quick question on "XO" in hidden USB boot
« on: August 18, 2010, 23:52:10 PM »
PLoP works great in hidden USB mode.  I am able to boot my linux boot disk great with the bootloader.  Except for a brief 1 second view on the screen of "XO".  Any ideas what that is from? Here are my config settings:

Video mode     : text mode
Start mode     : hidden
Countdown      : on
Countdown value: 1 seconds
Default boot   : usb
Profile        : 1
Starfield      : on
Zoom animation : on
Font           : bootmanager
Force USB 1.1  : off
Use USB MassDev: 1
Use INT19h     : off
Startup hotkey : no

it has nothing to do with plpbt.bin. its from plpbtldr.bin. at the beginning, it was used for debugging. maybe its time to remove it.

Elmar, thanks for the reply. Makes sense, I was racking my brain trying to figure that out.  The source code is closed yes?  There's no way I can take it out myself easily?

you can replace the sequence 0xcd,0x10 with 0x90,0x90 in the plpgenbtldr source code or open with a hexeditor plpbtldr.bin and replace it there
