similar to: 2.09 works, 2.10 doesn't: please try 2.11-pre2

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

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.11. It's basically -pre3 with a few last-minute fixes. 2.11: Bug fix release. Changes in 2.11: * ALL: Add an API call to get the configuration file name. * SYSLINUX: Fix bug in 2.10 that prevented it from working correctly for a lot of people. * SYSLINUX: In the installer, make mtools a bit less fussy. * Make

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.06-pre2. This, I hope, fixes the ISOLINUX directory length bug, a.k.a. the "SRPMS bug." ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I haven't done anything to the lss tools yet; I was hoping to actually get some sleep tonight. Please, if you have had problems with either SYSLINUX or ISOLINUX lately, please test these out...

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72-pre2. It has a rather cool new feature: a hack to ISOLINUX to create a single image which can be booted either from CD-ROM or from what BIOS considers a hard disk medium (USB keys, etc.) -hpa

Hi,, I wud just like to inform that the previous issue of memdisk not booting compressed images still persists !! The release 2.05 that was supposed to fix this issue dint yet solve the problem !! Please, let me know if more info on the problem is required !! Bye, Jassi >From: syslinux-request at zytor.com >Reply-To: syslinux at zytor.com >To: syslinux at zytor.com >Subject:

Hi, Recently I upgraded pxelinux.0 from 2.04 to 2.09, after that the pxelinux doesn't correctly obtain server's IP address. The true address is 172.20.0.101, but 2.09 understand it as 172.20.0.11. "0" is dropped. As a result, root nfs-mount is directed to the non existent server. Following is the full screen dump of pxeboot by pxelinux 2.09:

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

In the light of the rather serious MEMDISK bug in 2.03, I would like to promote 2.04-pre2 to 2.04 some time this evening, California time. Please try it out -- especially PXELINUX and MEMDISK -- if you have the opportunity. Thanks! -hpa

This version adds some workarounds to ISOLINUX for a few broken El Torito BIOSes that have been reported to me. Since I don't have access to these systems myself I don't know if it will help or not (or even if I broke some other workarounds by mistake...) Please try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

Do note that not everyone is running a Debian based system, so "the current Debian Testing binary packages" are worthless to us.

Sorry Gene, I got the version of binutils is 2.17. I download the latest Binutils to make the *objdump* and *objcopy*. with both of these utilities to create new pxelinux.raw. then, the error message shows me that, objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw ../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin ../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30165, max 0) make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

This release is identical to 1.67-pre1. Unfortunately the people who reported problems with 1.66 never got back to me to indicate if it solved their problem or not, but since it fixes a real bug, regardless, I decided to release it as 1.67. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ -hpa 1.67 is a trivial bug fix release affecting a fairly small number of systems. 1.66 is an
