similar to: SYSLINUX 2.09-pre11

Im trying to use newer simple-menu features, and have found that the following config-file (closely based on wiki pxelinux example) - fails for 3.62-pre11, - works for 3.62-pre10 where 'working' is successive reloads such that re-edits of file are seen on next reload and broken is issuing this error: Initial menu has no LABEL entries! boot: #>

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre11. This version hopefully should fix Curtis' bug (display file garbage) as well as the NOESCAPE problem. Curtis, Alex and Paul, could you try this version out, please? -hpa

This release includes Murali's menu positioning patch; it is otherwise identical to 2.09-pre13. I will release this as 2.09 on Sunday unless I hear objections. Note that I've effectively been out of the loop, moving houses, for almost a month, so if there is something I'm forgetting please tell me... -hpa

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 all, I have put out a SYSLINUX 2.09-pre1 release, mostly to support Murali's menu development: Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. As usual,

I ended up implementing the "totaltimeout" command per discussion on the SYSLINUX mailing list, and adjusted the timeout of the menu system accordingly. The necessary restructuring really wasn't too painful with judicious use of longjmp() and subroutines -- basically poor man's exception handling. Thus, I have released 3.11-pre11; barring no objections or problems I will

Hey folks, I was trying the complex menu from the lastest pxelinux 3.20-pre11. It did install a password file in the /isolinux/ of my tftpserver. Then I try to authentificate myself as user3 with as password I've been tranforming using sha1pass. When I select login, the screen blink and doesn't ask me anything. I reslect login, it ask me for a username. I give user3 and then my

This version contains a fix to mbr.asm, plus a version of Murali's menu system, but ported to gcc. Although gcc produces much bigger 16-bit code (since it's really 32-bit code with prefixes) I figured it would be much easier for people to deal with since it requires the configuration to be compiled in. That being said, it's a *very* powerful menu system, partially *because*

Another SYSLINUX prerelease (I really need to get this out the door...) with additional menu system improvements from Murali. Murali: I made some pretty sizable changes to heap.c. I hope that's ok with you. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ This is definitely a release candidate. Only bug fixes until 2.09 is out. -hpa

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

Tried both normal and debug images with Roxio 6 and Nero 6.6. Everything worked fine. Also tried cdrwin and ran into an interesting issue with it regarding it's support of image files >8k -- reported it to them. FYI, tried booting on 2 Intel and 2 Asus planars all reported no info returned in the spec packet. David >Okay, after a bit more research I ended up implementing this

Hi all, I have decided to declare 2.12-pre11 a release candidate. I'd appreciate any and all testing anyone can do on this version. Hopefully the "2.20" rewrite of the FAT-based SYSLINUX will come not too long thereafter. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Follow up, While awaiting my initial message to clear the moderator, as my company's Exchange server tacked on some bogus header, I downloaded version 3.08-pre11 (vs the 3.07 I was using). This newer version seems to work correctly. - Rick

This test release includes the Multiboot support from Tim Deegan, and increases the command line limit to 1023 characters. This is a 3.08 release candidate, so if you have a chance, please test it out. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I'm building extlinux on a rather limited linux system (LFS), bios version (no efi). Unfortunately, extlinux.txt does not contain any information related to build procedures and dependencies. python /sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/menugen.py --input=/sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/test2.menu --output=test2.c
