Hey Murali, I'm currently playing with the menu system (against latest git).That's a very nice toy you gave us, thanks ;o) I was just wondering if it's possible to put the main menu as a single line on top of the screen instead of having a big box on the top left on the screen. Having a single line a the top would leave me a lot of space for the sub menu. Erwan,

Hey Murali, While playing with HDT which uses your menu, I found I can't reach more than 24 rows whereas my screen is 25. set_windows_size() relies on getnumrows() to define the maximum number of possible rows. But regarding to getnumrows() code, it sounds to report "// Actually numrows - 1". On my screen which is 80x25, getnumcols x getrowcols reports 80x24. The

Hi all: Well it looks like my declaration of having a working menu system was a tad premature. If I enter any of the submenu's using the enter key on my keyboard, it selects (and runs) the first item on the submenu. If I type ^j instead, it enters the menu and I can scroll through the options. If I type ^M, it acts like I hit the enter key and runs the first menu item. Now in my terminal

From http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Comboot/menu.c32 *** QUOTE - BEGIN *** MENU BEGIN [tagname] MENU END Begin/end a submenu. The entries between MENU BEGIN and MENU END form a submenu, which is marked with a > mark on the right hand of the screen. Submenus inherit the properties of their parent menus, but can override them, and can thus have their own

"Menu" is limited to 8 menus with 12 items each.

Got to minimize (barely) my filesystem and kernel and fit it into my usb key (256mb) My kernel was compiles with scsi and usb support built-in. My problem now is i can't mount my root filesystem when i tried to boot. kernel somehow takes time before being able to recognize my usb as a valid scsi device thus displaying VFS: Cannot open root device 08:01 this is my lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda

The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out. Gert was a great source of motivation for making that -pre2. He found many bugs and gave nice ideas. Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests. This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming syslinux 3.84. Since -pre1, here come the Changelog * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu

From : Erwan Velu <erwan.velu at free.fr> This patch fixes the pci detection stuff demo'd in pcitest.c32 - Fix a wrong type in malloc - Incorrect use of strdup This two fixes makes pcitest.c32 working far better, no more crash when running it twice.

I created a bootable usb flash with boot menu. One of items was "Boot from hard drive" with command "localboot 0x81". This item worked when this usb flash was prepared with syslinux 6.02. And it stopped working when the flash was prepared with syslinux 6.03. The message was Booting from local disk... Boot error I extracted the source code, investigated, changed, compiled

Gents, I've come across an issue using 4.0.5 -- not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I've tried a hundred different ways to password protect an entry in one of my pxe menus, but every time I invoke the entry in the menu, it prompts for the password (I've tried using MENU PASSWD xxxx and tried it without, supplying a MASTER PASSWD and a blank MENU PASSWD after both a BEGIN MENU

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.

The system however goes ahead and after the timeout configured in the menu system syslinux boots the kernel. I can then (after kernel

Hello everyone, I am in the process of setting up a home boot server using pxelinux. I have started creating a menu using menu.c32, and I want to add System Rescue CD to that. Is there any way I can point PXE to load the isolinux.cfg that comes with SystemRescueCD (I will now on refer to this file simply as isolinux.cfg), but not in the "menu" mode? I want to do that so all the
