similar to: SYSLINUX 2.08-pre10

I have released SYSLINUX 2.08-pre11. It is the same as 2.08-pre10 except I have added logical partition support to the chainbooting module (still no partition hiding or anything like that.) Unfortunately I have no way to test this at the moment, so I thought I'd release a -pre11 and see if someone was willing to take it for a spin.

Hi, I'm new to the list. I've replaced grub by extlinux to multi boot my system. Now, I can't manage to boot one of my systems. I have 5 hard drives, 3 of them being part of a raid0 array, and one of them being here for backup purposes (can be removed). So the total 'logical' drives number is 2. First drive: - primary partition holding a rescue Windows XP system (ntfs) -

Okay, the serial port feature in 3.11-pre9 was of course completely broken (I seem to have bad luck with -pre9's :)... a 3.11-pre10 is now available, and it does seem to have a more reliable handling of arrow keys ... *but not perfect*. There simply is no way to reliably detect both [Esc] and arrow keys on existing serial consoles. -hpa

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

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

I know everyone is itching to test out another prerelease, and there's been quite a lot of activity since the last one. The shortlog is appended below. The feedback from testing the previous prereleases has been really constructive, so thanks to everyone for that. That feedback has been addressed in some of the commits listed below, but it's not all bug fixes, we've also got some new

This version fixes a couple of bugs in ISOLINUX related to filename parsing against -pre9. PLEASE test it out, especially if you're using PXELINUX and have had machines on which PXELINUX doesn't boot, as I'm hopefully going to release it as 2.00 in the next couple of days. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I really hope to God this is the last prerelease of SYSLINUX 3.00... I have added code to isolinux to give a pointer to SBM, but in order for it to fit I had to reorganize sector 0 slightly. Therefore, I decided it called for another prerelease (sigh.) Other changes versus -pre9 is fixing the Makefile and specfile so the RPM builds, fixing up mkdiskimage and adding a README about how to deal

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu) I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...

I wrote a new module "whichsys.c32" which detemines which command to execute, based on the Syslinux bootloader variant. In the near future it should/can be replaced by a lua script. But for people who want small binaries: whichsys.c32 is +/- eighty times smaller than lua.c32, atm. Usage: whichsys.c32 [-iso- command] [-pxe- command] [-sys- command] Examples: whichsys.c32 -iso-

Hi all! Doing some tests with CentOS 5.5 on a KVM virtual machine, after doing the installation, I added a second disk. But when trying to boot from it, I get the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------- root (hd1,0) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist --------------------------------------------------------------------- The two disks are

Hi folks, There are enough changes on the 'firmware' branch to warrant another prerelease. Things that jump out are the changes to update the current working directory when executing syslinux.efi (previously .c32 failed to load if installed to a non-standard directory such as /boot/syslinux, because the current working directory wasn't correct), the realloc() fix from Shao and a new

I have released 3.08-pre10, which includes a version of 'raw' support which should work when the CPU is in big real mode (called 'bigraw', appropriately enough.) Note that it will ALWAYS put DS and ES in big mode; there isn't any really sane way to test if they should be or not. -hpa

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre10. This fixes some pretty serious bugs, including the fact that, apparently, isohybrid didn't work at all in CBIOS mode. Unfortunately it means that the isohybrid handover protocol has changed, and so a new isolinux.bin isn't compatible with an old isohybrid or vice versa (as a result, the magic number has changed.) -hpa

I have put out a 2.07-pre10; this version recognizes vendor-encapsulated (a.k.a. vendor-option-space) PXELINUX options as well as unencapsulated (a.k.a. site-option-space) PXELINUX options. Please try it out... I'd like to release 2.07 no later than Monday. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

hi, i've tested with 2 version of awdflash and uniflash: here the results: it only worked with freedos, not with win98 dos; with win98 the images were not bootable; but that does not matter; freedos is ok. awdflash 8.27.45: flash ok awdflash 8.27.41 (uses protected mode): flash ok uniflash 1.40: when starting flashing the program freeze. awdflash 8.27.45 never worked before so i think this

I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre10 with the fix for Arwin's bug. Still no idea about the bug reported by Curtis Doty. Pending issues before 3.10: - Need for forward-port EBIOS changes from SYSLINUX to EXTLINUX; - Verify EXTLINUX functionality on Supermicro systems; - Try to make some head or tail out of menu.c32 hang, if at all possible; - NOESCAPE. - Curtis' bug (garbage at end of
