similar to: Hangs with graphical menu when switching menus, a lot?

Hi all, I would really appreciate feedback on the graphical menu system and its infrastructure. It's not really clear to me that it's what people want; it seems to me that it makes more sense than gfxboot, for example (C rather than pseudo-Forth), but I can understand people would disagree. Anyway, the more feedback I get the easier it will be to pick a direction and a priority for

Hi all, I'm in need of creating a simple menu where two options must be available: 1) (default) Boot from local harddrive 2) start installation 2) option should display a simple text disclaimer and if agreed it then would ask for a number from 32 to 254 which is then appended to one of commandline parameters. I have quite a lot of experience with [sys|pxe|iso]linux and some programming

3.75 is a bug fix release for 3.74. Changes in 3.75: * PXELINUX: fix the "keeppxe" option, which was broken in 3.74. * MEMDISK: correct the extraction of geometry information from the MBR of a hard disk image, again broken in 3.74. * extlinux(1) man page from Brian Pellin. * Simple menu: MENU SAVE is now controllable on a menu-by-menu

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

Well, here it is. This is a historic Syslinux release -- it's the first one in 15 years in which the majority of the work was not done by myself; mostly because of the *huge* effort Erwan and Pierre have put in on HDT. I also want to give a special thank you to my new(ish) employer, Intel Corporation, for letting me continue to work on Syslinux. :) From here, onward and upward. I

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.30-pre5. This is the first version in which I think we can consider the graphical menu feature-complete. I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this particular test release. Also, if you find a machine on which the graphical menu *doesn't* work, I would appreciate knowing: 1. does it correctly fall back to the text menu? 2. what is

Hello all, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.62. This is almost identical to 3.62-pre16, with a small number of changes to the Makefiles and documentation. The focus of this release has largely been removing build-in limitations as much as possible. Quite a bit of work has gone into it. I'd like to specially thank my employer, rPath Inc.; I've spent a lot of time on this I wouldn't

Hi all, I have officially released SYSLINUX 3.20: Changes in 3.20: * EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility; a future version will require one of these options. * New library functions to load and place files in

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.31. It is functionally identical to SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4. Changes in 3.31: * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. Changes in

Hello all. I've got this weird problem. If I try to boot a simple menu using syslinux's (v 3.09) pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 -files my Dell 1850 loses the keyboard / hangs straight after loading menu.c32. The machine has to be powered off completely. I did some research and got it working by using menu.c32 v3.09 and pxelinux.0 v3.07 -combo. It seems that from version 3.08 on something has

Hi all, 3.40 is getting close to feature complete, with the one thing I really want to add is support for F-key help in the simple menu system. However, I'm not 100% sure how I want to do it. This may seem trivial, but it actually matters. One option is to have the F-key help clear the screen and display text, similar to the way it would work at the plain boot prompt. Another option is

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

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

Hi! I use CCBasic, from Conrad, and if I klick at the Menu-Bar, and move the Mouse to the next menu, the app crashes. That is happening on my Debian Unstable with Wine 10-20-2001 and 11-08-2001... Any idea? And: Anyone knows if there a Linux Version of Conrad C-Control BASIC Software? Thanx, Martin! -- --> PSIplus <psiplus@gmx.net> --> ICQ... 57749465 --> Site...
