Ok, here is the first try to turn the gfxboot wrapper into a com32 module. I had to extend the interface to the gfxboot core a bit to get it working. So it works only with latest gfxboot from git://gitorious.org/gfxboot/gfxboot.git Steffen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: gfxboot_c32.diff.g...

If the file size wasn't a multiple of 64KB, we could overwrite the next entry in the malloc arena so reading the initramfs would fail.

Hello, I think I found another problem with gfxboot, and I think it is completely unrelated to the 'packed archive' issue. Again I tried using gfxboot with the Ubuntu gfxboot archive, this time with EFI64, using a real EFI-capable machine. I first verified that everything else actually works by commenting out 'ui gfxboot bootlogo'...

Ubuntu CDs use multiple configuration files and the include directive as well as gfxboot, so it's useful for gfxboot to support these.

The COM API provides a function to read from disk (int 22h, AX=07h) which needs a destination buffer aligned on a 512 byte boundary. gfxboot uses this function but doesn't ensure its data buffer is properly aligned. This leads to failures on a few machines (HP Pavillion dv5): gfxboot: isolinux: Disk error 09, AX = 424F, drive FE https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48814 has a bit more details. This patch just makes sure the bu...

What?s the status of the Google Summer of Code?COM32 module implementation of GFXBoot?project? From what has been communicated to me, things have not gone as planned, and it?s currently in limbo.

From: Jorge D Cisneros <jorge.cisneros at hp.com> Problem: The actual code only check for entries with kernel or linux, so this example will not work, this patch is to add support to gfxboot to detect the entry COM32 and use any module, in this case the module is chain.c32 Version: Syslinux 4.04 Example: UI gfxboot.c32 LABEL boot_hd0 MENU LABEL Boot from first hard drive COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0 Signed-off-by: Jorge D Cisneros <jorge.cisneros at hp.com> -- --- com32/gfxbo...

Good afternoon Sebastian, I am working on upgrading the Ubuntu Syslinux package. It is currently not in sync with the Debian version, partially because of merge conflicts with the Gfxboot patches. Cf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/270822 https://merges.ubuntu.com/s/syslinux/REPORT I was wondering where your Gfxboot version comes from. I know both Suse and Ubuntu have patches, not sure how they relate to your module though. Thanks, -- Pierre-Alex...

...ured out two bugs I'd like to share with you. 1- Missing menu entires If you consider a file with the following entries, only the first item appears label mga32 kernel anything label mga64 kernel anything Looks like the number at the end of the label is giving some headaches to gfxboot. If I do rename this two entries by "firstlabel" and "secondlabel" it works perfectly. Does any of you have an idea on the reason ? 2- Loading complementary com32 modules Some of my label entries are calling other com32 modules. Syslinux reports that it can't find any of...
