Hello Peter, After some tests with MENU SHIFTKEY with different versions of Syslinux, I came to the conclusion that, at least for now, it would be better to undo commit: <http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=7e7139788c8a c6ffbf474976ad4d1727e0677b9f> "ldlinux: Allow a held shift key to override UI as well as...

Hello, Here's a small enhancement feature for menu.c32. Looking for feedback before starting any coding (not sure when I'll have time for implementation) Regards, Dany St-Amant *Problem statement* When MENU HIDDEN is used on an headless server, any noise on the serial console can interrupt the boot; it would be preferable if there only specific keys were allowed to interrupt, reducing

I have to admit that I did not tried MENU SHIFTKEY. I simply assumed that this option was not going to work over serial connection.

This prerelease should hopefully fix the handing of "ontimeout" with a label in menu.c32. It also adds the "menu shiftkey" command (so far undocumented), which only displays the menu if Shift/Alt/Caps/Scroll is set. Note that means it's not possible to display the menu on a serial console! -hpa

This bug is present since version 5.00. Note that I have not tested the "MENU SHIFTKEY" behavior, which is a different feature. To be clear, I am not saying that the current behaviors are a problem (except for the last test #9); I am just pointing them out. Hopefully this email might be of interest for some user(s). In some cases, users might just see a menu displayed agai...

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This is a series of patches that, * shrink the core by moving things into an ldlinux ELF module * begin wiring up some of the C versions of various functions The core now only contains essential code and loads the ldlinux module to do everything else, like providing a command line interface and loading kernels.
