similar to: SYSLINUX 2.20-pre12 released

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

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.

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre11. This version hopefully should fix Curtis' bug (display file garbage) as well as the NOESCAPE problem. Curtis, Alex and Paul, could you try this version out, please? -hpa

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.20-pre12. This version fixes a long-standing stack overflow bug which kicks in after exiting from a COMBOOT or COM32 program too many times; this happens easily when using nested menus in the simple menu system. At this point I consider the feature set of 3.20 closed. I want to try to find the regression in ISOLINUX if at all possible before

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

Changes in 3.10: * gcc 4.0.1 compilation fixes. * Add support for querying the PCI BIOS in libcom32 (used by ethersel et al.) * Fix PCI handing (ethersel etc) on several old chipsets (and VMWare.) * Try to deal with systems with broken EBIOS. * New API call to do "localboot". * New API call to query features.

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

I got a qemu crash and errors reported in bochs while trying to get latest core32 branch working (pxelinux): qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0xe6e8aa07 EAX=6e0c7811 EBX=000034b3 ECX=ca68b338 EDX=00000048 ESI=750e3fff EDI=00000020 EBP=d07e4988 ESP=00102324 EIP=e6e8aa07 EFL=00000002 [-------] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0028 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9300 CS =0020

Changes in 3.11: * MEMDISK: Fix bug by which accessing the real floppy disk as B: in MS-DOS was broken. * Simple menu system: allow tweaking of the screen layout. * Simple menu system: better command-line editing, correctly handle command lines above 256 characters. * PXELINUX: revert memory allocation change that caused problems

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

So it turns out that -pre13 was quite buggy after all. Once I started running the list of tests that I described in my email, a bunch of those bugs came to heed. Now I think I've fixed them, and so have released -pre14. I have also formally decided to call the final release 3.00 when it's ready. Between code base rewrite + EXTLINUX + libcom32 + simple menu, there is plenty of

OK, the DOS installer actually does work now :) I haven't had either time or knowledge to port the Win32 installer, however. I would really appreciate it if someone (Lars?) could take a look at it. And, again, please do test... -hpa

Hi, I've just pushed out a last -pre release before 4.06 final. The purpose of this prerelease was to make sure that all the build infrastructure is configured correctly and to ensure that the win installer problem is now gone (I've done the build on an F16 machine which should have a working mingw toolchain). Barring any major problems I'll do the final release this week. -- Matt

Hi, I have been using 6.03-pre11 lpxelinux.0 to deliver standard (TFTP) and HTTP based vmlinuz and kernel images. Things are working fine. When I upgraded the same to 6.03-pre12 it stopped working. On the console of the machine that is booting, is stalls infinitely at the line: PXELINUX 6.03 lwIP 6.03-pre12 Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al Screen shot attached. FWIW: 1. the

With some help from Nathan Laredo, I cribbed my way though porting the Win32 installer on my own accord. Thus, I believe we now have something which can be called a release candidate. Given how much stuff managed to make it in, after all, I'm seriously considering calling it 3.00, but for now it's 2.20-pre13. So, everyone that can, please test it out. In particular, I have not yet

... and this is pretty much the first version of 2.20 which can be considered likely to actually work, except for the Win32 installer. The big news in this prerelease, by far, is EXTLINUX. I'm also hacking on a "simple menu system" as a com32 module; basically a hack to re-parse the config file and display a menu of its label statements. Don't know when that'll be ready

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".

It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly: Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes in 4.03: * Don't hang if no configuration file is found. * Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass handover information. * EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about

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
