com16/com32 module for APM powerdown

Hello, In case anyone is interested, here are the source code for comboot and com32 modules for powering down a computer using APM. I started work on the ACPI version of it, but it will take some time to parse the spec.

boot 32 or 64 kernel depending on cpu

Hello, The attached l32or64.c implements a com32 module that boots two different kernels with different initrds depending on whether the cpu has long mode support or not. I stumbled upon two problems while developing it with current git version (last commit 595705ffad4f63cfeb84e9bb1243df03808c2fff). The first was that syslinux_boot_linux didn't work for me. Both the command line and initrd

strverscmp, scandir, alphasort and versionsort

Hello, These are implementations of strverscmp, scandir, alphasort and versionsort, and some test cases for them. I know these aren't in POSIX, but they're useful, nonetheless, and someone else might be interested in them.

bug in com32/modules/chain.c

Hello, The main function in com32/modules/chain.c does a lot of argument parsing, finding the drivename, partition, seg, etc., for two statements nullifying most of the work: drivename = argv[1]; partition = argv[2]; /* Possibly null */ Seeing as the function initializes the variables correctly at the beginning: drivename = "boot"; partition = NULL; shouldn't these

bug in ifcpu64 if !pae and only two options?

Hello, ifcpu64.c has the following comment: * append boot_kernel_64 [-- boot_kernel_32pae] -- boot_kernel_32 Also in NEWS: (and optionally 32-bit kernels with or without PAE.) However, if one doesn't specify boot_kernel_32pae but only boot_kernel_64 and boot_kernel_32, and if the CPU doesn't have support for PAE, args[2] will be executed unconditionally, with no check for if

vesamenu.c32 broken? blame F10?

Hello, vesamenu.c32 from syslinux-3.75.tar.bz2 is broken in my tests with: - qemu 0.9.1 -cdrom iso_image - qemu 0.9.1 -cdrom iso_image -std-vga - virtualbox 2.2.0 (Sun version) It blocks right after showing the copyright notice.

drdb fails under xen

Under xen, either stock xen-2.0.1+linux-2.6.9 or Fedora''s latest (2.6.10-1.1109_FC4), drdb (<http://www.drbd.org/>),as soon as I try to write to one of its devices, causes "Badness" in the kernel and, ultimately, a spontaneous reboot. Under non-xen 2.6.10-1.1109_FC4 and 2.6.9-1.678_FC3, drbd works fine. The error: Jan 25 21:01:23 turing kernel: Badness in blk_plug_device

ramfs to tmpfs

Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have

Hello, Could we have an update of the status of Syslinux entry in Google's Summer of Code? A list of accepted projects would suffice. Thanks, Luciano Rocha -- lfr 0/0
