similar to: SYSLINUX 2.10-pre6 is now release candidate

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

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

Memdisk still won't build because gcc doesn't always inline functions. Here's a patch I used. --- memdisk/Makefile.orig 2004-01-24 16:37:22.000000000 -0500 +++ memdisk/Makefile 2004-08-18 06:34:53.000000000 -0400 @@ -17,11 +17,12 @@ then echo $(1); else echo $(2); fi) M32 := $(call gcc_ok,-m32,) +MINLINE := $(call gcc_ok,-minline-all-stringops,)

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.

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*

An ext3 patch for the latest Linus kernel is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The changes are quite small: - Tided up some code now that quotas in Linus and -ac kernels are synced up. - Fix a race which can cause a null-pointer deref in ext3_writepage(). This bug has been there for a long time, but only manifested in 2.3.13-pre for some reason. I've tested this pretty

Hi everybody Just wanted to ask that. pre6 with ext3 work fine for me so far. Bye Tim

This version cleans up the Ethersel (PCI config probing) changes I have been iterating with Alex Heinz. It's not the same code (so please test, especially Alex), but it should work the same. As before, if you have a machine for which 2.13 worked and 3.0x hasn't worked, please test this version too. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

It seems that at least SYSLINUX 1.73-pre4 and -pre5 had some very serious bugs in it, so here is a SYSLINUX 1.73-pre6 to test out; don't be surprised if there are more in short order... :) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi, just tried 1.73-pre6 pxelinux: - booting linux works - memdisk with 1.44M Dos image works - the 'kbdmap'-parameter fails: [..] Unknown keyword in config file. Missing parameter in config file. boot: - and it doesn't remap any keys. I tried 1.66 with the same config file and it works, it accepts 'kbdmap' and also remaps the keys. Regards, Josef

Hi everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 2.00-pre6. The only difference against -pre5 is that I finally got around to fixing mbr.asm so that it produces a working MBR. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I will probably try to do a binary-only release of the COM32 port of newlib libc sometime this week. The only reason this will be a binary-only release is that the

Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix.

Hi all, It looks like the announcement about 2.08-pre6 never went out... it is 2.08-pre5 with Murali's "onerror" command added. -hpa

Hello, While attempting to build syslinux-3.52-pre6 for testing (my SCSI machine won't boot from CD-ROM with 3.51) I hit this problem: nasm -O99 -f bin -DDATE_STR="'3.52-pre6'" -DHEXDATE="0x46c22b21" \ -DMAP=pxelinux.map -l pxelinux.lsr -o pxelinux.bin pxelinux.asm pxelinux.asm:1206: error: short jump is out of range nasm -version NASM version

I have patched up the boot-once support added in 3.60-pre4 so that I now feel that it should be pretty safe it won't get invoked by mistake (famous last words, I know.) I have also pulled in the man pages from the Debian project. Unfortunately some of them are pretty out of date; I have done a first pass of touching them up, but there is still a fair bit of work that could be done. For

Most excellent! The pre-compiled syslinux6.03-pre6 binaries work great! I'm able to load syslinux.efi and all necessary support libs. I get my expected syslinux boot menu. I've used syslinux 5 / vesamenu for yrs (Legacy PXE boots). So I know my way around from here. Thanks Gene & Feri. And thanks Peter, for making me feel better -- it's the TFTP protocol that's bizarre, I
