similar to: SYSLINUX 2.00-pre1 released

Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk destabilizing the 2.07 release for: Changes in 2.08: * Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

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 folks, Syslinux 5.00 is out in time for the holidays. This release includes a lot of changes from 4.06. I've included the NEWS entries below, which highlight the major changes. Lots of assembly code has been rewritten in C, which makes further development much easier (and also really helped for the 'firmware' abstraction that appears in Syslinux-6.00-pre1). So be on the lookout

Okay, I have finally become convinced that hardware address based config files should be a standard feature in PXELINUX, so I have added it. I am a bit worried that it might not work with all DHCP servers (since I'm trying to do this in a hardware-independent manner), so I'd appreciate feedback. This adds one more name to the list of names queried for the config file, before the IP-based

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

I've just pushed out a 6.00-pre1 release. This release includes support for booting EFI machines. The code is currently in the alpha stage. Having said that, you should expect most things to work correctly, including things like the graphical menu. Please help test if you can, and if you find any bugs, please report them. To facilitate building different versions of syslinux.efi (32-bit and

Folks, I've just pushed out another prerelease for the 5.00 branch. The idea behind this -pre was to merge in the final 4.06 release. I'm aiming for a final 5.00 release next week, but as we saw with the 4.06 branch, anything can happen and these deadlines can get pushed backwards. Please, test if you can. One thing that is going to happen next week is a Syslinux-6.00-pre1, which will

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.12-pre1. This version has an initial version of libcom32, a small C library based on klibc for writing com32 programs in C. It is far from perfect yet, but it should be a lot easier to use than hand-coding everything. As usual, find this stuff in: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

It's pretty much the same as 2.08-pre11. 2.08 mostly a collection of minor enhancements. Changes in 2.08: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is not

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

Hi all, I have released syslinux-3.10-pre1. This is definitely not a release candidate; I haven't finished putting the bugs in yet never mind taking them out (or in manager-speak: it's not feature-complete yet, never mind debugged.) However, I figured it'd be interesting as a technology preview. The main new things are that I am adding support for dynamic initramfs

I have pushed out a 3.02-pre1 release of SYSLINUX, which has the BLKGETSIZE64 patch, plus a few other things: Changes in 3.02 (so far): * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case

>No, but you can write a comboot/com32 module to do it if you wish. I meant for syslinux.exe/com (the installer). that BIOS issue is now handled in the driver the author wrote. Unfortunately I can't find another cdrom which boots but lets me access A: to really demonstrate it's the BIOS which is doing this. Every non-emulation cdrom either uses isolinux (even ReactOS bootloader) or

Changes in 3.10: * gcc 4.0.1 compilation fixes. * Add support for querying the PCI BIOS in libcom32 (used by ethersel et al.) * Fix PCI handing (ethersel etc) on several old chipsets (and VMWare.) * Try to deal with systems with broken EBIOS. * New API call to do "localboot". * New API call to query features.

Changes in 3.11: * MEMDISK: Fix bug by which accessing the real floppy disk as B: in MS-DOS was broken. * Simple menu system: allow tweaking of the screen layout. * Simple menu system: better command-line editing, correctly handle command lines above 256 characters. * PXELINUX: revert memory allocation change that caused problems

After way too long, a new production release of Syslinux is finally available. Syslinux 4.04 is primarily a bug fix release, but with some new features. Changes in 4.04: * PXELINUX: Fix handling of unqualified DNS names. * PXELINUX: Fix timer bug when PXELINUX might be unloaded (Gene Cumm). * core/writedec.inc: Fix duplicate declaration and overflow
