similar to: SYSLINUX 3.10 released

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

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 released a new prerelease for SYSLINUX which supports PCI BIOS access for ethersel.c32. If you've had trouble with ethersel.c32, I would appreciate it if you'd test it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Thanks, -hpa

Hello Erwan, You will find below a pull request for the bug reported by Robert Jordan in the disk library. The first patch is the one he tested (see http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-September/015341.html) and the second one is a sanity check for the number of sectors written by call ( see http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-September/015342.html). Thanks, The following changes

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

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

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.

This version cleans up the Ethersel (PCI config probing) changes I have been iterating with Alex Heinz. It's not the same code (so please test, especially Alex), but it should work the same. As before, if you have a machine for which 2.13 worked and 3.0x hasn't worked, please test this version too. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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

I've been submitting a patch t o add a com32 module able to parse the DMI table. I'm starting now the next step : having a way to boot some different menu regarding the dmi structures. I've been looking for some ideas with the ethersel syntax : DEV [DID xxxx:yyyy[/mask]] [RID zz-zz] [SID uuuu:vvvv[/mask]] commandline In other hand, a nice implementation must allow to do : "if

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

Hi All, I am going to be presenting a 45 minute session at Linux World in April on how to use PXELinux to provision linux systems, among other things. This probably isn't of value to most on the list, as it is geared towards giving new users a jumpstart on what's needed so that they can get up and going quickly along with some practical suggestions and tips. I'll be

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

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

It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly: Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes in 4.03: * Don't hang if no configuration file is found. * Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass handover information. * EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about

Hi, the first attached patch extends the argument parsing code to allow (shell like) spaces. A config like LABEL BIOSupdate KERNEL dmiselect.c32 APPEND "ESPRIMO P5925" "memdisk initrd=/dos/FSC-E5925.img raw" will result in args[]: ESPRIMO P5925 memdisk initrd=/dos/FSC-E5925.img raw instead of (current code): "ESPRIMO P5925" "memdisk

I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.10-pre10 with the fix for Arwin's bug. Still no idea about the bug reported by Curtis Doty. Pending issues before 3.10: - Need for forward-port EBIOS changes from SYSLINUX to EXTLINUX; - Verify EXTLINUX functionality on Supermicro systems; - Try to make some head or tail out of menu.c32 hang, if at all possible; - NOESCAPE. - Curtis' bug (garbage at end of
