similar to: complex menu and timeout handler

Hello all, First off, thanks for the great work. I have recently added "more submenus" to a functioning advanced menu that only had one "submenu off of the main menu before" The addition of the new submenus has caused the main menu to not function correctly and I have been pouring over the code for several weeks and I just cannot see the error that I have introduced. This

I've finally gotten around to playing with the advanced menu, though the complex example is definitely still beyond me. I'm trying to figure out a few basics from it, such as the tab key for line editing (don't know what I've done wrong here since it seems like I copied that part right) and the timeout. It looks to me like the only ontimeout implemented so far is an option to not

Hi, I am having some problem with LOCALBOOT and menu.c32 This is my isolinux.cfg: ------------------------------------------- default menu.c32 timeout 50 prompt 0 ontimeout local menu title "TITLE" label livecd menu default manu label "LiveCD" kernel gentoo append initrd=initrd.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/ livecd.squashfs

Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe #

I just started to play with syslinux 3.11 and have some problems with the configuration. I want to implement following: wait 5 seconds till the users chooses the right label. if nothing is done for 5 seconds it should boot from next boot device specified by the BIOS. I configured syslinux like that: default menu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 50 ONTIMEOUT localboot totaltimeout 200 display boot.msg MENU

Hi I am using PXELinux to boot BartPE and some other application and it works fine. There are some other Boot application which I am using 3COM MBAUTIL PXE.mnu and floppy images. I have problem chaining from pxelinux.0 to 3com pxe.0 (pxe.mnu). Consider: BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->pxelinux.0 works fine. BIOS->(DHCP-TFTP)->3COM pxe.mnu works fine, the menu appears and I can choose a floppy

Hello, I have the following problem. I am trying to pxeboot a virtual machine using Sun's Virtualbox.

Peter, Paulo reported some problems with his config files under ISOLINUX and PXELINUX - basically TIMEOUT and TOTALTIMEOUT were broken. The patches I've pushed to the elflink branch fix this and also fix parsing of the ALLOWOPTIONS config directive. The following changes since commit d5e02fb16a11bfdbce1e90a39e6cb5f2ad925389: get_key: Valid key values are positive (2012-04-17 11:25:53

Hi, I just found this post: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-September/005814.html ONTIMEOUT was broken in menu.c32, and you fixed it. But the fix broke support for LABEL references in ONTIMEOUT. I changed my "ONTIMEOUT local" to "ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1" and it works! Anoying is that I tried ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 before. This failed, but after having a look at the

I have a project g4l that uses syslinux and have been working on the next version. I installed the 3.74 pre5, and it worked just fine. But I was doing a test, and booted the systems, and usually pick the default kerenel or one of the other kernels on the CD before it times out with 60 seconds. But this time, I didn't do that. It loaded the default kernel with no problem, but then gives

Hi All, I'm trying to get console redirect working with Ultimate Boot CD which uses syslinux.

Hello, when I try to boot from my computer extlinux needs about one minute before the boot menu is shown. Here's my system configuration -Two IDE drives on one controller -Second hdd is boot hdd -I'm using Arch Linux (i686) Is there an official bug tracker which I can use?

I have tried default vmlinuz-4.12.13_1 root=.... rootflags=.... initrd=.... but vmlinuz does not get executed. I was given a prompt ("boot:"). Despite that "prompt 0" and "timeout 0" are

Hi, I want to Boot up from a USB Disk-On-Key, Pull up a menu of: Start Fresh install of WBEL 3.0 Start Fresh install of WBEL 4.0 Start Fresh install of CentOS 3.6 Start Fresh install of CentOS 4.2 Load Win98 boot disk and end with command prompt. My problem is that I'm a novice user (sounds nicer than a newbie :)) ) and my experience with Linux was vanilla installs with no

Hi, I'm attaching a patch to Syslinux dealing with a handful of issues that were preventing me from using the simple menu interface. Issues covered: * Enable "MENU ONERROR" as a keyword on par with "ONERROR". * Enable hidden menu entries to be used as ontimeout and onerror entries (probably the least estheticalla pleasing part, sorry about that.) * Make global

Hi, I am using qemu for testing new versions of syslinux before installing on an embedded computer. Everything works fine under qemu (1.5.0), so I updated extlinux from 4.06 to 5.11-pre3 on the computer. I found that the autostart's timeout does not work. The timeout value is correct but nothing happens. It worked well with extlinux 4.06... I tried with extlinux 5.01, 5.10, 5.11-pre3 and

Hi I have a weird early boot bug that most likely happens because of interaction between syslinux (6.03pre18), btrfs and initram generated by Linux Arch installer. For some reason boot fails. Syslinux prints some information and returns back to the menu. Unfortunately it clears all the messages from screen. I really want to know what boot process prints there. Looking at

Has someone come up with a generic way to handle ajax requests that exceed a certain time? In my concrete case, I have several select boxes for drilling down a hierarchy. When the user clicks an option, the next deeper level is retrieved. To avoid multiple concurrent requests, I disable the select box. As the request may take too long or cause an error, I set a timeout that re-enables the
