git://gnx.ath.cx/syslinux.git On branch for_hpa, I've made the changes to resolve the issue noticed by Gert Hulselmans and confirmed as a bug by hpa and also show "-d" in the extlinux installer. (2 separate commits) -- -Gene

Here is the patch for making syslinux enable opening partitions with fat filesystems (well, the architecture is in place to make it open other filesystems too). Usage is like this: #include <syslinux/io.h> #include <syslinux/partitions.h> #include <fs/fat/libfat.h> syslinux_devdesc dfd; struct libfat_filesystem* fs; diskinfo disk_info; char mbr[512]; static part_entry

git://gnx.ath.cx/syslinux.git On branch for_hpa, I've got an extension of com32/modules/chain.c that introduces a new option, drmk=, for loading the Dell Real Mode Kernel file DELLBIO.BIN in a total of 5 commits. Again, thank you Gert Hulselmans. -- -Gene

Hello syslinux, Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block Also it can work with something like: $ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv or $ extlinux file_block --reset-adv We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in use), it will check whether the

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

Dell has an ISO image (Dell version 5061A0, A5061) available here http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R102625&fileid=132637 which contains an ISO with an hard disk image and no-emulation boot. I've estracted the hard disk image (size=2048000) and I'd like to boot it with isolinux. I tried kernel memdisk append initrd=dell5061.img The Dell/Dos os

DRMK (Dell Real Mode Kernel), now used in their DOS-based diagnostic images (probably about 2-4 years), has a rather unusual entry into the IO file (DELLBIO.BIN; similar to IO.SYS and IBMBIO.COM). After fumbling around with it over the last few days, I _think_ I've figured out the quirks of this entry point (and successfully tweaked chain.c32 to do such). dl Usual; drive number bp 0 cs

Three commits at my "for_hpa" branch (not derived from any old for_hpa branch you might have). Briefs are below.

The variable 'ok' is never used and generates a warning. Remove it. Also ntfssect.c is designed to be compiled in non Unicode mode when using MSVC compilers, so remove all ambiguity about it (LPCTSTR -> LPCSTR, use of 'A' API calls) so that it doesn't break when compiled in Unicode mode, which is what Rufus uses with MSVC. -------------- next part --------------

Hi all, I would like to release Syslinux 4.02 TODAY. If there is anything I'm missing, or which is wrong in Syslinux 4.02-pre3, please scream loudly NOW... -hpa

When trying to installing Syslinux on a FAT32 drive formatted using Ridgecrop's Large FAT32 formatting tool [1], the installer will bail due to the minfatsize check, as there is an extra sector being used. This fix addresses that. [1] http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm -------------- next part --------------

Hi list! Sometimes I need to make boot floppies for an i386 based Linux router. Just for interest, I tried to use syslinux together with my iMac G4 (PPC) with Yellow Dog Linux to create the floppy. I know that this is generally difficult because it requires cross- compiler and cross-assembler. Nevertheless, I tried it because I only needed the disk installer, the loader binaries for i386

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Hi all, I have pushed out one more 4.03 prerelease; please help checking or testing it as I'm about to push a 4.03 out really soon. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.

This is a continuation to the library creation effort for syslinux. I added the necessary ops required to read partitions and sectors off the disk. I'm using it with my com32 module. I did change the interface for read_disk a bit, so it takes a disk_info argument. This way I can maintain multiple instances of read handlers, for example if I'm reading and comparing stuff from two different
