similar to: SYSLINUX 1.73-pre6 released

Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix. Do you still want to see the output in order to check everything is OK, or you don't need it ? --------------------- Sylvain Faivre EdifiXio - AIH Team +33 1 56 90 51 24 www.edifixio.com > -----Message d'origine----- > De : H.

I've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

Hi everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 2.00-pre6. The only difference against -pre5 is that I finally got around to fixing mbr.asm so that it produces a working MBR. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I will probably try to do a binary-only release of the COM32 port of newlib libc sometime this week. The only reason this will be a binary-only release is that the

Hi! as i know that you like test reports, here are some... Testing environment: CompactFlash card, connected with an USB adapter to a Compaq Evo D310 frontal USB port. This machine boots via USB quite well with syslinux. 3.09 boots ok, no problem 3.10-pre2 does not boot 3.10-pre3 does not boot 3.10-pre4 does not boot 3.10-pre5 locks up pc 3.10-pre6 locks up pc 3.10-pre7 writes

Hi! As for this matter, it got solved in 2.11, as I tested it yesterday. Sorry about the delay, but vacation got in the way ;) Cheers!

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if you have had problems with 3.35. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, It looks like the announcement about 2.08-pre6 never went out... it is 2.08-pre5 with Murali's "onerror" command added. -hpa

Yet another test release for the rewrite in progress. This version generalizes the definition of a boot sector, and puts the boot sector code into all the modules, so that a CD-ROM "boot sector" (like WinNT uses) and a PXE NBP should now all be possible to chainload. PLEASE test it out, pretty please... I haven't heard anything from anyone since at least 1.73-pre2.

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

I think the Syslinux 5.00 branch is now at the point where I believe it it is feature complete and should be able to replace the main Syslinux branch. As such, it is important that we get wider testing, and especially that people let us know if and where it breaks. As of right now, there aren't any known bugs...

I have patched up the boot-once support added in 3.60-pre4 so that I now feel that it should be pretty safe it won't get invoked by mistake (famous last words, I know.) I have also pulled in the man pages from the Debian project. Unfortunately some of them are pretty out of date; I have done a first pass of touching them up, but there is still a fair bit of work that could be done. For

HPA, I believe I've found a possible bug with /menu. This against the unmodified -pre5 snapshot. SRC: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.c COMPILED: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.com It's easiest explained if you just compile the .c and experience it for yourself, anyways. If you have two submenus nested within each other and then call a third menu it will bring up the

Most excellent! The pre-compiled syslinux6.03-pre6 binaries work great! I'm able to load syslinux.efi and all necessary support libs. I get my expected syslinux boot menu. I've used syslinux 5 / vesamenu for yrs (Legacy PXE boots). So I know my way around from here. Thanks Gene & Feri. And thanks Peter, for making me feel better -- it's the TFTP protocol that's bizarre, I

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

I have released SYSLINUX 2.06; it's basically identical to 2.06-pre4. I'm doing this now because the bug fixes are so major and because I am not sure I'll be around next week. -hpa 2.06 is a bug fix release. Changes in 2.06: * ALL: Fix problem that would occationally cause a boot failure, depending on the length of the kernel. * ISOLINUX: Fix problem

H Peter, I notice the Intel Boot Agent (in the BOOT ROM) takes a different approach. When TFTP loading the initial syslinux.efi. It receives the OACK with both options set -- tsize (of 145744) and blksize (of 1408). Apparently it has challenges parsing this "two option" OACK packet. But it remembers the tsize of 145744. So it issues another read request, this time requesting only a

Hello all, I just installed syslinux 2.10 on my usb-stick. It still boots then, but doesn't load initrd.gz (same config file..). Reverting back to syslinux 2.09 works fine, eg: initrd.gz is loaded. Something changed in initrd handling code? greetz, Jaap Crezee NB I am willing to share you more information or hints how to solve the problem. I am using kernel 2.6.7-bk20

Greetings, I have released SYSLINUX 2.05. It is almost identical to 2.05-pre4. I'm about to leave for a trip, so if there are any issues please let me know, but don't expect a response any time soon. -hpa 2.05 is mostly a bug fix/maintenance release. Changes in 2.05: * PXELINUX: Add a default query based on the hardware address of the boot device. This is in lower

Hi, just tried 1.73-pre6 pxelinux: - booting linux works - memdisk with 1.44M Dos image works - the 'kbdmap'-parameter fails: [..] Unknown keyword in config file. Missing parameter in config file. boot: - and it doesn't remap any keys. I tried 1.66 with the same config file and it works, it accepts 'kbdmap' and also remaps the keys. Regards, Josef
