similar to: SYSLINUX 2.06-pre2

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

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72-pre2. It has a rather cool new feature: a hack to ISOLINUX to create a single image which can be booted either from CD-ROM or from what BIOS considers a hard disk medium (USB keys, etc.) -hpa

I have released a SYSLINUX 2.06-pre3. This includes modifications to ppmtolss16 so that it should now be completely compliant with all modes of the PNM specification, raw/plain, PBM/PGM/PPM, with comment lines or without. ftp://ftp.zytor.com/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out ASAP if at all possible. Since the fixes for -pre1 and -pre2 were pretty essential, I'd like

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

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:

It appears that increasing the command line limit to 1023 caused the .bss memory area to overflow. Unfortunately NASM didn't detect this as it ought to have and therefore I didn't catch it as an error. I have dropped the command line limit to 511 characters and released it as 3.09-pre2. This is a release candidate; please test it out and if it works I'll make it 3.09. -hpa

This version adds some workarounds to ISOLINUX for a few broken El Torito BIOSes that have been reported to me. Since I don't have access to these systems myself I don't know if it will help or not (or even if I broke some other workarounds by mistake...) Please try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, It has been the case for quite a while that the master tree is unambiguously better than 6.03. I have thus tagged and pushed out a syslinux-6.04-pre2 release, however, due to the issues with continuing to keep the main archive on kernel.org, I have moved the release archive to: https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/ Other than the URL, there is no difference from the kernel.org archive.

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre2. This prerelease adds support for the fact that the ACPI 3 definition changes the E820 memory detection spec in an incompatible(!!!) manner. Please test it out, as I'd really like to push a 3.73 out as soon as possible. -hpa

I just pushed out Syslinux 3.86-pre2. Absolutely last call for Syslinux 3.86. -hpa

Thanks. Any chance to update the changelog as well. The NEWS file in the archive over at https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ only lists changes for 6.03 On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 5:08 PM H.

Hi all, If you are one of the ones who has had problems with 2.10 but not with 2.09; especially for SYSLINUX (as opposed to PXELINUX/ISOLINUX), please try out 2.11-pre2 and let me know if it works or not: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
