[syslinux] 3.73 crashes FreeDOS in VMWare - 3.72 works fine
With the same configuration an ISOLINUX CD which boots a FreeDOS Floppy image via MEMDISK Syslinux-3.73 crashes in VMWare and also on several newer boxes just after the kernel loading with "invalid OPCODE ...". Same CD with Syslinux-3.72 is working fine. Build environment for 3.72 was gcc-4.3.2 for 3.73 gcc-4.3.3 - any idea what can cause the troubles? -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Le-go Bekleidungswerke GmbH | Fon: +49-9281/750-299 | | Axel Reinhold, CIO | Fax: +49-9281/750-270 | | Am Wiesengrund 20 | Axel.Reinhold at Le-goBW.de | | 95032 Hof | HRB Hof 1988 | | Geschaefsf.: Leon Gonczarowski - Dr. Jakob Gonczarowski | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Bitte um Nur-Text-Mails - Office-, HTML, .EXE-Anhaenge | | oeffne ich grundsaetzlich nicht. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Reinhold;Axel FN:Axel Reinhold ORG:Le-go Bekleidungswerke GmbH ADR:;;Am Wiesengrund 20;Hof;;95032;Germany TEL;WORK:+49-9281-750-299 TEL;FAX:+49-9281-750-270 TEL;CELL:+49-172-9382465 EMAIL:Axel.Reinhold at Le-goBW.de END:VCARD
