similar to: SYSLINUX 3.60-pre6 released; help wanted

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

It seems that at least SYSLINUX 1.73-pre4 and -pre5 had some very serious bugs in it, so here is a SYSLINUX 1.73-pre6 to test out; don't be surprised if there are more in short order... :) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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 just released SYSLINUX 3.31. It is functionally identical to SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4. Changes in 3.31: * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. Changes in

Hi everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 2.00-pre6. The only difference against -pre5 is that I finally got around to fixing mbr.asm so that it produces a working MBR. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I will probably try to do a binary-only release of the COM32 port of newlib libc sometime this week. The only reason this will be a binary-only release is that the

This version adds Murali's "onerror" configuration directive. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix. Do you still want to see the output in order to check everything is OK, or you don't need it ? --------------------- Sylvain Faivre EdifiXio - AIH Team +33 1 56 90 51 24 www.edifixio.com > -----Message d'origine----- > De : H.

I have decided to make SYSLINUX 2.10-pre6 a release candidate. Please test it out if you can; if it works OK I will release it as 2.10 some time in the middle of the week. Thanks! -hpa

I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if you have had problems with 3.35. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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

Hi all, It looks like the announcement about 2.08-pre6 never went out... it is 2.08-pre5 with Murali's "onerror" command added. -hpa

This version cleans up the Ethersel (PCI config probing) changes I have been iterating with Alex Heinz. It's not the same code (so please test, especially Alex), but it should work the same. As before, if you have a machine for which 2.13 worked and 3.0x hasn't worked, please test this version too. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I think the Syslinux 5.00 branch is now at the point where I believe it it is feature complete and should be able to replace the main Syslinux branch. As such, it is important that we get wider testing, and especially that people let us know if and where it breaks. As of right now, there aren't any known bugs...

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.

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

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

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

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
