similar to: SYSLINUX 2.11 released

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,

Greetings, I have released SYSLINUX 2.05. It is almost identical to 2.05-pre4. I'm about to leave for a trip, so if there are any issues please let me know, but don't expect a response any time soon. -hpa 2.05 is mostly a bug fix/maintenance release. Changes in 2.05: * PXELINUX: Add a default query based on the hardware address of the boot device. This is in lower

It's pretty much the same as 2.08-pre11. 2.08 mostly a collection of minor enhancements. Changes in 2.08: * 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 not

Hi... I'm Jaspreet. I've been having the memdisk memory overlapping problems since 2.04 Its always seen in the compressed images whereas the uncompressed images works just fine !!! It just stops at the error "Ran out of input data".. Even the memdisk 2.05 dint solve my problem !!! maybe there r still some bugs remaining. !! My motherboard is Intel 845GEBV2 and i've got

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:

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

2.12: Add a C runtime library for writing COM32 applications; minor improvements. Changes in 2.12: * Simple C library, based on klibc, for writing COM32 programs. * Fix the handling of file length in loading of COM32 programs. * MEMDISK: Work around a linker bug by rearranging the code to not use the linker for the 16-bit code.

It's basically the same as 2.13-pre1 but with some makefile and specfile cleanups. For the RPM package, there is now a separate RPM with the com32 build environment. 2.13: Bug fixes for the 2.12 release. 2.12: Add a C runtime library for writing COM32 applications; minor improvements. Changes in 2.13: * MEMDISK: Fix command-line parsing "brown paper bag" class

I have released SYSLINUX 2.06; it's basically identical to 2.06-pre4. I'm doing this now because the bug fixes are so major and because I am not sure I'll be around next week. -hpa 2.06 is a bug fix release. Changes in 2.06: * ALL: Fix problem that would occationally cause a boot failure, depending on the length of the kernel. * ISOLINUX: Fix problem

Syslinux 4.02 is a bug fix release, but also adds an experimental new Win64 installer (syslinux64.exe), extends the new syslinux installer CLI to all the installers. Changes in 4.02: * SYSLINUX: correctly handle the case where the -d option is specified with a non-absolute path, i.e. "syslinux -d syslinux" instead of "syslinux -d /syslinux".

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.

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

SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major rewrite of some of the internals. It also includes some bug fixes. Changes in 1.70: * Major code restructuring. * Relax the conventional memory limits somewhat. * MEMDISK: Set up the "version number string" pointer in the header correctly. * SYSLINUX: Fix, again,

Since I've gotten convinced the really serious PXELINUX/ISOLINUX bug in 1.71 got squashed, I have released 1.72. Again, 1.72 is a bug fix release only. I have some additional rewrites pending before I want to introduce features that use the new core code, but let's make sure it gets usable again, first... -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a

I have released SYSLINUX 1.71 after fixing the total "brown-paper-bag" class bug in 1.70. My best guess is that I checked in the wrong verson of some code. -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major rewrite of some of the internals. It also includes some bug fixes. SYSLINUX 1.71 is a bug fix to 1.70. Changes in 1.71: * Fix a

I tracked down the source of the "invalid kernel image" in 1.73 -- it turns out that in two different places I was accessing word-sized variables as dwords :( Consequently, SYSLINUX would reject valid kernels. PXELINUX/ISOLINUX are unaffected. Thus, SYSLINUX 1.74 is out. Expect a 1.75-pre1 quite soon. I'm working on a rewrite using 32-bit code from the very beginning, which

After 64 prereleases, 626 commits, 52,742 lines of changes, and tons of work by many, many people, Syslinux 4.00 is now officially released. Syslinux 4.00 is the first of a set of major code restructuring releases. The single biggest new features are btrfs and ext4 support, and support for disks larger than 2 TiB. Huge thanks to: - Intel, for sponsoring mine, Alek Du's and Feng Tang's

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.71. This is pretty much a bug fix and hardware support release. The major new *features* are the "initrd" command (syntactic sugar, but it supposedly makes it easier for some tools), the "hide" option to chain.c32, and the ifcpu64.c32 module. As always, special thanks to rPath, Inc., my employer, for the countless hours I

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

3.80 is a bug fix and internal restructuring release. In particular, the entire shuffler subsystem has been rewritten largely from scratch, as has the Multiboot module. Changes in 3.80: * New shuffler mechanism and API. * Rewritten mboot.c32 module. * The syslinux_boot_linux() function has been simplified. * Don't hang trying to boot a "menu
