I am trying to build an RPM starting from the TAR archive.

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

...ixed SYSLINUX version you can use pre-patched files. I tried that and got "ldlinux.sys" running but it failed to load ldlinux.c32. I used "syslinux_mbr" in "create_mbr" and made the partition bootable. "create_partition_boot_sector" was modified to use "syslinux_bootsect" with Sect1Ptr0 = 0x80 and Sect1Ptr1 = 0. The value 0x80 was chosen because the plugin put the first file (ldlinux.sys) there. "ldlinux.sys" itself was pre-patched by the official installer. Therefore I created a compatible temporary file system with "mkfs.vfat -f 1 -F 32 -R 32...

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

I have put a compile hack in for older distros and pushed it out as syslinux-3.62-pre16; for those who have reported compilation problem on older distros I would greatly appreciate if you could confirm if it works now (it worked for me on a CentOS 3.9 VM.) -hpa

This set of patches add some support for sector size >512. Currently it fixes extlinux, MBR for GPT and ext partitions. Other code is unaffected. This set of patches has been tested on a read Dell machine running a beta firmware.
