Hi! using ppmtolss16 tool from syslinux-2.04 with an input .pnm file created with gimp 1.2.3, I bumbed into the following error: [root at azur syslinux-2.04]# ./ppmtolss16 < /home/sr/try.pnm > /tmp/t ./ppmtolss16: Input format error 1 [root at azur syslinux-2.04]# The problem is that gimp adds the comment # CREATOR: The GIMP's PNM Filter Version 1.0 at 2nd line. Suggested fix for

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom logo for syslinux but keep bumping my head on the conversion to LSS16. The sample syslogo.png works fine so I decided to start with a known quantity by loading it into the Gimp. I cleared the canvas, color filled a blue background (0x000033) placed some yellow letters on the blue (0xffff00) and saved the file back out with the default compression. The

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16. It is giving following errors. for .jpg file: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. for .png files: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. from .ppm file: ( I converted .jpg file in to .ppm file using irfanview)

Hi , I am using syslinux-2.04. I used the isolinux boot loader, to create a customized boot cd. As an add on to that process, i thought of displaying the product logo in the bootup screen. So as the document suggested i went on to create the lss from png. But it failed with following message. $ ~archives/syslinux-2.04/ppmtolss16 < ipm-white.pnm > ipm-white.lss './ppmtolss16:

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

Commandline (under Debian): ./ppmtolss16 #FFFFFF=7 #000000=1 < missile2.ppm > splash.rle Permissions do allow execution. Script begins to execute, but seems to be reading in from the console, rather than from the file. I can enter all the whitespace I want, but after entering anything else, it complains about stdin not being a standard ppm file. So, the problem is in my command line...

Upon finding a different image conversion program, I have eliminated the Premature EOF problem that I had(apologies if I post this before the moderator approves my first post...you can ignore it if/when it shows up). Now, I am seeing the script complete with no error. I tested my syslinux.dpy file with the syslogo.lss file from the samples, and it's fine. The lss file I created, however,

I 've installed the syslinux on a opensuse10.2 system and also installed the nasm 0.98.0.39 version but how do I use the ppmtolss16 to create a custom display text to flash before the system boots.

Hi, Do you have instructions on how to create my own Graphical Splash Screen for use with SysLinux? -- Peace and Long Life, Matt

I have released a SYSLINUX 2.06-pre3. This includes modifications to ppmtolss16 so that it should now be completely compliant with all modes of the PNM specification, raw/plain, PBM/PGM/PPM, with comment lines or without. ftp://ftp.zytor.com/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out ASAP if at all possible. Since the fixes for -pre1 and -pre2 were pretty essential, I'd like

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

Well, it has to happen at some point, so I have officially pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72. The big news in this release is of course the ISOLINUX hybrid mode support (a single image which can be booted either from a CD-ROM or from a hard disk/USB stick), but there are plenty of more goodies in here, including the label listing (not technically completion) on the Tab key. As usual, huge thanks to

Hi, I get the error message isolinux: Disk error 01: AX=4200, drive 82 booting the new College Linux CD on my Dell GX100. What does this message mean, and what is the recommended workaround? Please cc me on any replies; I'm not subscribed to this list. Thank you for your help. --jkl

I tend to use the same tool-chain across various hosts so I made this very simple patch that allows you to pass the cross-compiler name to make ( e.g. make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-nptl-linux-gnu-). I'm not sure if patches should be attached or just pasted inline so I did both this time. BTW, it's relative to syslinux 4 but the same changes work with syslinux 3 although the patch won't

Hi.. I'm Jaspreet Oberoi and i'm new to this forum.. Actually i am using Bootscriptor to make multibootable cd's and it is using your 2.04 version of syslinux and memdisk.. What my problem is that when i boot any image i.e .img file which has a Win98 command.com it works alright but when i try to boot any image with a WinME command.com it just hangs on Loading .. then Starting....

Okay, what's the deal? How come ppmtolss16 always terminates with "Premature EOF"? A previous poster said he fixed it by using a different conversion routine, but that doesn't help me at all. In fact, it appears to me the problem is with perl 5.8, not the file. Characters vs. bytes? Another poster said adding "use bytes" to ppmtolss16 fixed the error. That may
