similar to: SYSLINUX 2.00-pre10 released

Hi everyone, Kevin Tran of Broadcom just identified a very serious bug in PXELINUX where random parts of the PXE stack would get overwritten by PXELINUX. As a result, I have release SYSLINUX 2.00-pre9 for testing; if you have had problems with PXELINUX **PLEASE** test this version. I will try to make a SYSLINUX 2.00 some time this week if this tests out OK. I will also hunt for similar bugs

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

Hello everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 3.63. The main update is a fix to EXTLINUX, which would get confused by directories with deleted file entries. Special thanks to Stas Kysel of rPath, Inc. for spotting this problem and giving me an excellent test case; and of course to rPath, Inc. in general for being my employer and being extremely supportive of my SYSLINUX work! I have also

I really hope to God this is the last prerelease of SYSLINUX 3.00... I have added code to isolinux to give a pointer to SBM, but in order for it to fit I had to reorganize sector 0 slightly. Therefore, I decided it called for another prerelease (sigh.) Other changes versus -pre9 is fixing the Makefile and specfile so the RPM builds, fixing up mkdiskimage and adding a README about how to deal

Okay, the serial port feature in 3.11-pre9 was of course completely broken (I seem to have bad luck with -pre9's :)... a 3.11-pre10 is now available, and it does seem to have a more reliable handling of arrow keys ... *but not perfect*. There simply is no way to reliably detect both [Esc] and arrow keys on existing serial consoles. -hpa

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

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. *

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

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 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

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

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

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

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".

Hi all, I have officially released SYSLINUX 3.20: Changes in 3.20: * EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility; a future version will require one of these options. * New library functions to load and place files in

3.80 is a bug fix and internal restructuring release. In particular, the entire shuffler subsystem has been rewritten largely from scratch, as has the Multiboot module. Changes in 3.80: * New shuffler mechanism and API. * Rewritten mboot.c32 module. * The syslinux_boot_linux() function has been simplified. * Don't hang trying to boot a "menu

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

I have put out a 2.07-pre10; this version recognizes vendor-encapsulated (a.k.a. vendor-option-space) PXELINUX options as well as unencapsulated (a.k.a. site-option-space) PXELINUX options. Please try it out... I'd like to release 2.07 no later than Monday. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
