i`ve found a bug in chain.c32 in v4.06. When i use isolinux it does not run windows7 installation, chainloading bootmgr. the error is: Can't find myself on the drive I booted from. chain.c32 from syslinux 3.xx works like a charm! chain.c32 from syslinux 5 shous tat this is not a com32 app

Although the syntax parser (in option.c) doesn't assume the parentheses neither the path post the closed parentheses, it's also bloated and seems not to fit well the MultiFS purposes. On the other hand, find_dp and its helper functions at chain.c could be nicely re-used with a few changes. >> >> -hpa >> >> > > > > -- > Raphael S. Carvalho -- Raphael S. Carvalho

This is a bit updated set of chain.c32 changes that simplifies a few things (and in partiter part), fixes few minor issues and adds a few new features. Details are in the following commits, below is the summary and pull details at the end. Shao - any chance to peek over them ? Most of those are relatively simple changes and well tested, though of course something might have slipped my attention.

This small set fixes few bugs, improves gpt handling (under buggy conditions) and implements strict flag with more fine grained control which should fix issues with sanity checks against disk sizes. If this set is allright I'd want to do what I mentioned in older discussion with Ady - backport missing patches from 6.x to 5.x and 4.x so all versions have up to date chain version. Michal
