similar to: Config-file-switching code in syslinux-3.40-pre7 worth testing out

Hi all, I have merged Tim's patches to the mboot loader, and have pushed it out as 3.20-pre7. I guess I'm going to actually have to make a 3.20 here soon... -hpa

I just uploaded SYSLINUX 3.72-pre7. I'm hoping this will be the final 3.72 prerelease. Please test it and holler if something is (still) broken. -hpa

Still interested in pre-compiled binaries for 6.03-pre6. But my comment about 6.02 TFTP brokenness may speak more to my lack of understanding of the TFTP protocol than to any pxelinux 6.02 code problems. It seems that when TFTP sends an OACK back to syslinux.efi, it sends it from another port than 69. So, it seems to be opening a data connection back to the TFTP client off an ephemeral port.

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.80-pre7. I am slightly concerned about putting this into the release tree at this point: I was working with some of the shuffler code, and found that the memory map handling was actually severely buggy on some of my test cases. Resolving that problem took rewriting most of syslinux_add_memmap(). However, against better judgement :) I decided to check in the

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

I'm going to promote SYSLINUX 3.32-pre7 to release candidate unless someone objects, with the intent of releasing 3.32 immediately after Christmas. Please let me know if there are problems that should make me *not* do so, even if you have previously reported them. -hpa

3.62 is shaping up to be the "let's get rid of hardcoded limits" release. I got inspired by Bryan Perry's post about people still wanting to be able to use the CLI, so I have implemented putting labels in high memory, therefore avoiding the 64K total limit. This is now released as 3.62-pre7. If you happen to have a use case for this, I would be interested in finding out

Hi all, I've decided to move SYSLINUX 3.30-pre7 to release candidate status (the difference from 3.30-pre6 is pretty much that 3.30-pre7 contains a very simple compiled-in graphical background if the user doesn't specify MENU BACKGROUND.) Please test it out and let me know. Thanks, -hpa

Gene, Where did you find the precompiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre7? Actually, I'm interested in the pre-compiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre6. I went out to kernel.org, but the latest they have is 6.02. Which appears to have an endian problem in its TFTP client code (when syslinux.efi tries to connect to the TFTP server, attempts to connect to UDP port 17664 instead of 69).

I have just released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre7. Barring any showstopper bugs, this WILL be the final 1.75, so please test if out, and if you find problems speak now or forever hold your pizza. After 1.75 is out I'm going to be spending most of my time on the new 2.00 release. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.08-pre7. This version rate-limits the ARP polling in PXELINUX; it turns out that it was giving people using automatic control via serial console a real headache since it caused PXELINUX to drop characters. As usual, I'd really appreciate any and all testing. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Ok folks... SYSLINUX 2.08-pre7 is hereby declared a release candidate. Please test it out; if it works for people I'll promote it to 2.08. -hpa

Hi, First, many thanks for your great work. Don't know if it's the good way to post .... But I want to give you a good information ( and also good for me). I try to make an usb bootable SystemrescueCd (www.sysrescd.org) on a new 2Gb Usb Key (noname, UT163 controller from USBest) and it was impossible with syslinux 3.31 release ( using win32 version syslinux.exe). The syslinux command

So I realized I really need a better way to collect information from problematic machines, so I spent today rewriting the old memdump tool into a new "sysdump" tool. sysdump can write its output either to a serial port using ymodem[1] or over the network using TFTP *if* it was booted from the network, using PXELINUX. John R.: I would obviously like you to try this on the machine that

Using both a disk load and netboot, the precompiled binaries of Syslinux 6.03-pre7 for EFI64 appear broken. Testing 6.03-pre6 on the same system results in a successful boot. This does not appear to affect the BIOS architecture and likely affects EFI32 also. -- -Gene
