Hello everyone, I have just released Syslinux 4.00-pre59. This is intended as last call for 4.00: from this point on I will only fix showstopper bugs. Anything that didn't make this release will have to wait for 4.01 or 4.10. Please help test it and report bugs, so we can avoid said showstopper bugs in the actual release. Target date for final release is Monday, June 28. -hpa

All testing done using a qemu VM. I bisected this down to 7ebe998 Switch to 64-bit sector pointers everywhere Does that make any sense? Paul

The main idea is to say "Welcome lua" Attached a patch for what I have in mind.
