similar to: SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2 is out

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*

When I try to compile the menu I got the following: gcc -m32 -funsigned-char -g -W -Wall -march=i386 -falign-functions=0 -falign-jumps=0 -falign-loops=0 -Os -MMD -S -o main.s main.c echo '.code16gcc' | cat - main.s > main.s16 as -o main.o16 main.s16 gcc -m32 -funsigned-char -g -W -Wall -march=i386 -falign-functions=0 -falign-jumps=0 -falign-loops=0 -Os -MMD -S -o biosio.s biosio.c

I have decided to make SYSLINUX 2.10-pre6 a release candidate. Please test it out if you can; if it works OK I will release it as 2.10 some time in the middle of the week. Thanks! -hpa

Hello all, I just installed syslinux 2.10 on my usb-stick. It still boots then, but doesn't load initrd.gz (same config file..). Reverting back to syslinux 2.09 works fine, eg: initrd.gz is loaded. Something changed in initrd handling code? greetz, Jaap Crezee NB I am willing to share you more information or hints how to solve the problem. I am using kernel 2.6.7-bk20

The menu directory won't compile with gcc 3.4.0 because gcc complains that "ebp" cannot be used as a constraint. If preserving ebp is necessary then it will have to be done in the assembler code. Gcc 3.3.3 just seems to ignore the constraint. It didn't do anything special to preserve the register. I also noticed that getnumrows returns the contents of 0x484 which is the

Hi, I'm sure this has been posted before. And I'm just wondering if anyone has ever implemented it. I just thought that this is really a nice feature for Syslinux.

Before we start accessing a huge (> 16 TiB) OCFS2 volume, we need to confirm that its journal supports 64-bit offsets. So we need to check the journal's feature bits before recovering the journal. This is not possible with JBD2 at present, because the journal superblock (where the feature bits reside) is not loaded from disk until the journal is recovered. This patch loads the journal

Dear Amy, I have the same question as Mark. Is it possible to work from abroad - remotely?

As part of adding support for OCFS2 to mount huge volumes, we need to check that the sector_t and page cache of the system are capable of addressing the entire volume. An identical check already appears in ext3 and ext4. This patch moves the addressability check into its own function in fs/libfs.c and modifies ext3 and ext4 to invoke it.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding building the Rmysql packages from source in Windows. I am currently using: Windows XP, R-2.2.0, Mysql 3.23 I have installed all of the tools from Installation and Administration and after following all the instructions to the letter, I compiled the binary and installed R 2.2.0 from source with no issues. This is the first time I have compiled the

Hi there, I'm following your list for several months, as we run a CTDB cluster of Samba gateways over our distributed filesystem. I decided to post my first message to resume an old thread (https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2016-October/204043.html), hoping to progress and reach some conclusion. Essentially, we observe and can reproduce issues when attempting to lock a given file

Hi all, If you are one of the ones who has had problems with 2.10 but not with 2.09; especially for SYSLINUX (as opposed to PXELINUX/ISOLINUX), please try out 2.11-pre2 and let me know if it works or not: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

It appears that increasing the command line limit to 1023 caused the .bss memory area to overflow. Unfortunately NASM didn't detect this as it ought to have and therefore I didn't catch it as an error. I have dropped the command line limit to 511 characters and released it as 3.09-pre2. This is a release candidate; please test it out and if it works I'll make it 3.09. -hpa

The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out. Gert was a great source of motivation for making that -pre2. He found many bugs and gave nice ideas. Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests. This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming syslinux 3.84. Since -pre1, here come the Changelog * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu

Hi all. I have had this apparently inconsistent behavior in smbclinet since, around 4.11.(6?). 4.11.0 seems fine. I am on fedora 31 so I have just been keeping smbclient at 4.11.0 but that is not an option in stock fedora 32 which I would like to use now. My main problem with it is that it seems to be stopping automount working on samba shares of Fed32 clients. Any suggestions welcome... This

The -pre2 release of HDT 0.3.5 is out. The changelog from the previous release is : - Adding pci.ids in the hdt.iso - Fixing misdetection of Syslinux & Grub MBRs - 'make hdt.img.gz' now generates a gzipped version of the floppy image - Fixing some typo - Adding & enhancing SMI detection - Resetting cursor position when exiting the menu mode - Inactive items are now brighter to

I just released 6.02-pre2 which includes support for booting 32-bit kernels from efi64. I know a number of people wanted this feature, so hopefully it will be tested in various environments. One thing to note is that it is not possible to boot a 32-bit kernel from efi64 via the EFI handover protocol (or from firmware via the EFI boot stub), but the kernel loader in Syslinux is smart enough to
