similar to: Survey: SYSLINUX: 2.13 works, 3.0x don't (H. Peter Anvin)

I've installed Syslinux on a somewhat old system. The motherboard is based on an Intel 440GX chipset (specifically it's the Supermicro P6DGE if that means anything.) The harddrive has been split up into partitions of one hidden FAT16 (marked as active) to which syslinux is installed (hda1), one normal FAT32 which has windows and dos (hda2.) It also has an extended partition containing

Okay, this applies particularly to SYSLINUX, not ISO/PXE/EXTLINUX. If you have a system on which 2.13 boots and 3.0x don't, I would like to get as much information as possible about it. In particular, I would like to know: - What device are you booting from (floppy, USB, IDE harddrive...) - Motherboard manufacturer/model - CPU manufacturer/model (a dump of /proc/cpuinfo would

Hi, We are using SYSLINUX with PC. Often syslinux hangs with message SYSLINUX 4.03 Peter Anvin" Please suggest what will be the problem here? If this is known issue, does this issue addressed in later versions of SYSLINUX? Thanks in advance. regards, Seetaram

Sure, I don't mind testing it out on there for you, but, where do I find the pre releases to try then? At least we know it's between 2.13 and 3.00. That narrows it a bit I would think. Mind you, if it jumps up a major revision number, I guess that means a lot of changes went in. On 8/2/05, syslinux-request at zytor.com <syslinux-request at zytor.com> wrote: > Send SYSLINUX

Hi, I've sent that patch once already but it seems more or less forgotten in the tumultuous days of the latest vulnerability. It adds a new define NO_IPPORT_RESERVED_CONCEPT which can be defined on platforms not supporting the concept of "privileged" ports only accessible by privileged users but which allow everyone to use these ports. This patch removes some Cygwin dependencies

I need help to get extlinux to work. I am tiring to boot /dev/hda1 with a ext2 file system. I am using extlinux 3.08 and installed it in the /boot directory with "/sbin/extlinux /boot" and set up the mbr with "cat mbr.bin > /dev/hda". The installer reported "/boot device is /dev/hda1". On booting extlinux.sys runs and displays "EXTLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19"

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre9. Please test it out, especially everyone who has been working with me on various systems trying to get them to work, or have had recent breakage. -hpa

Hi, HPA: Thanks for the nice new features, appreciate that. Syslinux is always a nice program. For the new version, 3.10-pre20, I encountered a problem now, my client machine uses sis900 chip, and it still can not run simple menu with pxelinux in this version (3.10-pre20). It's same situation as I encountered when I used syslinux 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09. For 3.10-pre20, I compiled in Fedora

I have an older server I am trying to update to CentOS 4.3 but I can't get to the installer screen because the machine kernel panics when booted from the install CD. The error message I get is: Kernel panic - not syncing: include/linux/smp_lock.h:25 spin_unlock(kernel/sched.c:c035) not locked The boot messages before this point are mainly to do with acpi including: acpi_ps_parse_anl

Dear Peter, first: thanks for the very prompt reply, I am not sure I would like to download 400+ meg file on my 56k modem though. Can that CD be purchased on line? Maybe some background here is needed: I am using SuSE Linux 6.4 and dual booting with windows 95 using LILO. I have found SuSE to be the easiest to mod so I would rather work with those files. There are quite large

I've set up a 24kbps/MONO Ogg stream which is doing the same metadata updates that Lithium's stream is doing...it can be used to test this nasty winamp (and other clients) crashing thing that has popped up of late.... hopefully, 24kbps is low enough for modem listeners (especially ones who happen to have written vorbis input plugins for winamp)..... it's available at
