Two additions to MEMDISK to support OS drivers. The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines") is a means for an OS driver to follow a chain of INT 13h hooks, examining the hooks'' vendors and assuming responsibility for hook functionality along the way. For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the physical address for the

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This series includes a patch (PATCH 1/6) that I sent previously but I thought it was worth sending it again since the rest of the series depends on it, and it also gives a bit of context. These cleanups make it simpler to do the big switchover to ELF modules on the elflink branch because the libraries in $LIBS are now contained in one

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> Move the MCONFIG files into a mk/ directory and give them more descriptive names. This is purely a cosmetic change to make the 'include' directives a bit more coherent by making it obvious exactly which MCONFIG file we're including. For example, in com32/lua/src/Makefile we exchange the line, include ../../MCONFIG for the

This is an attempt to avoid potential confusion. Here are some example sizes for the two Syslinux versions mentioned in the e-mail subject.

I tested the memdisk-acpi branch with following results: - Bochs The BIOS provides a RSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT, FACS, APIC, SSDT. memdisk-acpi is able to hook the SSDT. - VMware The BIOS provides a RSDT and XSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*) and XSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*). Tables marked with an asterisk (*) are

After 64 prereleases, 626 commits, 52,742 lines of changes, and tons of work by many, many people, Syslinux 4.00 is now officially released. Syslinux 4.00 is the first of a set of major code restructuring releases. The single biggest new features are btrfs and ext4 support, and support for disks larger than 2 TiB. Huge thanks to: - Intel, for sponsoring mine, Alek Du's and Feng Tang's

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

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

Hi, I am trying to create a hybrid ISO image for FreeBSD 9.2 using syslinux 6.01 and isohybrid.pl I found at http://www.overclockix.com/sources/isohybrid.pl (I know there is a C version in syslinux but I haven't been able to build it yet due to the UUID library being different to the one in FreeBSD). According to the wiki mboot.c32 can boot FreeBSD, however I haven't been able to get it

Hello, I poked a little bit to extract the list of modules dependencies in Syslinux v6 (see below). I have attached a bash script that generate a nice table from the tarball. The output can either be an ASCII table, or wiki markup, typically for the page Library_modules[1]. I am not in the wiki Editor group, so I can't put that in the wiki. anyway, here's an updated dependency tree for

A very special thanks to H. Peter for finding the time to [at least partially, if not wholly] scrutinize and merge the El Torito emulation code for MEMDISK! I'd like to ask that those who've previously used the stale MEMDISK-ISO switch to this latest[1] MEMDISK proper and report any failures. Gert, I believe this version addresses the PloP .ISO trouble you reported. Could you

Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new TCP stack. > >>

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is
