Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

Hi, I have the pre4-Version installed since today morning, and it's working fine so far. I have some quetion about it: How can I create a boot-Picture for the PXE-Stuff with Wi****s-Tools for example Paintshop Pro 5.03 ?? I already tried to load one of the Examples and saving the modified Pic back but it didn't work. I would love to have a blue background with white letters and red

Hi,, I wud just like to inform that the previous issue of memdisk not booting compressed images still persists !! The release 2.05 that was supposed to fix this issue dint yet solve the problem !! Please, let me know if more info on the problem is required !! Bye, Jassi >From: syslinux-request at zytor.com >Reply-To: syslinux at zytor.com >To: syslinux at zytor.com >Subject:

hi i'm about to upgrade systems. yesterday i got https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/syslinux-6.04-pre3.tar.xz in order to upgrade 6.04-pre1 version. i first was upgrading a usb-disk which was booting smootly with a simple configuration. i changed the EFI installation in /EFI/BOOT: efi64/efi/syslinux.efi (UEFI bootloader for EFI X64 (x86_64) firmware) ?

Would there be memdisk or a similar program/methode to emulate a cdrom

This version has the following changes: - It adds a MEMDISK installation check API (as Murali asked for) - It renames TIMEOUTCMD to ONTIMEOUT. I decided "ontimeout" was the best alternative, especially since I'm going to try to implement Murali's suggested "onerror", and it seemed to work well in combination. As usual,

Hi all, Since it seems 2.03-pre3 solves some significant problems for people, I'm going to release it as 2.03 some time later in the week. I would *greatly* appreciate people testing it before then. Thanks, -hpa

When trying to make the last version I'm getting this error (#./configure --prefix=/some/dir); #make): ============================ gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/openssl/include -DPKGLIBDIR=/usr/local/tinc_new/lib /tinc -DCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/tinc_new/etc\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local /tinc_new/share/locale\" -DLOCALSTATEDIR=\"/usr/local/tinc_new/var\" -o tincd

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/

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre4, which is now a release candidate for 3.81. This version includes halt on idle, and so I'm very keen on getting this tested. -hpa

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,

As far as I know the only thing close to that, is to boot DOS from a floppy image (stored on the CD). The floppy image will contain the CD drivers and hence you can use DOS to access the contents of the CD. The floppy image is usually stored in the "boot sector" of the CD, or if you are using utilities like ISOLINUX, then they can be stored on the CD, and ISOLINUX/memdisk can boot

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.36-pre4; the main difference is a rewritten MBR which can boot from logical partitions. I plan to eventually submit that to be added into (s)fdisk in util-linux. -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre4, which is a release candidate for 1.75. Please pretty please test it out: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I'm working on some new stuff, basically COMBOOT+an API+32-bit support, which should make doing things like menus and other UI features very easy as separate modules. When that gets finished I'll probably

Yep, -pre4. I've had a massive cleanup urge and have been doing things like actually move common variables into the .inc files where they belong. This also means NASM 0.98.38 is absolutely required, since it uses those new features extensively. This release also contains code to compress label statements in memory, although it's not actually turned on yet. Once turned on it should

Okay, I have released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre4. This integrates Joel's MBR-writing patch into the Win32 loader; modified to a fair extent by me. God, the Windows API is uglier than hell. This will definitely be the last prerelease for a while, since I'm about to leave for the airport for the holidays. When I come back I plan to release 3.00, so please try it out and yell if there are

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4. I have deferred the gPXE integration branch to a later release, since it looks like the gPXE folks are stalled on their end. Highly unfortunately, because it's cool stuff. What I *do* have, however, is support for a small amount of storage in the boot loader -- currently only implemented for EXTLINUX, but the infrastructure is there for all of

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.61-pre4, and am declaring it a release candidate. The intent is for 3.61 to be a bugfix-only release, with the one exception that I couldn't resist shaving off an additional few bytes off mbr.bin (36 bytes free now.) If I have missed any bug reports, please holler now. Otherwise I'd like to release 3.61 final in a couple of days. -hpa
