This is an attempt to avoid potential confusion. Here are some example sizes for the two Syslinux versions mentioned in the e-mail subject. Your build results might be different. 4.06: 1 55 Sep 22 22:23 modules/int18.com 1 108 Nov 1 18:07 version.mk 1 138 Nov 1 18:07 version.gen 1 138 Nov 1 18:07 version.h 1 239 Sep 22 22:23 modules/poweroff.com 1 408 Sep 22 22:25

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! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

Hello! ethersel.c32 does not seem to work with all PCs. I have prepared a floppy that uses ethersel.c32 to load a NIC-specific file (etherboot .zlilo image). See http://etherboot.anadex.de for details. It works with every NIC and every PC I own, but not with VMWare. I know VMWare has some problems, so that did not bother me at all and I published it anyway but I have received several e-mails

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.

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:

Howdy, I just did a build on my CentOS 5.2 (x86_64) system and noticed the following error msg. I don't think this is a problem for me but I wanted the developers to be aware of it.

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> Move the MCONFIG files into a mk/ directory and give them more descriptive names. This is purely a cosmetic change to make the 'include' directives a bit more coherent by making it obvious exactly which MCONFIG file we're including. For example, in com32/lua/src/Makefile we exchange the line, include ../../MCONFIG for the

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

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

My apologies if this is no longer an issue or has been resolved in some other manner. It was quicker for me to simply do some quick hacking than to research more fully. Regarding this message from Feb 2005: >>> Did you make progress with ethersel.c32? >>> Is there anything I can do to help? >>> >> >> I've been out of town. If you could sprinkle some

Hello everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 2.01. It's almost identical to 2.01-pre5, but I figured it was time to get it out the door, especially since I won't have time to work on it for the next few weeks. Changes in 2.01: * MEMDISK: Fix memory sizing bug when the ramdisk crosses the 16 MB boundary. * MEMDISK: Add a "pause" option to stop

It is being mentioned by syslinux wiki, or some other documentation of syslinux that I currently can't find. I tried etherboot2ethersel.pl from PXE-On-A-Disk (ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html)

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

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

I have pushed out a 3.02-pre1 release of SYSLINUX, which has the BLKGETSIZE64 patch, plus a few other things: Changes in 3.02 (so far): * 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

From : Erwan Velu <erwan.velu at free.fr> This patch - remove the pci detection code from ethersel - add a find_pci_device() function in the PCI com32 module - make ethersel using the pci com32 module instead of builtin pci detection code Testing and feedback are welcome.

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".
