similar to: A couple vesamenu.c32 questions

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas and perhaps solutions around an error i've been experiencing when using vesamenu.c32 (and the other non-vesa menu too). I have tried three different versions (the latest three) of pxelinux and the other files. The problem exists in all of them. My setup is pretty simple, filename defined in dhcpd, boot up from pxe, starts requesting configs, and

Hi all, In June 2007 Jerry Nelson started a thread on this mailing list about a problem he was seeing. The thread was http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-June/008673.html After several hours of searching through the list, I am still convinced that his problem was never solved and is very valid. I recently moved from the old syslinux config options model (all labels in 1 default config file)

Since keystrokes were brought up, this seems like a reasonable time to make the following seemingly simple-to-implement feature request: Navigating a multi-level menu structure seems to require use of UP/DOWN/ENTER/ESC. It would be easier to quickly search/navigate if it could be done with fingers stationed on the arrow keys so that the eyes can stay focused on the screen. Current

Hi all, I'm looking for some menu examples for Murali's menu system. Specifically, a headstart on creating a Kickstart menu which covers the most common options with the intention of creating this: label ks.menu kernel vmlinuz.ks.$DIST append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://kickstartserver/$DIST/Custom/ks.cfg.$DIST initrd=initrd.ks.$DIST lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 Hmm...looking

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

Hello, I am currently trying to get the gfxboot archive from Ubuntu 12.04 working with gfxboot.c32 under BIOS, using ISOLINUX 6. AFAIK, the Ubuntu patches have been added in 4.03, and in fact it works with the official 4.05 release, but not with 5.10 or 6.01-pre5. I can tell that the menu is actually working, you just don't see it. If you navigate it "blind", the correct

Hello everyone I'm new to using menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32. I have used the original method of using pxelinux menus. I've read the wiki page and it speaks of being able to create submenus by making one of my menu options reference to (vesa)menu.c32 as the kernel and append the config file. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly it was a little over simplified. Any help would be

Hi, As of syslinux-3.70, vesamenu.c32 seems to be broken. But here's the kicker: it's only broken when booting from USB, not from CD! What happens is that the colours are not set like I've set in the cfg and only one entry shows up. On my laptop that entry contains some really messed up symbols but on my stationary computer it's just empty, so it seems we're dealing with some

Greetings, I am grateful that I have been able to use the list archive functionality to find the answer to my recent problem. http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-November/007740.html However, I am curious if there is a particular reason to have such a low limit (10 menus) as the default in the code? It was very, very confusing to figure out why my menu was being so garbled. Daniel W. Ottey

This is a bug report about Syslinux 6.03-pre11 in EFI. To Syslinux EFI developers; the results can be replicated in real hardware. I apologize for the length of the email; I am describing the steps necessary to reproduce the confusing behaviors the best I can. I have been experimenting with VBox and Syslinux EFI32. In EFI, the default screen resolution for [vesa]menu.c32 is not 640 x 480
