Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre11. This version hopefully should fix Curtis' bug (display file garbage) as well as the NOESCAPE problem. Curtis, Alex and Paul, could you try this version out, please? -hpa

At first I thought, I was dealing with the known EBIOS/CBIOS-problem. The symptom was exactly the same (hangs at ...EBIOS). As 3.10-pre8 and 3.10-pre9, in contrary what was mentioned in the ML, did not bring any improvement, I looked deeper into what could be my specific problem. I found out that the program just halted at 'cmp [esi],edx' (line 658; ldlinux.asm 3.10-pre9)! By replacing

I just picked up 3.10-pre15 and the "PXELINUX corrupts graphic filename referenced from DISPLAY file" bug is zapped. Yipee! Thanks hpa. And Arwin too, if that 'xor esi,esi' was the crux. However, LOCALBOOT -1 and LOCALBOOT 0 don't work the same as they did for me in 3.07. :-( 3.07: LOCALBOOT -1 apears to work as I have a hard disk listed in bios boot order after the

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

I know everyone is itching to test out another prerelease, and there's been quite a lot of activity since the last one. The shortlog is appended below. The feedback from testing the previous prereleases has been really constructive, so thanks to everyone for that. That feedback has been addressed in some of the commits listed below, but it's not all bug fixes, we've also got some new

I installed SYSLINUX 4.00-pre32 with the extlinux installer (FAT32 partition): $ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --install "/media/NANO PRO/" [sudo] password for gert: /media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1 The update function still doesn't work on FAT32: $ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --update "/media/NANO PRO/" /media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1 ./extlinux/extlinux: no previous

When I try to boot my system using extlinux I get the error: EXTLINUX 3.51 2007-06-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot: ???????????????????????????????? I've searched the archives and it would appear that extlinux can't find the extlinux.conf file.... Is there something glaring that I am missing? TIA - Phil I have a 32MB CF card

hi Peter, everyone, I recently installed extlinux on my CF drive. after a few botches, it works, with menu.c32 too. Heres a few notes/observations: - menuing seems pretty sensitive to presence of tabs in extlinux.conf, unlike with pxelinux.cfg/default, Is this an oversight, or something Im misremembering ? - extlinux doesnt have the timeout after menu-choice. if I dont choose, it times out and

I have released 3.08-pre10, which includes a version of 'raw' support which should work when the CPU is in big real mode (called 'bigraw', appropriately enough.) Note that it will ALWAYS put DS and ES in big mode; there isn't any really sane way to test if they should be or not. -hpa

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre10. This fixes some pretty serious bugs, including the fact that, apparently, isohybrid didn't work at all in CBIOS mode. Unfortunately it means that the isohybrid handover protocol has changed, and so a new isolinux.bin isn't compatible with an old isohybrid or vice versa (as a result, the magic number has changed.) -hpa

I have put out a 2.07-pre10; this version recognizes vendor-encapsulated (a.k.a. vendor-option-space) PXELINUX options as well as unencapsulated (a.k.a. site-option-space) PXELINUX options. Please try it out... I'd like to release 2.07 no later than Monday. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Ok, despite what I said yesterday I decided to release a 2.08-pre10. The only difference over 2.08-pre9 is that I have added a small program in the "samples" directory called chain.c32. This allows chainbooting local floppies and hard disks: chain fd0 ; Chainboot the first floppy drive chain hd0 ; Chainboot the first hard drive chain hd1 3 ; Chainboot partition 3 on the second

hi, i've tested with 2 version of awdflash and uniflash: here the results: it only worked with freedos, not with win98 dos; with win98 the images were not bootable; but that does not matter; freedos is ok. awdflash 8.27.45: flash ok awdflash 8.27.41 (uses protected mode): flash ok uniflash 1.40: when starting flashing the program freeze. awdflash 8.27.45 never worked before so i think this

Hi all, I've finally gotten around to actually implement the long-discussed TEXT HELP feature. Try it out, please; it's in 3.40-pre10. -hpa

Okay, the serial port feature in 3.11-pre9 was of course completely broken (I seem to have bad luck with -pre9's :)... a 3.11-pre10 is now available, and it does seem to have a more reliable handling of arrow keys ... *but not perfect*. There simply is no way to reliably detect both [Esc] and arrow keys on existing serial consoles. -hpa
