I've written a patch to add option-key submenus to menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32 for doing things like changing the video mode. This was inspired the the patch that SuSE applies to the syslinux family and Grub, without the ugly pseudo-PostScript spaghetti. The patch may be found at http://www.valleyhold.org/~gordons/syslinux-optmenus.diff (it's over 30K, so posting it here didn't seem

Hi all, I have a question regarding the syslinux menu as used on the Ubuntu, Sabayon, ... live CD's. According to the syslinux documentation the function keys can be used to display a help file, but in the menu of these live distros the function keys are used to pick the resolution, language and keyboard.

Hi, I am using qemu for testing new versions of syslinux before installing on an embedded computer. Everything works fine under qemu (1.5.0), so I updated extlinux from 4.06 to 5.11-pre3 on the computer. I found that the autostart's timeout does not work. The timeout value is correct but nothing happens. It worked well with extlinux 4.06... I tried with extlinux 5.01, 5.10, 5.11-pre3 and

Hi Matt, Your patch fix this bug, thank you. I tested it with qemu and on a physical machine.

I sent this a few days ago, and it doesn't seem to have showed up in the archives... so I'm resending. I've written a patch to syslinux-3.60-pre2 to add gfxboot-like function key submenus, without the ugly pseudo-PostScript scripting nightmare. :) It still needs some debugging - it gets slightly confused if you hit a function key assigned to a submenu if you're already

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4. I have deferred the gPXE integration branch to a later release, since it looks like the gPXE folks are stalled on their end. Highly unfortunately, because it's cool stuff. What I *do* have, however, is support for a small amount of storage in the boot loader -- currently only implemented for EXTLINUX, but the infrastructure is there for all of

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 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 Unfortunately some of them are pretty out of date; I have done a first pass of touching them up, but there is still a fair bit of work that could be done.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

Hello, when I try to boot from my computer extlinux needs about one minute before the boot menu is shown.

I only found the debian bug tracker and I can't find any information about bugs on the homepage. Here is my

Add install_file_to_device() to support unmounted ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem. Usage: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block We don't need any new options, it will check whether the target is a directory or device and decide what to do, it would stop and error if the device is mounted. More info: * It will use libext2fs to read and write the file. * It will be used when the
