similar to: SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4 released

OK, 6.01 is now out. The main intention of this release was to fix the terrible bug in Syslinux 6.00 which made it impossible to boot kernels from BIOS. This resulted in a way shorter than usual release cycle, and it does mean that there are some bugs that have been reported that haven't yet been fixed. Shortlog appended below. Thanks to everyone who helped test things out. --- Gene Cumm

I have patched up the boot-once support added in 3.60-pre4 so that I now feel that it should be pretty safe it won't get invoked by mistake (famous last words, I know.) I have also pulled in the man pages from the Debian project. Unfortunately some of them are pretty out of date; I have done a first pass of touching them up, but there is still a fair bit of work that could be done. For

After 64 prereleases, 626 commits, 52,742 lines of changes, and tons of work by many, many people, Syslinux 4.00 is now officially released. Syslinux 4.00 is the first of a set of major code restructuring releases. The single biggest new features are btrfs and ext4 support, and support for disks larger than 2 TiB. Huge thanks to: - Intel, for sponsoring mine, Alek Du's and Feng Tang's

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've tried to compile syslinux under mandriva, and the compilation always bails out because it hasn't created win32/syslinux.exe. As far as I understand, the build will work fine on a Windows / mingw installation, but not Linux. I've modified my Makefile to remove the win32/syslinux.exe from the build, and it now builds OK. This happened on 3.3.6 and also on 4.0pre.

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

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

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

Okay, I have released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre4. This integrates Joel's MBR-writing patch into the Win32 loader; modified to a fair extent by me. God, the Windows API is uglier than hell. This will definitely be the last prerelease for a while, since I'm about to leave for the airport for the holidays. When I come back I plan to release 3.00, so please try it out and yell if there are

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.61-pre4, and am declaring it a release candidate. The intent is for 3.61 to be a bugfix-only release, with the one exception that I couldn't resist shaving off an additional few bytes off mbr.bin (36 bytes free now.) If I have missed any bug reports, please holler now. Otherwise I'd like to release 3.61 final in a couple of days. -hpa

Hi, I have the pre4-Version installed since today morning, and it's working fine so far. I have some quetion about it: How can I create a boot-Picture for the PXE-Stuff with Wi****s-Tools for example Paintshop Pro 5.03 ?? I already tried to load one of the Examples and saving the modified Pic back but it didn't work. I would love to have a blue background with white letters and red

Or a README or something. I don't read the CHANGELOG before building, I read whatever constitutes the installation instructions. I guess I'd read an FAQ if it doesn't work (now that I think about it, rpmbuild doesn't work on the SPEC -- suppose I should report that separately).
