From: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> COM32/rosh: Improvements; ls acts more like ls with -l -i and -F being understood; Lots of code clean up and user assistance. Clean up the MCONFIG file; Clean up the code to get it to pass checkpatch.pl (aside from confusion on multi-line strings); Add a little more in the error function to recognize different errors; Signed-off-by: Gene Cumm

Without further adieu, I would like to announce that I've finally pushed ROSH, the Read-Only SHell, finally to the point of being reasonably usable.

Just a status update on my progress with ROSH: I now have it able to compile as a COM32 and Linux ELF on the pathbased branch. The main reason I am using the Linux ELF is to test and compile a little easier and faster. At this point, it's approaching a stable, usable state. However, it depends on some changes to libutil, the main COM32 library, and the Syslinux core. I think I have the

After way too long, a new production release of Syslinux is finally available. Syslinux 4.04 is primarily a bug fix release, but with some new features. Changes in 4.04: * PXELINUX: Fix handling of unqualified DNS names. * PXELINUX: Fix timer bug when PXELINUX might be unloaded (Gene Cumm). * core/writedec.inc: Fix duplicate declaration and overflow

Here is a second version of my patch from last night. It uses the provided ctype function isspace and does the same readdir(). I remove the rosh_issp() function. I admit to being a bit liberal with my use of braces and spaces. We all of the habit of knowing we can invent a more perfect wheel. Let me know if you have any questions.

It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly: Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes in 4.03: * Don't hang if no configuration file is found. * Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass handover information. * EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about

Hey Guys, Below is a patch for the com32/rosh/rosh.c from tonights syslinx git. The patch does the following: 1) changes the rosh_issp to use an if instead of a case for this simple test. 2) changes the rosh_dir_arg function to move the readdir() to inside the while test. This will let me go through my APUE book. Let me know if you have any questions. Keith --- rosh.orig 2009-03-05

1) mk/syslinux.mk runs a shell to make a temp file gcc_ok.$$$$.tmp (perhaps in the wrong directory) while several Makefiles have an include rule for *.tmp which I believe is causing some occasional parallel build issues. make[3]: Entering directory `/home/gene/s/g/bios/memdump' gcc_ok.6333.tmp:1: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored gcc_ok.6333.tmp:1: *** missing separator.

I finally have a nice branch that should merge cleanly against the master head without unnecessary cruft. git://gnx.ath.cx/syslinux.git The branch, 'rosh_for_hpa', contains the updates. At the moment, I've fixed more's pagination and overflow on large screens. It also shows some version information about the operating environment and build environment. I've also made some

Well, here's the read-only shell (rosh) that I've been working on. It's functional but still quite rough. My primary intention of posting it at this time is such that people have an easy way to demonstrate to themselves that the library calls I made work. This should apply as a patch to the head of the "dir" branch and the patch for c_cflag/c_lflag. The patch is only

Well, I decided to get ROSH back out and try to get it functioning in Syslinux-4. As has been my habit, I first recompiled the Linux binary and tried it out. In the beginning of ROSH, it calls console_ansi_std(). When I was working on this in the past, using this function ensured both the Linux and the Syslinux/COM32 binaries function similarly. When using fgets() to get an input string in the

It has been observed that binaries contents are depending on the order of linked objects. This order is caused by GNU make's wildcard function and the position of sources on filesystem. This change tries to prevent this kind of randomness. Also consider building using -j1 flag to make it even more reproductible. Change-Id: Ie8eee7f336e6f1fa2863c4150d967afd15519f1d Bug:

Used rosh.c32 from syslinux-3.74-pre11. When I typed 'pzd' in the shell: > pzd /boot/syslinux > pwd /boot/syslinux I use an azerty keyboard. Due to that I typed 'pzd'. Is it a feature or a bug? Gert Hulsemans

All, Thanks for all your help. Now, I can compile the latest source code base on RedHat 5.5 after update nasm(to 2.09) and binutil(2.17). And *make spotless* before *make* under core/ directory. But with the new pxelinux.0, the PXEClient can not bootup. The error info, No valid file system found! And stuck in there. I think maybe the gcc cause the problem. My gcc version is 4.1.2. Thanks aaron

Sorry Gene, I got the version of binutils is 2.17. I download the latest Binutils to make the *objdump* and *objcopy*. with both of these utilities to create new pxelinux.raw. then, the error message shows me that, objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw ../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin ../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30165, max 0) make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

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.
