Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

The bootcode may be syslinux's, but I used `fdisk -c=dos` and `ms-sys` to get it done (http://doc.nethence.com/freedos), fdisk -c=dos /dev/sdb mkfs.fat -F16 /dev/sdb1 ms-sys -w /dev/sdb ms-sys --fat16free /dev/sdb1 pierre-philipp

Hello SYSLINUX. I am happy to report that EXTLINUX 6.04 from git as well as Testing/6.04-pre1 is running fine here on ext4 and XFS root partitions. I actually had troubles with v6.03 when dealing with XFS, that seemed to be broken (could not find ldlinux.c32). Why not release 6.04? Thanks

Thank you for your answer. I need to correct some information from my previous post: booting from `/` did not work either. I just assumed it did based on previous experience. But with that successful build on development branch, it did not either. > I would suggest trying first the official binaries that are already > included in the official distribution archive (6.03-pre1).

Hi, I would like to use Dovecot not only for virtual mboxes, but also for local users. In other words, I would like to use different "mail_location"s depending on "passdb" "passwd-file" versus "passwd". I need that as the smtp daemon I am using (david parsons' postoffice smtp server) serves both but is only able to process messages through

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only
