similar to: SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 is release candidate

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

The attached config works, but gives 2 error messages that get covered up by the GUI screen so fast I cannot read them. I think they are probably about having 'LABEL' with nothing after it. I was trying to follow the example in menu.doc but somehow I'm doing it wrong. Please consider helping me figure out how to get the same resulting GUI menu without any error messages. I am using

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

I have syslinux 5.10 on a 32bit gentoo system. It boots fine. Now I installed another linux system in other partitions of the same drive (a 64 bit system), updated syslinux.cfg, setup the new system as default, and the new entry appears in the menu. Problem is: it doesn't boot. On timeout, it starts counting down again, and that's it. No error message whatsoever. Selecting the old system

Are there any undocumented options for moving the PASSWORD box round the screen? It'd be nice to have the same support (WIDTH, HSHIFT etc) for PASSWORD boxes (and the other similar boxes) as you do for the MENU itself. Being stuck with PASSWORDMARGIN and PASSWORDROW doesn't really help me at all. Is there a place to request such features?

Hello All, Im using a fresh install of CentOS 4.3 fully updated with the latest Samba packages from SerNet.de http://enterprisesamba.org/index.php?id=64 While I have used Samba/Winbind for quite some time, Im have a peculiar problem with these RPM's. When I try to "net ads join -U

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where if I use vesamenu.c32 with PXELINUX 6.03 when network booting a virtual machine hosted on VMware ESXi 6.0, it hangs (the version message is printed and then nothing - the VM has to be powered off and back on again). This happens no matter if I choose the E1000 network interface or the VMXNET3 network interface when creating the VM. The same problem

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre4, which is now a release candidate for 3.81. This version includes halt on idle, and so I'm very keen on getting this tested. -hpa

Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

Yet another test release for the rewrite in progress. This version generalizes the definition of a boot sector, and puts the boot sector code into all the modules, so that a CD-ROM "boot sector" (like WinNT uses) and a PXE NBP should now all be possible to chainload. PLEASE test it out, pretty please... I haven't heard anything from anyone since at least 1.73-pre2.

hi i'm about to upgrade systems. yesterday i got https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/syslinux-6.04-pre3.tar.xz in order to upgrade 6.04-pre1 version. i first was upgrading a usb-disk which was booting smootly with a simple configuration. i changed the EFI installation in /EFI/BOOT: efi64/efi/syslinux.efi (UEFI bootloader for EFI X64 (x86_64) firmware) ?

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.36-pre4; the main difference is a rewritten MBR which can boot from logical partitions. I plan to eventually submit that to be added into (s)fdisk in util-linux. -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre4, which is a release candidate for 1.75. Please pretty please test it out: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I'm working on some new stuff, basically COMBOOT+an API+32-bit support, which should make doing things like menus and other UI features very easy as separate modules. When that gets finished I'll probably

Hi all, I have just released SYSLINUX 2.03-pre4; this is the same as SYSLINUX 2.03-pre3, except: a) I have -- I hope -- finally fixed the Perl scripts so they work in UTF-8 locales; b) MEMDISK now supports gzip compressed images. For those who have requested it... you should really thank me for the last one. It took quite a bit of work, mostly because I had to move the installer to be a

Yep, -pre4. I've had a massive cleanup urge and have been doing things like actually move common variables into the .inc files where they belong. This also means NASM 0.98.38 is absolutely required, since it uses those new features extensively. This release also contains code to compress label statements in memory, although it's not actually turned on yet. Once turned on it should
