[Episode 5x24]

Does Kon-Boot work if you burn it to a CD or Floppy?

Yes, it does. At first I thought I might have a bad download or something, but I've downloaded it multiple times on different computers, burned each to a disk, and they all work. It works on Ubuntu, 7, or Vista, but won't if it's on the USB drive.

I've run into the issue of Kon-Boot "detecting a dummy BIOS." I've tried just about every combination in my menu.lst, including both Mr. Castle's and Darren's, and I've redownloaded Kon-boot on 3 different computers multiple times (the .img). I've also tried running it on multiple computers. This is my current menu.lst:

splashimage /automata_wall.xpm.gz
color white light-grey
timeout 120

title Kon-Boot-test
map --mem /FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
rootnoverify (fd0)

title Ubuntu 9.10
root (hd0,0)
kernel  /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet 
splash
initrd  /casper/initrd.lz

title DBAN
map --mem /dban.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
rootnoverify (fd0)

title Reboot
reboot

Any clue what could be wrong?

Edit: Please don't hate me if I totally missed the solution to this problem in the thread, but I read the whole thing, and I couldn't find it.

Got the splash screen working. It didn't like it when I cropped and indexed it in photoshop, then opened the saved TIFF in GIMP and saved it as an XPM, so I did it all in GIMP and it worked.

I added Ubuntu 9.04 Live to my USB, I'll post a howto if anyone wants, or you can do what I did - google is your friend.

I looked around on the interwebs for hours and I could not for the life of me figure out how to set up ubuntu. The howto would be excellent.
