similar to: SYSLINUX 2.08-pre1 released

I have a small problem with my COM32 image. It is more related to how the COM32 images get their arguments. Here are the relavent parts of my isolinux.cfg ----- # default image = defimg default defimg # Boot automatically after 5 seconds timeout 50 # By default auto select image. If no autoselect list # found, then boot into prep label defimg kernel readker.c32 append prep

I just found a rather embarrassing bug in PXELINUX -- and what's worse -- I wrote an email about it and killed it off accidentally :-/ It appears PXELINUX doesn't free its internal socket buffers (it has 32 of them) when it gets an error reply from the server, including "file not found." This means it will eventually run out of sockets and "go deaf." This

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

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

I'm installing syslinux on an embedded board that will only be reachable via boat+hike or helicopter. This will be a somewhat experimental platform, so I can't make a read-only filesystem on CF. What I'd like is to have two root filesystems on a CF card, one that is a read-only "fail-safe", and a 2nd that is the "normal" system I experiment with. What I'm

Hi. I want to use PXELinux to build a dynamic boot menu for a computer lab. Sometimes, the machines need to be in Linux mode/Windows mode/allow the option of Linux/Windows. I configured this all fine with PXELinux. My problem is really one of security. Someone can plug in a laptop with a DHCP server, and tftp server and fake a lab machine to boot into any mode they desire, or even

As far as I know the only thing close to that, is to boot DOS from a floppy image (stored on the CD). The floppy image will contain the CD drivers and hence you can use DOS to access the contents of the CD. The floppy image is usually stored in the "boot sector" of the CD, or if you are using utilities like ISOLINUX, then they can be stored on the CD, and ISOLINUX/memdisk can boot

So I have a few questions. I have already made the base part of making a windows TFTPD running with memedisk. So that part works, but what I was wondering, if there is a way to some how add an option to the config file. What I have is something like this: label winstall kernel unattended/memdisk append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz That all works great, However, for each image, I have

Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe #

Hey folks, I'm trying to install a sort of weird app with wine and having issues. In Winblows, the command I'm trying to run looks like this: "\\mappednetworkdrivepath\aproposinstall\Winstall\Winstl32.exe \\mappednetworkdrivepath\aproposinstall\winstall\apr6x_LocalLinkClients.lst /NoNetwork" I've tried different combinations with wine unsuccessfully. The winstaller cannot

It seems that quite a bit of stuff built up very quickly after the 2.07 release: Changes from 2.07 to 2.08-pre6: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of R - 1040. I'm doing the project of converting CATREG - a statistical software writen in S Plus to R. However, when I copied my R codes to the 1040 bin directory and resource my codes, I got the following error message, this never happened in my 1030 or 1010 versions of R. Anyone one know what's wrong with 1040? THanks CHarlie Liu EPA/ECO

Especially with Murali's stuff the question about how to handle contrib stuff that isn't part of the syslinux core has come up again. I think it's necessary to make it clear that it's not part of my stuff to keep the support load under control. I see a couple of possibilities: a) Inclusion with the syslinux source in a contrib/ directory, with subdirectories for different

Morning all, I have a HP Envy dual boot system (Win8 for serious stuff, i.e. Train Sim and Flight Sim) and Centos 7 for everything else. In the past I've had the occasional problem where an update on the windows side has updated the UEFI boot sequence but using efibootmgr has always fixed it. On Friday I discovered that my HDD was failing so I tried using Clonezilla to move it on to a new

All of the following is still under the Centos 7 KDE Live CD: If I mount /dev/sda2 on /media and have a look, this is the valid EFI filesystem, including the Fedora and Centos entries. If I try to mount /dev/sda6 on /media it looks to be a valid /boot filesystem. If I mount /dev/sda6 as /boot and mount /dev/sda2 as /boot/efi before running Jim's efibootmgr command will I fix the problem

I mentioned in a private email recently that it would be useful if syslinux had a malloc implementation.
