similar to: SYSLINUX 2.09-pre15

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. 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. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

I just picked up 3.10-pre15 and the "PXELINUX corrupts graphic filename referenced from DISPLAY file" bug is zapped. Yipee! Thanks hpa. And Arwin too, if that 'xor esi,esi' was the crux. However, LOCALBOOT -1 and LOCALBOOT 0 don't work the same as they did for me in 3.07. :-( 3.07: LOCALBOOT -1 apears to work as I have a hard disk listed in bios boot order after the

Okay, I have found a workaround for the build problem that affected -pre13 and -pre14, and as a side bonus I have pulled a couple of fixes, including Sebastian's latest gfxboot updates. -hpa

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.71-pre15. This version officially begins the release candidate stage of SYSLINUX 3.71. To be honest, I'm a bit baffled that the numbers got that high for what has always been intended as a maintenance/bugfix release, but those 15 prereleases only correspond to 55 commits total, so I guess it's really not that much. -hpa

Hello all, I have done more work on the syslinux shuffle library. This is more higher-level work, in particular it is specific to loading Linux kernels. This stuff allows manipulating initramfs on the fly, if desired. As a demo, I have written up a module which loads a Linux kernel with all the usual stuff, but optionally adds the DHCP packet from the PXE stack into a file named

Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix. Do you still want to see the output in order to check everything is OK, or you don't need it ? --------------------- Sylvain Faivre EdifiXio - AIH Team +33 1 56 90 51 24 www.edifixio.com > -----Message d'origine----- > De : H.

Hi all, With the help of Michael Brown I have root-caused the crash that I had running Syslinux 4.10 under iPXE to a bug in a specific iPXE driver, sky2. As such, I am hereby promoting Syslinux 4.10 to the stabilization track. One important bit which is still not there is to fix sanboot.c32 so that it can switch to an iPXE/gPXE SAN I'm still unclear if gpxelinux.0 should be removed or

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/

Hi, I have a problem to report with the 4.10-pre15 branch. The problem is that my KVM guest "just reboots" when booting off the network. The setup is as follows: Host OS: RHEL 6.0/RHEL 6.1 with the default packages (no additional repos or packages) KVM guest configured to network boot. (maybe irrelevant info ...) ?!? DHCP server (using dnsmasq) in the same subnet as the KVM host.

Changes in 3.73: * Upgrade gPXE to release version 0.9.5. * Fix a number of build errors on various platforms. * Handle systems with E820 "extended attributes" per ACPI 3. Someone "cleverly" decided to change the E820 spec in a backwards-incompatible manner! * MEMDISK: default to "safeint". * Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", standard

Changes in 3.61: * EXTLINUX: fix crash when accessing an empty file. * elf.c32: If a PHDR segment is present, load it. * Fix SHA-1 and MD5 passwords. * ISOLINUX: fix booting when mastered without mkisofs -boot-info-table (broken since 3.50, sigh...) * Handle BIOSes which emit multiple contiguous valid memory regions in the e820 map.

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

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre2. This prerelease adds support for the fact that the ACPI 3 definition changes the E820 memory detection spec in an incompatible(!!!) manner. Please test it out, as I'd really like to push a 3.73 out as soon as possible. -hpa

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre7; the only delta over -pre6 is a small change to meminfo.c32. I expect to make a 3.81 release probably early next week, so this is a last call notice. If you have any outstanding issues, or you have tests you want to do and want some more time (Dag - I know you said you were going to try to do some tests over the weekend), please speak up *now*. -hpa

HPA, I believe I've found a possible bug with /menu. This against the unmodified -pre5 snapshot. SRC: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.c COMPILED: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.com It's easiest explained if you just compile the .c and experience it for yourself, anyways. If you have two submenus nested within each other and then call a third menu it will bring up the

I have released SYSLINUX 2.04, mostly to address the 2.03 MEMDISK bug. At the same time I'm getting the PXELINUX blksize and SYSLINUX installer changes out there, which hopefully is a good thing. New release mostly to address the MEMDISK corruption issue. Changes in 2.04: * ALL: Reclaim even more low memory by observing that comboot_seg == real_mode_seg is perfectly fine,

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*

All, Thanks for all your help. Now, I can compile the latest source code base on RedHat 5.5 after update nasm(to 2.09) and binutil(2.17). And *make spotless* before *make* under core/ directory. But with the new pxelinux.0, the PXEClient can not bootup. The error info, No valid file system found! And stuck in there. I think maybe the gcc cause the problem. My gcc version is 4.1.2. Thanks aaron

Well, SYSLINUX 3.50 has been in development since September of last year (it was originally a branch off 3.31), and the diff against 3.36 is almost 15,000 lines. I doubt it's going to be bug free, but prereleases can only get you so far with respect to testing. Thus, it's time to push the button and getting this thing out into the world. I hereby announce SYSLINUX 3.50. Special thanks

It appears that the 3.74 completely broke the "keeppxe" directive -- not due to the command-line parser, but due to mishandling of the flag later. I consider this to be severe enough to do a short-cycle 3.75. As a result, I would like help with: a) are there any other bugs that snuck through? b) once I have a 3.75-pre1, I would really appreciate help testing it. The goal is to have
