similar to: Syslinux 4.04 released

I have put a compile hack in for older distros and pushed it out as syslinux-3.62-pre16; for those who have reported compilation problem on older distros I would greatly appreciate if you could confirm if it works now (it worked for me on a CentOS 3.9 VM.) -hpa

Well, it has to happen at some point, so I have officially pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72. The big news in this release is of course the ISOLINUX hybrid mode support (a single image which can be booted either from a CD-ROM or from a hard disk/USB stick), but there are plenty of more goodies in here, including the label listing (not technically completion) on the Tab key. As usual, huge thanks to

Hallo, syslinux, I've just tried to compile syslinux 4.04 for slackware - it stopped when it tried to execute Entering directory `/path/to/diag/geodsp' ./mk-lba-img lba.img "strace" shows execve("./mk-lba-img", ["./mk-lba-img", "lba.img"], [/* 49 vars */]) = - 1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error) dup(2) = 3

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom logo for syslinux but keep bumping my head on the conversion to LSS16. The sample syslogo.png works fine so I decided to start with a known quantity by loading it into the Gimp. I cleared the canvas, color filled a blue background (0x000033) placed some yellow letters on the blue (0xffff00) and saved the file back out with the default compression. The

Trying again to get a last call for Syslinux 4.04. I really want to release it this week. -hpa

The following is the current change-log for Syslinux 6.03. The final stable version might include additional items. Before the final release, it would be helpful to receive feedback about: _ Any item that should be added or eliminated. _ Any item that should be edited in any way (rewording, technical details...). _ Any item that should not be included. _ Any credit that should be added /

git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git Branch diag-geodsp-for-hpa Numerous improvements, most notably that we no longer make 3 8MiB images during a build, the .img.xz files will stay untouched after a 'make clean;make' and use the program variables from MCONFIG. I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to have/simulate a prerequisite that is ignored when not present

I thougt somebody might like to know - I got a fresh copy of 4.04 from http://www.kernel.org/ - when building on a 32bit system, the build fails at first. I had to do a "make spotless" to get a successful build. make[2]: Entering directory `/home/per/workspace/syslinux-4.04/diag/geodsp' ./mk-lba-img lba.img ./mk-lba-img: ./mk-lba-img: cannot execute binary file make[2]: ***

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

Hi everyone, I have released Syslinux 6.03. It is by and large identical to 6.03-pre20. I would like to do a short cycle for 6.04, because 64-bit support for ext4 has come up as a very high priority. Therefore I do not want to stuff too many things into the 6.04 release but hold them for 6.05. Thanks to Ady for most of the changelog. Changes in 6.03: * chain: Fix chainloading on 6.02

Upon finding a different image conversion program, I have eliminated the Premature EOF problem that I had(apologies if I post this before the moderator approves my first post...you can ignore it if/when it shows up). Now, I am seeing the script complete with no error. I tested my syslinux.dpy file with the syslogo.lss file from the samples, and it's fine. The lss file I created, however,

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16. It is giving following errors. for .jpg file: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. for .png files: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. from .ppm file: ( I converted .jpg file in to .ppm file using irfanview)

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

Hi , I am using syslinux-2.04. I used the isolinux boot loader, to create a customized boot cd. As an add on to that process, i thought of displaying the product logo in the bootup screen. So as the document suggested i went on to create the lss from png. But it failed with following message. $ ~archives/syslinux-2.04/ppmtolss16 < ipm-white.pnm > ipm-white.lss './ppmtolss16:
