I have released SYSLINUX 1.71 after fixing the total "brown-paper-bag" class bug in 1.70. My best guess is that I checked in the wrong verson of some code. -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major rewrite of some of the internals. It also includes some bug fixes. SYSLINUX 1.71 is a bug fix to 1.70. Changes in 1.71: * Fix a

This release is identical to 1.67-pre1. Unfortunately the people who reported problems with 1.66 never got back to me to indicate if it solved their problem or not, but since it fixes a real bug, regardless, I decided to release it as 1.67. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ -hpa 1.67 is a trivial bug fix release affecting a fairly small number of systems. 1.66 is an

Since I've gotten convinced the really serious PXELINUX/ISOLINUX bug in 1.71 got squashed, I have released 1.72. Again, 1.72 is a bug fix release only. I have some additional rewrites pending before I want to introduce features that use the new core code, but let's make sure it gets usable again, first... -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a

I am trying to PXE boot an ISO image using ISOLINUX. I am starting small just trying to get anything working but seem to be having problems. I followed the instructions on the isolinux page (http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php) but still cannot get it to work. I can get the ISO image to try to load but then it stops at the booting message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is

Hi, first of all: syslinux is really a good bootloader and since there is isolinux making boot-cds is fun -- thanks for the great work. I had some problems with syslinux-1.71 loading l bigger 2.4.18-kernel. The error was something like "Boot failed: press any key ..." that brought my back to the boot-prompt of syslinux. A check with syslinux-1.67 showed no problems. Sizes of the

hpa etal, Im trying to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest

Changes in 3.61: * EXTLINUX: fix crash when accessing an empty file. * elf.c32: If a PHDR segment is present, load it. * Fix SHA-1 and MD5 passwords. * ISOLINUX: fix booting when mastered without mkisofs -boot-info-table (broken since 3.50, sigh...) * Handle BIOSes which emit multiple contiguous valid memory regions in the e820 map. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.61 Entered-date:

Changes in 3.73: * Upgrade gPXE to release version 0.9.5. * Fix a number of build errors on various platforms. * Handle systems with E820 "extended attributes" per ACPI 3. Someone "cleverly" decided to change the E820 spec in a backwards-incompatible manner! * MEMDISK: default to "safeint". * Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", standard

Sorry Gene, I got the version of binutils is 2.17. I download the latest Binutils to make the *objdump* and *objcopy*. with both of these utilities to create new pxelinux.raw. then, the error message shows me that, objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw ../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin ../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30165, max 0) make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

Hi! We've been trying to use pxelinux to boot the Intel D815EGEW board (a sub ATX board). I've discovered what appears to be a bug in pxelinux. pxelinux versions up to 1.67 work fine, but pxelinux 1.70 and 1.71 don't. When it fails it shows this on the screen Intel Base-Code, PXE-2.1 (build 083) [loading kernel etc] Loading ready. Failed to free base memory, sorry...

I have released SYSLINUX 2.04, mostly to address the 2.03 MEMDISK bug. At the same time I'm getting the PXELINUX blksize and SYSLINUX installer changes out there, which hopefully is a good thing. New release mostly to address the MEMDISK corruption issue. Changes in 2.04: * ALL: Reclaim even more low memory by observing that comboot_seg == real_mode_seg is perfectly fine,

Hi All, I am still having troubling with PXE. Thanks for replying Shao.I did follow ur suggestions and my results have improved a bit.From Ethereal and TCPdump, I can see that the client sucessfully dowloads the file pxelinux.0 from the server but stops at this point. here is the output of tcpdump tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 11:05:41.966864 IP

I tracked down the source of the "invalid kernel image" in 1.73 -- it turns out that in two different places I was accessing word-sized variables as dwords :( Consequently, SYSLINUX would reject valid kernels. PXELINUX/ISOLINUX are unaffected. Thus, SYSLINUX 1.74 is out. Expect a 1.75-pre1 quite soon. I'm working on a rewrite using 32-bit code from the very beginning, which

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

Hi all, I have just released Syslinux 3.83. Special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time on this. It is somewhat of a meager release despite four months, as most of the work has gone into the future-work branches. -hpa Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. *

Syslinux 4.01 is a bug fix release for 4.00, but also includes the new experimental lua interpreter, as well as the ifplop module. Changes in 4.01: * ISOLINUX: fix initialization on systems which don't zero low memory. * SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX: fix handing of disk read retries in EDD mode. * ISOLINUX: change the initialization sequence to avoid

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.82 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.82 is a bug fix release for 3.81. Changes in 3.82: * isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition. * ISOLINUX: deal with systems which return from INT 13h with interrupts

Syslinux 4.02 is a bug fix release, but also adds an experimental new Win64 installer (syslinux64.exe), extends the new syslinux installer CLI to all the installers. Changes in 4.02: * SYSLINUX: correctly handle the case where the -d option is specified with a non-absolute path, i.e. "syslinux -d syslinux" instead of "syslinux -d /syslinux".
