The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out.
Gert was a great source of motivation for making that -pre2.
He found many bugs and gave nice ideas.
Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests.
This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming
syslinux 3.84.
Since -pre1, here come the Changelog
* Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache
* Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu detection if the cpu supports vmx or
svm
* Fixing memory detection under the cli mode
* Adding cpu core detection
* Adding more cpu flags
* Display an error message if no disk is present while using the
disk mode.
* Clearing screen didn't reset the cursor position to 0x0
* User can switch from vesa to text mode via "vesa>enable" and
"vesa>disable"
* Adding a simple menu for the provided floppy & iso images
* Adding "novesa" command for future use
* Reworking CLI's history mode to avoid corruption
* The installed memory size is now detected even if no dmi table is
present
* Memory menu is shown even if no memory bank got detected
* Fixing grub2 detection
* User can override the background image in vesa mode via the
"vesa=<file>" option

Happy testing,
Erwan
memtest is missing from the img file. It probably should be in there because it's a command called from Memory --> Run Test. memtest.org It's GPL, so it shouldn't be an issue. Just rename memtest86+-4.00.bin to memtest. Also gzip the img with the -9 flag. :) Patrick --- On Fri, 11/27/09, Erwan <erwan at seanodes.com> wrote:> From: Erwan <erwan at seanodes.com> > Subject: [syslinux] HDT 0.3.6-pre2 is out ! > To: hdt at zytor.com, "For discussion of SYSLINUX and tftp-hpa" <syslinux at zytor.com> > Date: Friday, November 27, 2009, 4:37 PM > The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is > out. > > Gert was a great source of motivation for making that > -pre2. > He found many bugs and gave nice ideas. > Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests. > > This release will be more or less what will be included in > the incoming syslinux 3.84. > > Since -pre1, here come the Changelog > > ? ? * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache > ? ? * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu detection if the > cpu supports vmx or svm > ? ? * Fixing memory detection under the cli mode > ? ? * Adding cpu core detection > ? ? * Adding more cpu flags > ? ? * Display an error message if no disk is > present while using the disk mode. > ? ? * Clearing screen didn't reset the cursor > position to 0x0 > ? ? * User can switch from vesa to text mode via > "vesa>enable" and "vesa>disable" > ? ? * Adding a simple menu for the provided > floppy & iso images > ? ? * Adding "novesa" command for future use > ? ? * Reworking CLI's history mode to avoid > corruption > ? ? * The installed memory size is now detected > even if no dmi table is present > ? ? * Memory menu is shown even if no memory bank > got detected > ? ? * Fixing grub2 detection > ? ? * User can override the background image in > vesa mode via the "vesa=<file>" option > > This release can be download on the hdt 0.3.6 home page > (hdt-project.org/attachment/wiki/hdt-0.3.6) > or using this links: > hdt-project.org/raw-attachment/wiki/hdt-0.3.6/hdt_0_3_6_pre2.c32 > hdt-project.org/raw-attachment/wiki/hdt-0.3.6/hdt-0.3.6-pre2.iso > hdt-project.org/raw-attachment/wiki/hdt-0.3.6/hdt-0.3.6-pre2.img > hdt-project.org/raw-attachment/wiki/hdt-0.3.6/hdt-0.3.6-pre2.img.gz > > Happy testing, > Erwan > > _______________________________________________ > Syslinux mailing list > Submissions to Syslinux at zytor.com > Unsubscribe or set options at: > zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/syslinux > Please do not send private replies to mailing list > traffic. > >
Erwan <erwan at seanodes.com> writes:> The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out. > Happy testingHi, thanks for the great work! Some notes: * My 2 GB pendrive is shown as: 1 GiB (1997 MB) What about rounding instead of truncation? * The Part number info for memory banks isn't aligned. * F1, TAB and some other keypresses remove everything from the screen except for the top window. * Deleting the top window with ESC redraws the new top window only, the previously obscured parts of lower ones remain missing. -- Cheers, Feri.
Erwan a ?crit :> The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out. >[...]> * Adding cpu core detectionJust a note on that point. I was able to double check that intel cores are well detected but I don't have any AMD multicore processor. If some of you could make some verifications on my work on it, it would be lovely. Thx,
