Only to inform that I've just released the version 1.2 of makebootfat. makebootfat is a GPL command line utility able to create bootable USB disks for Linux and Windows using the FAT filesystem and syslinux. As far I know it's the most advanced tool available able to make bootable USB disks. It's able to autodetect/partition/format/populate the USB disk in a single step without any

Well, with this simple patch I'm able to load initrd from a different disk. It's not finished, it's just to ask you if I'm going in the right direction... I have also some suggestion/question: - many boot sector I saw use [bp+xx] addressing to gain some bytes. Why don't you use such method? - had syslinux been tested with usb floppy? You test dl however using usb floppy dl ==

With the new 3.01 and 3.07 version I found a big slowdown booting from USB devices. On my PC it takes more than 2 minutes to load the kernel and the initrd filesystem. Compared with the previous behaviour of syslinux 2.13 with takes only 10 seconds or little more. The BIOS boots in FDD mode (DriveNumber variable is 0). I've also tried to disable the EDD support in the source. But the boot

I have some users reporting problems creating isolinux bootable DVD bigger than 2 GB in Windows. The resulting DVD doesn't boot. I've found this problem also mentioned in some forums, but I wasn't able to find a mkisofs binary for Windows without this bug. Please note that this isn't a problem of isolinux. Creating the same DVD with a recent mkisofs in Linux results in a

Attempts to load *.lkrn images were failing with "Not enough memory to load specified image". These images have the su_ramdisk_max header field set to zero, and the code in core/runkernel.inc was limiting MyHighMemSize too early (before the load_high call used to load the main part of the kernel).

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

Hi, in syslinux-386, I think I've found a problem in com32/lib/syslinux/load_linux.c that leads to cmdline being truncated unnecessarily when e.g. linux.c32 is used. The patch below fixes the problem for me. But I don't know, whether the patch is safe in all cases. I tried to reproduce the logic found in runkernel.inc, but I might have missed something. So, feel free to tell me

I'm working on getting the latest Linux distros working well on one of our prototype machines, however, some of them are failing to boot into the installer from the CD/DVD images. I've narrowed it down to isolinux hanging just before displaying the graphical menu. After a little bisecting between the last version that worked (3.73) and the first version which was broken (3.74), I found

This implements the label completion on tab key idea. It does introduce "labelcompl" as new config keyword. The default value is 0 so it does not change current behaviour. If you press tab with an empty command line it will display all labels. If the command line contains any characters it will display the matching labels. This patch is only intended for testing since i didn't check

I'm trying to build a bootable CD for an Advantech PCM-4153 board (based on an AMD Geode LX800) that will allow to boot from USB CD-ROM drive. I've created an ISO that will load ISOLINUX (3.51) and appears to load the kernel and initrd images, but reboots the system when it tries to run the kernel. When I use either isolinux.bin and isolinux-debug.bin, the last messages I see on screen
