similar to: SYSLINUX 2.20-pre8 available

I have released SYSLINUX 3.11-pre8; this is a release candidate. The differences versus -pre6 is that I have reverted the PXELINUX stack changes I did in SYSLINUX 3.10 since there are confirmed reports that they break at least one platform. As before, I hope to release 3.11 on Tuesday unless I get objections. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.70-pre8. The two main differences is that I have updated the gPXE source base, and added a sanboot module (sanboot.c32). sanboot.c32 *should* be capable of initiating an iSCSI or AoE boot, but I haven't actually tested it. The other main difference is that gPXE now advertises HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1, since the code was not actually HTTP/1.1

Tested floppy boot on two machines (one PII 350, one 486DX4) Floppy boot with syslinux is very very slow, more than 18 mn to boot a linux kernel from floppy on the 2 machines. Tested with 3 different disquettes that were know to work, boot is reached after this very long time. Noise from floppy head make think floppy wait approximatly one minute between each read. No problem with pxe boot with

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.00-pre8, which a syslinux installer which I'm *hoping* should be safe to run setuid root (and therefore will be able to run on any device or file that the user has read/write permission to.) If anyone is willing to do a security audit of this code, I would really appreciate it; I have really tried to make sure the code asserts root privilege as little as at

Hi All, A colleague of mine is using syslinux-3.20-pre8, syslinux.com, under DOS to install syslinux loader. It gives "sector read error". He re-compiled syslinux.com under a linux box, and used it successfully to install the loader from DOS. He is installing it on a hard drive (C:) He booted from a floppy and ran: "syslinux.com C:" at A:\ prompt He tried with

Okay, spending the time to dot t's and cross i's (or something like that), I think I have something now that can be called 3.00-worthy, so let's call it a release candidate. Changes over the earlier 3.00 prereleases: - -m and -a options now supported by the DOS installer. - PXELINUX now allows IP addresses, FQDNs, and truncated hostnames when specifying an alternate TFTP server

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

After a couple of very late nights I actually have a VERY preliminary test of the rewritten SYSLINUX available for preview. However; don't expect it to do anything miraculous yet; the testing it has gotten can best be described as infinitesimal. In theory, though, it should now support EDD and FAT32, as well as FAT filesystems with very large clusters (up to 64K). NOTE: The Win32

Yep, -pre4. I've had a massive cleanup urge and have been doing things like actually move common variables into the .inc files where they belong. This also means NASM 0.98.38 is absolutely required, since it uses those new features extensively. This release also contains code to compress label statements in memory, although it's not actually turned on yet. Once turned on it should

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre9. The only change versus 3.00-pre8 is that the MEMDISK query API now reports the boot loader ID byte, per Bernd's suggestion. This is a release candidate, and I plan to release it as 3.00 *tomorrow*, unless I hear back anything bad. -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

Hello! I got oops after about 3 hours of uptime. Load was about 1,5. This is output of ksymoops after forced reboot if it helps someone. :-) ksymoops 2.4.0 on i686 2.4.14-pre8. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.4.14-pre8/ (default) -m /boot/System.map-2.4.14-pre8 (default) Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on

Another prerelease for the 5.00 (elflink) branch should be making its way to the mirrors now. The shortlog for -pre7 to -pre8 is listed below. Just like the 4.06 branch I was really hoping to drop a final release this week. Once 4.06 is out I'll merge that into 5.00. If you can, please test it out and let know any of any bugs you find. Because so much of the core infrastructure is rewritten

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.

Hi, OK, I solved the problem. Before calling "make installer", I first have to call "make spotless" and "make". Then I can call "make installer". Is that documented, somewhere? -- Regards, Igor

Thanks for this, it help us get 6.0.3 built for CENTOS. Regards, Friedrich(Fritz) Seifts Senior Director, Core Infrastructure MLB Advanced Media 212.485.4659
