Hello, At the boot prompt ALLOWOPTIONS 0 is only applied to implicit kernels and not to labels. For configuration which want to allow selection, but prevent customization of the kernel command line, this behaviour is bad. Also the IMPLICIT 0 is applied to both the boot prompt and configuration setting (like DEFAULT); but one could argue that only the command supplied at the prompt make sense to

Hello I want to fallback to a second boot entry, if the kernel is missing for the first entry. So I through I could use ONERROR, but syslinux just continue to try starting the first entry. Am I doing something wrong? or can't this be done with syslinux? default menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU HIDDEN MENU AUTOBOOT TIMEOUT 2 ONERROR live-generic label grub ??? menu label ^Grub ??? menu default

In Syslinux 5-6.02, the "global append" directive is being (unintentionally) ignored in some cases. Updating Syslinux from prior versions, when using a "global append" directive, will cause unexpected results. For example, take the following simple configuration file: *** DEFAULT mykernel APPEND root=/dev/sda2 *** Note that the 'append' line is a global

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

Hello Syslinux Team, I have some suggestions / requests regarding global APPEND commands. These would make the behavior more consistent and more useful for practical cases. 1_ Add some functionality equivalent to "APPEND -" to the command prompt. 2_ Activate the functionality of ONERROR from [vesa]menu.c32 too. Currently, ONERROR only works from the command prompt. 3_ Add a new

Hello, i would like create a bootdisk , that can be boot from Old BIOS, EFI32 and EFI64. But for EFI Boot there is only one directory /EFI/BOOT/ In this directory I can copy BOOTia32.EFI and BOOTx64.EFI. But the *.c32 files for EFI32 & EFI64 , I can install to this directory at the same time. Is there a way to load the *.c32 from different directory ? Or is there a other solution ?

Hi, I'm successfully using PXELINUX for booting several flavors of Linux using the LABEL/APPEND syntax in the config file. But I don't want to allow the users to append additional kernel command line arguments like "init=/bin/sh". Scanning the docs and the mailing list archive I could not figure out how to do this. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks, Thomas

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This is a series of patches that, * shrink the core by moving things into an ldlinux ELF module * begin wiring up some of the C versions of various functions The core now only contains essential code and loads the ldlinux module to do everything else, like providing a command line interface and loading kernels.

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hello, I am using lpxelinux.0 (latest stable version 6.03, using the official binaries from kernel.org) to kickstart servers as http transfers really helps over links with poor latencies... These servers are being booted in legacy mode, not in UEFI. This has worked very well until recently. Starting with RHEL 7.5, on some servers, we would see the machine rebooting while pxelinux is in the

Hi I have a weird early boot bug that most likely happens because of interaction between syslinux (6.03pre18), btrfs and initram generated by Linux Arch installer. For some reason boot fails. Syslinux prints some information and returns back to the menu. Unfortunately it clears all the messages from screen. I really want to know what boot process prints there. Looking at

Hi, I'm seeing a problem on my system where the PXELINUX (and also the ISOLINUX) keep on prompting me the "Initial menu has no LABEL entries!" message, when vesamenu.c32 or menu.c32 is executed. After some investigation, I found that the global cm used in menu_main before it is initialized, and hence it carries a NULL value. I manage to get my system to display the menu after I

Hello everyone I'm new to using menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32. I have used the original method of using pxelinux menus. I've read the wiki page and it speaks of being able to create submenus by making one of my menu options reference to (vesa)menu.c32 as the kernel and append the config file. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly it was a little over simplified. Any help would be
