similar to: SYSLINUX 2.09-pre14 released, release candidate

I am using PXELINUX, ISOLINUX, and memdisk in my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). When memdisk gained support for compressed images, I started using it because it is cool. I used gzip to compress floppy.img to create floppy.imz, and all was good. But now my users are complaining that they cannot use WinImage (a Windows floppy image editing tool) to edit my floppy.imz files. I have

So it turns out that -pre13 was quite buggy after all. Once I started running the list of tests that I described in my email, a bunch of those bugs came to heed. Now I think I've fixed them, and so have released -pre14. I have also formally decided to call the final release 3.00 when it's ready. Between code base rewrite + EXTLINUX + libcom32 + simple menu, there is plenty of

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

Is it possible to chain isolinux and memdisk over pxelinux? If it's possible, I'd like to boot a CD Image over the network. I've been using pxelinux to boot ltsp for years, and recently upgraded to take advantage of memdisk for booting a DOS hd-image. Ideally I'd be able to boot a CD-Image. Thoughts? -- <:3)~ Michael T.

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

I'd say this is an excellent place to start. I'm getting some similar results here with the precompiled

Hi all, wasnt sure whether this was the best place to put this information; but something seems to have gone 'backwards' in the later pre-releases of 6.03 regarding network booting. below are results of me testing - i did each a few times to make sure they are valid results. hope it helps identify something that's gone awry ? so far, 6.03 pre11 and pre13 (excluding efi32) seem most

I have pushed out what I hope to be the last release candidate for Syslinux 4.04. Please test it if you have the chance as I would like to have 4.04 out as soon as possible. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Hello. I've been testing pxelinux.0 (4.04-pre14) on some laptops: - HP EliteBook 6930P with BIOS F.18. - HP EliteBook 8440P with BIOS F.06. - Dell Latitude E4310 with BIOS A06. When booting pxelinux.0, the machines first display some random letters in different colors and then reboot. We've been using 4.02 for some time without problems. I've tested 4.03 too and it seems to work.

I am hoping for some advice regarding another index problem. The code below is intended to assign a value of 'V' if values on certain variables are >= 1, assign a value of 'N' if values on certain variables are >= 1 on other variables and assign a 'O' if values on any variable which have a value <= 0. The outcome of this code is to assign a single

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

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

I'm running into an issue which I didn't expect to encounter. When specifying the "nopassany" parameter to hide physical drives, I'm getting different output from ELTORITO.SYS (v1.5, syslinux distro) such that it fails. My intent is a LiveCD functionality with a DOS RAMDISK program taking over as drive C:, meaning either no FAT partitions on harddisks and removable disks

With some help from Nathan Laredo, I cribbed my way though porting the Win32 installer on my own accord. Thus, I believe we now have something which can be called a release candidate. Given how much stuff managed to make it in, after all, I'm seriously considering calling it 3.00, but for now it's 2.20-pre13. So, everyone that can, please test it out. In particular, I have not yet

This is a minor tweak on 3.11-pre2. If nothing new comes up, I will release this as 3.11 probably early next week. -hpa

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,

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre11; the only difference is Murali's latest patches for the menu system, mostly to add the ability to add separators to the menus. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out. Some time over the weekend I'm going to do a sweep for bug fixes I've forgotten and otherwise I'd like to release 2.09 next
