similar to: SYSLINUX 3.02-pre1 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.

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

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

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:

I am excited to try this on my system that hangs with 6.03. Is this the best place to report if it continues not to work? Thanks for all of this work!

Hi everyone, I have pushed out a development preview release of Liu's filesystems in C code (including ext4 support for EXTLINUX). It is called 4.00-pre1, which doesn't mean it is the final 4.00 by any means (it isn't even current with respect to some aspects of the 3.8x branch.) However, it is now available for people to try out. It is checked into the fsc branch

Hello Thanks and sorry for the mistake. The situation is a little better (Thanks to Ady). Here is my extlinux.conf : prompt 1 DEFAULT lnx LABEL lnx SAY Now booting my first extlinux LINUX /bzImage APPEND ro root=/dev/sda1 Linux still does not run, I still get the prompt. The good news is that if I type the name of the label ("lnx"), the kernel DOES load (and does not crash any

Hi! I have the same situation, but some more information : 1) I have tried to change the last line to "APPEND root=/dev/sda1", it did not seem to make any difference 2) If I type ENTER at the prompt, syslinux loads the kernel (but with the same results mentioned above). So, clearly I have a problem with my extlinux.conf. Thanks Mau On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Mau Z

After so much time and improvements, I'm glad to see and publicize a pre-release, 6.04-pre1 in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ Personally, I've already been working testing the pre-release as-is and my tests have been positive so far. I appreciate feedback like that from Gabriele Balducci and testing "make bios installer". Yes, there are a

As the subject says, building syslinux fails when built against 2.6.8.1 kernel headers. Anybody out there have a patch?

Folks, I've just spun a 4.07 prerelease. People were asking for a release that contained the commits that have been sitting in the master branch, and I've heard that distros are packaging the master branch just to get at them. --- Matt Fleming (4): extlinux: Avoid dereferencing a garbage pointer Merge branch 'searchdir_leak-406' of

Thank you for your answer. I need to correct some information from my previous post: booting from `/` did not work either. I just assumed it did based on previous experience. But with that successful build on development branch, it did not either. > I would suggest trying first the official binaries that are already > included in the official distribution archive (6.03-pre1).
