Machine using HP DL380 Gen9 server Initially I got problem where boot hung at My IP 0.0.0.0 Then I referred to http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-June/023641.html And used the patch provided then it again hung but at different step Getting cached packet My IP 192.168.103.41 (hung here) >From /var/log/messages Oct 7 01:16:10 foreman in.tftpd[43905]: RRQ from 192.168.103.41 filename

Thanks for the response, Gene. Much appreciated. I didn't get all of it; mind if I follow on below? ldlinux.sys is ldlinux.bin without the VBR (Volume Boot Record) code. > Makes sense. > > 1.

A proposal for changing the LDLINUX.SYS layout and flow: The current situation ("old style"): ldlinux.bin's physical layout: - VBR - 512 bytes of padding (never lands in memory) - ldlinux.sys, which is: - Sect1 code (494 bytes, leaving enough room for at least one extent, as planned) - Extent pointer patch space (1920 bytes) - The rest of the code

Calc the size of ldlinux.sys from ldlinux.bin, and check if it exceeds the limit. ldlinux.sys must fit between the bootsector and two copies of ADV whose size may vary. Thus, the size of ldlinux.sys (limit) can be at most: 65536 - 2 * ADV_SIZE - 512. Certain file systems (such as BTRFS and UFS2) will rely on ldlinux.sys being installed on the 0-64k range, thus it can't exceed the limit,

I have some concerns about the Syslinux boot process, which I'm now investigating in connection with my work on booting Live-CD images from USB flashdrives. Some of these are related to what seems to be inadequate documentation, but I think that there are also aspects of Syslinux operation which could be fairly easily improved. quoting from the official documentation: Since version 5.00,

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9.

Hi all, wasnt sure whether this was the best place to put this information; but something seems to have gone 'backwards' in the later pre-releases of 6.03 regarding network booting. below are results of me testing - i did each a few times to make sure they are valid results. hope it helps identify something that's gone awry ? so far, 6.03 pre11 and pre13 (excluding efi32) seem most

Hi, These patches fix some compiler warnings in ldlinux and elflink. I've tried to split the patches out so that they only change one file or one type of problem at once. So, if they do inadvertently introduce any bugs it should at least be easy to bisect to a smallish commit. The following changes since commit 9ded45991b4fc83b40af963feb773ddca2589d74: ldlinux: Parse and store the

Hello, I am trying to setup a PXE server for two Debian releases (stretch and buster) using their respective network boot images (netboot.tar.gz), which I extracted into subdirectories of the TFTP server's root directory: ??? ??? debian ??? ??? ??? buster ??? ??? ??? ??? debian-installer ??? ??? ??? ??? ldlinux.c32 -> debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/ldlinux.c32 ??? ??? ??? ???

I am trying to build an RPM starting from the TAR archive. The relevant error is: make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp1/Software/rpmbuild/BUILD/syslinux-5.00/libinstaller' perl bin2c.pl syslinux_bootsect < ../core/ldlinux.bss > bootsect_bin.c perl bin2c.pl syslinux_ldlinux 512 < ../core/ldlinux.sys > ldlinux_bin.c perl bin2c.pl syslinux_mbr < ../mbr/mbr.bin > mbr_bin.c perl

I'm trying to add boot support to https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/tree/master/plugins/floppy This NBD server plugin generates a completely virtual FAT filesystem and partition table. Nothing is ever written to a file, and it must run without anything needing to be root, loop mounting etc. Running "syslinux --install <something>" is a non-starter. So I've looked at

Hi, The following patches are just copying some functionality that exists in the asm cmdline code into the C version. There's still a few more things to do but we're getting there.

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> When a COM32 module exits, the functions never return and a new call to ldlinux_enter_command is made. This could fill the stack and overflow on some data present in memory. This patch use setjmp/longjmp to return to the main function and restart from there when a COM32 module exits.
