A Suggestion about the Screen of Loading the initrd of FD64 900 Beta [CLOSED]

[tatemono]

When the initrd of FD64 812 is being loaded, the number of dots following "Loading initrd" on the screen increases as time elapses. However, there are always only 3 dots following "Loading initrd" on the screen during the period when the initrd of FD64 900 Beta is being loaded. It would be preferable for FD64 900 Beta to behave in the same way as FD64 812 does when loading its initrd.

@tatemono, you are the one who asked for it
Remember this post? viewtopic.php?p=93732#p93732

In particular, in the post, I said

We have been using the older isolinux because it shows progress while it is loading (printing the dots), while the new one just show three dots and then goes silent until the system boots, so it's not very nice.

And you said:

Both methods work for me. I prefer the 2nd one.

The "second one" is the where I put the updated isolinux ...

@jamesbond
Due to my oversight in not carefully reading your previous post in another thread, I failed to notice that you had already mentioned the drawback of the new version of isolinux. I deeply apologize for this oversight.

[jamesbond]

No worries at all, and no apology is necessary. I'm merely pointing out that this is the consequence of the new isolinux. Now, I can put back the older isolinux, but then your boot problem might return back again.

Thank you for testing, and please continue to report issues, and we'll try to fix that (if we can) so that Fatdog64 will become better for everyone.

@jamesbond
I would rather tolerate the drawbacks of the new version of isolinux than encounter booting issues. Please refrain from using the old version of isolinux.
