similar to: ISOLINUX/COM32 Command line

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 someone address the boot once option. Is it to hard for syslinux to write a flag file to file system or the blank space after the mbr? .conf bootonce Lable /boot/flagfile or .conf bootonce Lable1 /boot/flagfileLable1 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 skip the default option if the flag file is 0 size. Write something to the

Does the COMBOOT stuff with 2.04 work correctly with function calls? or does one need to write it as one huge function? If memory serves me correctly, there was some problem if hello.c was modified to include additional functions, in an earlier version. - Murali

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali

I am new to 32-bit programming in DOS. So this might be a stupid question. How do I access an absolute memory location in my COM32 code. If I understand it correctly, all the memory addresses use virtual addresses. I need to write code to read an absolute location in memory Is it as simple as answer = *(unsigned char *)MK_PTR(seg,ofs) or does the fact that the COM32 code is runing using

Hello all, First off, thanks for the great work. I have recently added "more submenus" to a functioning advanced menu that only had one "submenu off of the main menu before" The addition of the new submenus has caused the main menu to not function correctly and I have been pouring over the code for several weeks and I just cannot see the error that I have introduced. This

This version contains a fix to mbr.asm, plus a version of Murali's menu system, but ported to gcc. Although gcc produces much bigger 16-bit code (since it's really 32-bit code with prefixes) I figured it would be much easier for people to deal with since it requires the configuration to be compiled in. That being said, it's a *very* powerful menu system, partially *because*

On the SysLinux page, there is a screenshot of "COMBOOT Menu System for SYSLINUX developed by Murali Krishnan Ganapathy" (Advanced Menu System). I was wondering where I might be able to download this menu system in full to work with? If you dont want to share, I understand, but I am really intrigued by this and want to learn more, and maybe make my own design if I can figure it out.

Hi, I tried to build a multiboot DVD and decided to integrate the SuSE Linux LiveDVD. For several reasons the easiest way (as far as I can see) to do this is to boot the isolinux of the SuSE DVD with the "main" isolinux on my multiboot DVD. I do not want to use SuSE's modified version as default boot loader for some reasons! I decided to do it as follows (correct me, if

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

It works! Now, is there a way to use this handler multiple times so different submenus can have different position values. -Aaron On Fri, 2 Apr 2004, ganapathy murali krishnan wrote: > You write your own menupos_handler (like in complex.c) and register the > handler. > > So all you need to do is to copy the code for the menupos_handler from > complex.c and modify it to suit

Look into the original XP cd and see where NTLDR is located, then place it on your cd in the same directory and it 'should' work. I have created some 2000 XP boot cd's with integrated recent service pack's and they still boot. But I do that with cdrecord+original boot sector, not with any isolinux stuff... But I hope this help! -----Original Message----- From: G. Murali

Thanks for the comment. The next pass for a file format ... ------ FILE BEGINS ----- # Comment lines [menu] item="text to display" status="status line text" action= SUBMENU | INACTIVE | whatever submenu= <number> data="arbitrary string" item="text to display" status="status line text" action= SUBMENU | INACTIVE | RUN | EXIT submenu=

Since lot of people want this thing, I will try to take a stab at it. For now, I will hard code the menu in the code, and then somebody else can remove that restriction. May be we can add some kind of keyword to the config file which syslinux ignores and the comboot menu does something with it. I have one question about comboot: If I write a DOS program using C (compiled using watcom -3 -mt -osx

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

Hello all, I plan to make an (emergency) multi OS bootable CD which contain: - Win98 boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - WinME boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - Linux boot disk - Win NT boot disk - Win 2000 recovery console - Win XP recovery console - Winternal Administrative Pak (ERD Commander etc) I am new to Linux and feel

Hi All, I hope to find some time to work on the Advanced menu system. I personally no longer have a need for it (changed jobs). Since I dont want to spend time doing stuff which will not be useful, I would to know what features you would like. What I have in my list are * Eliminate the need to compile each menu into its own .c32 file * Eliminate #define constants in menu.h which impose various

But the win wks on the other subnet is configured to use my SAMBASERVER as its WINS SERVER, and it is configured using the IP Adress of the SAMBASERVER and not the name. Shouldn't this do the trick? win wks is on a wireless subnet and hence runs at 11 MBPS, while the SAMBASERVER is on a wired subnet. I read somewhere that windows does some kind of "optimization" with slow networks.

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

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
