Hi everyone, I have pushed out a development preview release of Liu's filesystems in C code (including ext4 support for EXTLINUX). It is called 4.00-pre1, which doesn't mean it is the final 4.00 by any means (it isn't even current with respect to some aspects of the 3.8x branch.) However, it is now available for people to try out. It is checked into the fsc branch

Could we just activate FTP on gpxe ? I did a trivial patch for enabling it on top of 3.72-pre1.

SYSLINUX 3.30-pre1 is very cool! Is that possible we can use SYSLINUX 3.30-pre1 in pxelinux ? I just tested that, put the configuration file as: ---------------------- default vesamenu.c32 timeout 70 prompt 0 noescape 1 MENU BACKGROUND sample.png ... label sample MENU DEFAULT # MENU HIDE MENU LABEL pxe-client # MENU PASSWD kernel vmlinuz-pxe append initrd=initrd-pxe.img

Network UPS Tools version 2.0.3-pre1 has been released. http://www.networkupstools.org/

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.11-pre1; it's pretty much completely untested :) This adds the API call to get the configuration file name. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

The Windows recovery console doesn't work with chain.c32 3.85 or 3.86-pre1. COM32 chain.c32 APPEND cmldr=/cmldr Initially reported by cdob at: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10487#entry94001 It did work fine with the: "chain.c32: Handle nonlinear logical partitions" patch.

Hi all, I have released syslinux-3.10-pre1. This is definitely not a release candidate; I haven't finished putting the bugs in yet never mind taking them out (or in manager-speak: it's not feature-complete yet, never mind debugged.) However, I figured it'd be interesting as a technology preview. The main new things are that I am adding support for dynamic initramfs

Please try this version out if you are using floppies to boot, and *especially* if you have observed either of the following two problems: a) "booting with syslinux without -s takes forever" b) "booting with syslinux without -s doesn't work, -s works" Changes in 1.75: * ALL: NASM 0.98.32 or later is now required to build NASM from sources. *

I have released what should best be described as "an early prototype" of SYSLINUX 2.00. SYSLINUX 2.00 adds an API for COMBOOT images, plus adds a 32-bit equivalent I call -- amazingly enough -- "COM32". I'm mostly releasing this for comments -- especially on the API design. It has been only trivially tested, so don't blame me if it breaks (send me a bug report

This isn't strictly speaking a SYSLINUX release, it's a change to MEMDISK and mkdiskimage to allow the creation of hard disk images with DOSEMU headers. This should make it easier to create bootable DOS hard disk images under DOSEMU. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I have released a SYSLINUX 2.03-pre1 which I'm hoping will fix the following problems some people have reported, both in PXELINUX: a) 2.00-pre15 works, but no later version; b) localboot doesn't work. If you have either of these problem, please test this release. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

It seems that 2.03-pre1 resolves PXELINUX problem on a reasonable number of hosts. Perhaps somewhat importantly this seems to include the RBFG PXE boot floppy, which did not work with 2.02. This was somewhat of a surprise, since it didn't exhibit the failure mode that I would have thought would have been the trigger of the bug. Instead, it was one of those stacks that would transmit packets

I just released SYSLINUX 2.04-pre1. I happened to find that due to a complete miss on my point all the SYSLINUX derivatives were allocating 104K of low memory and never actually used it. It made it a lot more compelling to blow the memory on buffers necessary to support large blocks in PXELINUX. I've also resurrected the non-mtools SYSLINUX installer, although as a root-only installer.

Okay, I have finally become convinced that hardware address based config files should be a standard feature in PXELINUX, so I have added it. I am a bit worried that it might not work with all DHCP servers (since I'm trying to do this in a hardware-independent manner), so I'd appreciate feedback. This adds one more name to the list of names queried for the config file, before the IP-based

I installed syslinux-2.05-pre1 this morning and modified my server program to set up pxelinux.cfg files with the MAC address in the file name. I have run several tests with multiple clients and I haven't found a problem. Thanks very much for answering my "wibni" before I even got around to asking out loud. Derek Tattersall EFI Test

Hi all, I have put out a SYSLINUX 2.09-pre1 release, mostly to support Murali's menu development: Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. As usual,

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.12-pre1. This version has an initial version of libcom32, a small C library based on klibc for writing com32 programs in C. It is far from perfect yet, but it should be a lot easier to use than hand-coding everything. As usual, find this stuff in: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
