I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

Are there any issues with ext3-2.4-0.0.7 on 2.4.6-pre5? The patch applies with offsets and no rejects. [I need the export reiserfs by knfsd functionality of -pre3 onwards. My intent for the test system is to protect all standard partitions /, /usr, /var with ext3 (easier to revert to ext2 and do OS upgrades) and try a mixture of ext3 and reiserfs for exporting of data and user home partitions.]

The 3.20-pre5 vesamenu works pretty well in ATI (Radeon Mobility M6) and Intel VGA chips (82865G Integrated). Awesome! If I remove the png file, it will fall back to the text mode. Just one more question, I'd like to make this text mode color looks like that default one in menu.c32, but when I use "MENU COLOR ..." to change the setting, it seems no affect. Where am I wrong? If it can

I've setup rsync 3.0.0 pre5 on distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr (rsync server) and upload the same into mandriva cooker (development distribution).

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

I just want to send a quick note that I am running clean unpatched 2.4.15-pre5 with ext3 on root (and only) Linux partition on my notebook for a while, and it just works without a glitch. Congratulations to the developers (and users :) for getting this stuff in the mainstream distribution at last. Eugene

Anyone had any chance to try this out? -hpa

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, With SYSLINUX 3.72-pre5 I think it's time to push SYSLINUX 3.72 into release candidate status. Please let me know if there are any bugs I'm forgetting... -hpa

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre5 is hereby a bug fix release candidate. If I don't receive any problem reports, I will release it as-is on Tuesday, August 30. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Well, I'm back and while I was on vacation I hacked up a DNS resolver, so PXELINUX now supports FQDNs (only!) in its alternate server syntax. That is, you should be able to type "server.domain.com::filename" and have it get the IP address; just "server::filename" won't, although I am considering changing that so that it uses the domain received via DHCP option 15

Please test this prerelease if you have a system on which 2.13 works but 3.0x doesn't. It's based on some of the stuff I have iterated back and forth with Nazo. Huge thanks to Nazo for trying a gajillion experiments and being very prompt returning results. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

The commit "linux.c32: move handling of mem= and vga= into the library function" also sets DEBUG to 1 in mboot.h. Is this intended? - Sebastian

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg.

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
