similar to: LAST CALL for SYSLINUX 2.03-preX test reports

Hi all, I have just released SYSLINUX 2.03-pre4; this is the same as SYSLINUX 2.03-pre3, except: a) I have -- I hope -- finally fixed the Perl scripts so they work in UTF-8 locales; b) MEMDISK now supports gzip compressed images. For those who have requested it... you should really thank me for the last one. It took quite a bit of work, mostly because I had to move the installer to be a

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

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre7; the only delta over -pre6 is a small change to meminfo.c32. I expect to make a 3.81 release probably early next week, so this is a last call notice. If you have any outstanding issues, or you have tests you want to do and want some more time (Dag - I know you said you were going to try to do some tests over the weekend), please speak up *now*. -hpa

Gene, it looks like the syslinux master branch is broken since February [1]. Peter created the wip.makefixes branch but I wasn't able to get it working (yet) and it lacks activity since March. I think it might be time to revert commit 458a54133ecd ("Fix all warnings, and better separate code that should not be mixed") which broke master. Then apply at least the outstanding patch

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!

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

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

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

I have decided to promote SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 to release candidate status. If it tests out OK, it will become 3.31 some time next week, probably. -hpa

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

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
