Hi, I just found this post: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-September/005814.html ONTIMEOUT was broken in menu.c32, and you fixed it. But the fix broke support for LABEL references in ONTIMEOUT. I changed my "ONTIMEOUT local" to "ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1" and it works! Anoying is that I tried ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 before. This failed, but after having a look at the s...

Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe # Boot To Local Drive label localboot LOCALBOOT 0

I want to implement following: wait 5 seconds till the users chooses the right label. if nothing is done for 5 seconds it should boot from next boot device specified by the BIOS.

...dvanced menu, though the complex example is definitely still beyond me. I'm trying to figure out a few basics from it, such as the tab key for line editing (don't know what I've done wrong here since it seems like I copied that part right) and the timeout. It looks to me like the only ontimeout implemented so far is an option to not even show the menu at all if the user doesn't press a key within a certain time period. But, I want it to show the menu and simply time out after a while of no keypresses. Is there any way to implement this that doesn't require several pages of code?...

I'm fond of using the above with TIMEOUT 100 and vesamenu.c32 so the system just cycles the menus repeatedly awaiting user interaction. However if user interacts, but then don't choose anything for a few minutes, the next time she chooses the pxelinux.0 option it will hang. This occurs on different models of HP ProLiant DL G5. The only way to recover is to hard reset the system. Is

Testing the following (uncommon) syslinux.cfg with different Syslinux versions allows getting to several observations; some might be of interest to users, and some for the Syslinux developers. syslinux.cfg *** UI menu.c32 DEFAULT help TIMEOUT 30 # ONTIMEOUT help LABEL pwd COM32 pwd.c32 LABEL help MENU HELP help.txt *** 1_ For the TIMEOUT-related directives to behave as expected, at least 2 LABELs shall be present. 2_ Manually selecting "LABEL help" from the menu will display the content of "help.txt". 3_ Letting the DEFAUL...

Hi. I'm trying to get around the problem of an overloaded tftp server causing a pxelinux client hanging at the boot: prompt, waiting for input (no one will input anything to it). The server is OK enough to give the pxebootloader but not the config file, as in this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2004-June/003662.html So, in that case, I guess setting TIMEOUT to some

...t executed fine. So, *is the use of labels mandatory?*... (This is on linux, booting is via extlinux.) What is the absolute shortest syslinux.cfg when I want to just start immediately the vmlinuz? No menu, no prompt, no implicit command line, no keystroke watching, no autocompleting. The 'ontimeout' is the same as 'default', or is there any difference? Only one of them can be present?

...s Syslinux supports UART in COM32 image? There's two easy options in my opinion, depending on the data you're feeding or can feed via the UART. 1) menu.c32 in serial mode. Using the shortcut keys to select a label then providing an <enter> keystroke, it'll work. Set DEFAULT or ONTIMEOUT, TIMEOUT, SERIAL, CONSOLE, and create LABELs with MENU LABELs containing '^' for the shortcuts. 2) Custom COM32 with character-based read() calls to stdin, setting stdin/stdout with the SERIAL and CONSOLE directives, with calls to syslinux_run_command(). I'd recommend avoiding direct...

Hi, I'm missing something in my isolinux.cfg configuration but I'm not quite sure what it is. menu.c32 displays properly over video console, but on the serial connection, the first letter of the labels are duplicated, and the margin is pushed off towards the right: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59666947/isolinux.jpg my config is: --- cut --- 1. serial 0 115200 2. console 0 3. 4.

...disable the select box. As the request may take too long or cause an error, I set a timeout that re-enables the select boxes. Now, this isn''t really complicated, but it makes my code just slightly messier. What I''d like best is to have a two options on Ajax: timeoutDelay and onTimeout, where on a timeout the request is aborted. Does the base XmlHttpRequest support this in any way?
