the root of USB device, let’s say one folder ‘ezboot’ and one folder ‘winpe’ (holding menu to launch WinPE-iso-files), then you can use menu command in EasyBoot (at least I managed it to work):

Run /winpe/ezldr
This launch menu in folder ‘winpe’

And to jump back to folder ‘ezboot’ with its ‘main menu’ you simply use menu command in menu in WinPE:  

run /ezboot/ezldr
This launch ‘main menu’ in folder ‘ezboot’

But if using 3 different folders it fails completely ???

Regards balder

hello balder ,

I've done this test :

1. By using your usb.zip which has folders ezboot and test , which in test folder , the menu.lst in ezboot.img is :

   find --set-root /ezboot/ezldr
   chainloader --raw /ezboot/ezldr
   
    I know it calls the /ezboot/ezldr and not /ezboot/test.ezb

2. In my easyboot , I've C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot , Disk2 , Disk3 and Disk4.
   I made a new folder in C:\Disk1 and copy all the contents from C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot to this new folder
   Copy the whole Disk2 folder to C:\Disk2
   Use Easyboot to open bootmenu.ezb in C:\Disk1 , save it.

When I compile to a C:\Easyboot\iso\mydisk.iso , this mydisk.iso should only be 82MB in size , but it takes a long time to complie , even with an error message.

balder , I think until now , what I need is already fulfilled , if it's only a minor problem that can't return back to the bootmenu.ezb , I really don't mind.

Thanks for your turoring all along.

@allgames71

Thanks for your information :;):

However, I’ll continue to do tests for future use (I have some ideas what can be done to ’optimise’ jumps between different EasyBoot menus run from USB device)

It will take some days before I’m back in my home residence to start this procedure :cool:

Regards balder
