similar to: SYSLINUX 3.00-pre5 released

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

Okay, nothing like user mail at 3 am to keep one awake... I have implemented a filename-based syntax for downloading from an alternate TFTP server in PXELINUX. If the filename starts with IP address:: it will: a) Download from the alternate TFTP server; b) Suppress the common pathname prefix. I was considering also adding a configuration file option to set the default TFTP server, but I

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.30-pre5. This is the first version in which I think we can consider the graphical menu feature-complete. I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this particular test release. Also, if you find a machine on which the graphical menu *doesn't* work, I would appreciate knowing: 1. does it correctly fall back to the text menu? 2. what is

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 really hope to God this is the last prerelease of SYSLINUX 3.00... I have added code to isolinux to give a pointer to SBM, but in order for it to fit I had to reorganize sector 0 slightly. Therefore, I decided it called for another prerelease (sigh.) Other changes versus -pre9 is fixing the Makefile and specfile so the RPM builds, fixing up mkdiskimage and adding a README about how to deal

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

I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

Please test this prerelease if you have a system on which 2.13 works but 3.0x doesn't. It's based on some of the stuff I have iterated back and forth with Nazo. Huge thanks to Nazo for trying a gajillion experiments and being very prompt returning results. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

HPA, I believe I've found a possible bug with /menu. This against the unmodified -pre5 snapshot. SRC: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.c COMPILED: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.com It's easiest explained if you just compile the .c and experience it for yourself, anyways. If you have two submenus nested within each other and then call a third menu it will bring up the

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg.
