similar to: SYSLINUX 3.82 released

Hi everyone, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81 to the usual places. Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time working on this stuff ;) -hpa Syslinux 3.81 is primarily a bug fix release. The main new features are halt-on-idle support and some features to isohybrid, including the ability to boot from an image written to a partition. Changes in 3.81: *

Hi, i am trying to document the MBR selection by isohybrid option --partok. I assume it is related to "altmbr.bin" as described in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Mbr But there i read "altmbr.bin [...] boots from a partition with fixed number, see below." The "see below" probably refers to "The altmbr.bin (all 3 variants) is only 439 bytes long, -- one

Hi, H. Peter Anvin: > It means that the .iso can be booted from a partition using any of the > standard MBRs (not necessarily altmbr), But the --partok MBRs (isohdpp*) stem from altmbr ? If so: don't they need the partition number patched in ? (If not: i have to rethink the link to article "Mbr" at http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Isohybrid#MBR_selection ) >

I'm putting Syslinux 3.82 on a short bug fix cycle. As a result, it will be based on the former for-3.81 branch (now renamed syslinux-3.8x) instead of the master branch. Fixed so far: Changes in 3.82: * isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition. * ISOLINUX: deal with systems which return from INT 13h with interrupts disabled. * Do not

3.80 is a bug fix and internal restructuring release. In particular, the entire shuffler subsystem has been rewritten largely from scratch, as has the Multiboot module. Changes in 3.80: * New shuffler mechanism and API. * Rewritten mboot.c32 module. * The syslinux_boot_linux() function has been simplified. * Don't hang trying to boot a "menu

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

Well, here it is. This is a historic Syslinux release -- it's the first one in 15 years in which the majority of the work was not done by myself; mostly because of the *huge* effort Erwan and Pierre have put in on HDT. I also want to give a special thank you to my new(ish) employer, Intel Corporation, for letting me continue to work on Syslinux. :) From here, onward and upward. I

Just achieved success using syslinux to multi-OS boot, including a WinXP System (boot) partition that's been encrypted with TrueCrypt (TC). You'll need syslinux version 3.81-pre13 or newer to get a working altmbr.bin file. I used: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/syslinux-3.81-pre13.zip Background: I started with a 'normal' multi-OS boot setup as

I made other tests. It's not a matter of Win98 versus WinXP, things change passing from tftpd32 v310beta to v3.33. This version seems to work fine, but the logs show problems.

Hi, i'm possibly not the best source of general SYSLINUX knowledge, as my interest in it is only with my xorriso hat on. (As you can see in the SYSLINUX wiki, xorriso can do the isohybridization without the need for the isohybrid program.)

I've attempted to understand what the isohybrid tool is doing, specifically with the "--partok" flag. As far as I can see, this essentially trims off the first 3 bytes of the custom isohybrid MBR image before applying it to the ISO. Can anyone explain how this enables the ISO to "be happy" on a partition, rather than whole disk? And does anyone have suggestions for what

Let's try to get this thing released. Dag: will you do your RPM buildathon on this drop? Changes in 3.74: * New UI directive, which allows a more natural way to specify a menu system (or not.) With the UI directive specifying the menu system, the DEFAULT directive can be used to select the default entry inside the menus. * kbdmap.c32: new module

Hi, I'm trying to use the altmbr.bin that came with 3.80 on an ATA IDE drive.

The following is a first attempt to list the current change log for Syslinux 6.03. The final stable version, whenever it will be released, might include additional items. I would appreciate feedback regarding: _ Any item that should be added. _ Any item that should be edited in any way. _ Any item that should not be included. _ Any credit that should be added or corrected. _ Any wrong or

Thanks for the clarification Thomas. Thomas Schmitt wrote: > (Did you already tell which partitions exist and in which one do you want > to put your ISO ?) I've tried a number of different structures, but the results are consistent (boots fine from primary partitions, not from logical partitions). For example for a disk partitioned like below: Disk /dev/sdc: 3.8 GiB, 4007657472
