similar to: SYSLINUX 3.01 released

In my last post I pasted the last few line of the compile log for syslinux-3.02pre2. Here are the correct lines from my failed attempt to compile syslinux-3.01. Still the same error. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.01/unix' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.01/extlinux' gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W -Wall -Wno-sign-compare

Changes in 3.61: * EXTLINUX: fix crash when accessing an empty file. * elf.c32: If a PHDR segment is present, load it. * Fix SHA-1 and MD5 passwords. * ISOLINUX: fix booting when mastered without mkisofs -boot-info-table (broken since 3.50, sigh...) * Handle BIOSes which emit multiple contiguous valid memory regions in the e820 map. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.61 Entered-date:

Hello all, apologies if my question has an obvious answer or it's too naive (I sent this directly to Peter with the intent of not chocking the list with possibly ridicolous questions...). I just tried to build both syslinux-3.00 and 3.01, with the same bad result. Out of the box compilation with: make depend make installer fails with: ... gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W

I just released Syslinux 4.00-pre40. This is now a Release Candidate, meaning that it is on track to be released as it currently is unless I hear back about currently unexpected problems. If you have a chance, please pretty please test it. -hpa

Syslinux 3.86 is out; it is a bug fix release. Syslinux 4.00, starting with Syslinux 4.00-pre38, is now officially in beta test. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.86: * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken in 3.85). * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information structure. *

Why doesn't the Windows Syslinux installer show: --offset and --directory too (I know it is not supported)? Because the Linux versions show the Windows/dos specific commands: --mbr --active and --force I didn't check the DOS version. If all options will be displayed unconditionally for all installers, it might be a good idea to add: --offset -t Offset of the file system on the

Well, it has to happen at some point, so I have officially pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72. The big news in this release is of course the ISOLINUX hybrid mode support (a single image which can be booted either from a CD-ROM or from a hard disk/USB stick), but there are plenty of more goodies in here, including the label listing (not technically completion) on the Tab key. As usual, huge thanks to

I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre3. The only significant difference over -pre2 was changing MEMDISK to use "safeint" by default. -hpa

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

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will
