similar to: SYSLINUX 3.10-pre15

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.71-pre15. This version officially begins the release candidate stage of SYSLINUX 3.71. To be honest, I'm a bit baffled that the numbers got that high for what has always been intended as a maintenance/bugfix release, but those 15 prereleases only correspond to 55 commits total, so I guess it's really not that much. -hpa

I have a pxelinux I'm working with and I want the default option to be to boot off the local mbr. According to the docs, if I specify localboot 0, it should return to the BIOS and continue to the next device. When I do this, though, the pxe agent exists (PXE-M0F), but the BIOS never continues on. Is this a BIOS issue? If so, has anyone else figured out a way to work around it? * Philip

Hi, I have a problem to report with the 4.10-pre15 branch. The problem is that my KVM guest "just reboots" when booting off the network. The setup is as follows: Host OS: RHEL 6.0/RHEL 6.1 with the default packages (no additional repos or packages) KVM guest configured to network boot. (maybe irrelevant info ...) ?!? DHCP server (using dnsmasq) in the same subnet as the KVM host.

Ive got a soekris 4801 on which Ive used pxelinux... its bios is set to go to pxeboot 1st, then localboot. Ive got: label bootlocal MENU label ^9 Boot Local localboot 0 # timeout 80 # TOTALTIMEOUT 9000 but using hangs: Booting from local disk...

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

Hello, A couple of months back there was this message on the list. http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-October/015459.html I have exactly the same result on just a few types of machines. Acer Tavelmate 8372 and 5742 InsydeH2O Bios v1.05 Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 V 14.0.8 It started after I upgrades pxelinux.0 to version 3.86 Versions tested and got the recursing: 3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.83 On

I have a lab in which I keep all my computers set to try network boot first that way it is easy to put a file in pxelinux.cfg of the mac address of a faulty machine and have it build itself or run diagnostics. Up till recently I used pxelinux.0. I have been trying out gpxelinux so that I can use its http fuctionality to download initrd images faster to boot. I just discovered that its local boot

Hello, We're using the PXELINUX to boot remote kickstart and Linux rescue images. Recently we got some new hardware (Compaq DL360) which required me to upgrade from PXELINNUX 1.75 to 2.02. Everything works fine on the new hardware, but the "localboot 0" option now just hangs on some of our older boxes. Specifically, our "Tyan Thunder 2510" motherboards with integrated

I just released 2.09-pre15; it has a slightly improved E820 memory parser, which I'm hoping will deal with the "incorrect length" BIOS bug some people reported. If you have a machine with this bug, *PLEASE* test out this release, since I really want to release 2.09 this weekend. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Thanks! -hpa

As promised, here's the DCE patch for pre15. (and this time i didn't forget the attachment ;) It enables ssh to authenticate, set groups and attach network credentials. It's a clean implementation (i left out the credential-move-hack). This one adds the --with-dce option to configure Some notes have rised: The for loop 3->64 closing fd's... is it really needed? Is it

Hello, I didn't try 6.02-pre15, I will do and I will post the results, my keyboard is a PS/2 model, the "legacy USB storage option" is enabled, I tried also an USB keyboard but there is no change, so it's not a keyboard problem, it probably something in syslinux ( ldlinux.sys ? ) who create a serious bug with my motherboard, I tried also with a USB HDD ( not a flash drive )

Hi all, wasnt sure whether this was the best place to put this information; but something seems to have gone 'backwards' in the later pre-releases of 6.03 regarding network booting. below are results of me testing - i did each a few times to make sure they are valid results. hope it helps identify something that's gone awry ? so far, 6.03 pre11 and pre13 (excluding efi32) seem most

I am hoping for some advice regarding another index problem. The code below is intended to assign a value of 'V' if values on certain variables are >= 1, assign a value of 'N' if values on certain variables are >= 1 on other variables and assign a 'O' if values on any variable which have a value <= 0. The outcome of this code is to assign a single

I've begun tinkering with syslinux v3 and have uncovered an anomoly with the DISPLAY file when called by pxelinux.0. If I have: DISPLAY boot.msg With an "^Xsplash.lss\n" in the file boot.msg (exactly: 18 73 70 6C 61 73 68 2E 6C 73 73 0A) file, it will fail to load the rle image. And produce some goofy results in the tftpd log: Jun 5 06:27:06 pxe in.tftpd[24649]: RRQ from

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

Given that we've had several major patches of late, is there any chance that pre15 could get released within the next couple of days? Thanks, David -- David W.
