similar to: Anyone tried SYSLINUX 2.05-pre2 yet?

Background: I recently wrote to Peter Anvin regarding IPAPPEND functionality, and he suggested I take the issue to this mailing list. I see it has been touched upon several times, after reviewing the archives. Let me see if I can add to it with a good level of detail: When using PXE to network boot a linux client, PXE must first acquire the client's IP address, by dhcp request, then, the

I've been using syslinux on my own Linux recovery CDs for almost a year now, and in that time I've found it useful to be able to automatically load a 64-bit-capable kernel if the CPU supports it. I'd like to share my efforts and submit this patch for syslinux-3.31. It adds a new config file keyword, 'default64', which overrides the default image if a 64-bit CPU is detected.

Hi, These patches contain support for some features that are already in Syslinux 4 but weren't working properly on the elflink branch. It's another step closer to feature parity with Syslinux 4. Having to jump through the comboot API for localboot support is less than ideal and I'll eventually fix that, probably when we move a big chunk of code from asm to C. Also, there's a

hi I have download the syslinux-3.51 source package and i have tried to compile syslinux with MinGw. I got the following error message. *********************************************************************** $ make nasm -O99 -f bin -DDATE_STR="'0x47bd5366'" -DHEXDATE="0x47bd5366" \ -DMAP=isolinux.map -l isolinux.lst -o isolinux.bin isolinux.asm

I found that the version of isolinux.bin (and the debug version too) doesn't work on my Via C3 system. I get the SAY text, but never the boot: prompt. C-A-Del doesn't reboot either. The debug version does not print anything after announcing it's opening the config file. Only the single SAY text follows. The cursor sits on the next blank line, useless (no responses to key presses).

Hi, I just replaced the pxelinux.0 of some 2.x version by pxelinux.0 vers. 3.0.7. Some of the PXE Clients refused to boot thereafter (just stopped after reading the config file). I noticed that the APPEND line was too long. Is this intentional? What is the maximum length of the APPEND option line? Thanks, Thomas

The new directive doesn't seem to work here.

I agree I have not seen any H264 streaming info for icecast2. If you are however interested in using ogg/vorbis (Theora) look up Theora Streaming Studio in the Theora Cookbook and it will give you some info. Additionally if you wish to script this task you can look up the info on the three commands TSS wraps, specifically dvgrab/ffmpeg2theora/oggfwd. if your source file is in a h264 medium you

Hi, I have a Xen server running OpenSuSE 10.2, with Xen version 3.0.3_11774. It''s happily hosting two DomU''s running the same OS / kernel. Now I tried to create a new DomU running a newer OS - OpenSuSE 11.1. It comes with Xen version 3.3.1_18494_03. Unfortunately for me, it doesn''t work - this is what I get: > xen1:/etc/xen/vm # xm create NEW > Using config file

Hi all, I just compiled an installed the Xen Hypervisor, Tools and a new Kernel from the 3.1 source. The dom0 is running without problem and the xm seems to work fine, too (tried xm info, xm list, xm dmesg). Unforunately on creation of a domU I always get an error using a config file and a domU image that is definitley working (at least with 3.0.4): Using config file

Greetings all, Sorry, resending this with the attachment inline. First of all, a disclaimer: Please forgive my horrible assembly code. This is just a quick munging of code to achieve x86 versus x86_64 detection within pxelinux. So please look at it as a proof of concept and not a real piece of code. :) For example it only works on pxelinux and has no thought for extending it beyond simple x86

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre9. The only change versus 3.00-pre8 is that the MEMDISK query API now reports the boot loader ID byte, per Bernd's suggestion. This is a release candidate, and I plan to release it as 3.00 *tomorrow*, unless I hear back anything bad. -hpa
