Hi, Can we for syslinux 4.05 look to improve the LUA scripting functionality ? Functionality we are looking for is: - accessing filesystem (ext2, fat) - alternatively, access network services (tftp, ftp, http) - creating menu's from LUA - alternatively, generating and reloading syslinux.cfg The use-case would be to create a lua-script that, on boot, can scan eg. a

Hi, I couldn't find any definitive answers from the documentation. Although older posts on this list were negative, it was supposedly not very difficult to implement and considered for syslinyx 4. So does multi serial support now work in syslinux 4 today ? If not, what does syslinux do if more than one serial directive is used in the configuration ? Use the last one listed ? Thanks in

Hi all, FOSDEM is coming and it would be nice if CentOS users and developers are present. FOSDEM will take place at 24 and 25 february 2007. (so mark those dates in your calendar!) I guess what we need is a wiki page about FOSDEM linked from some 'CentOS events' page and then people can start planning and indicating who's coming and what the topics could be. Since the developer

Hi, This must be a FAQ somewhere, although I am unable to find the answer quickly. We would like to have a bootable USB device offer the possibility to boot from the local disk. Unfortunately what happens when using 'chain.c32 hd1' is that GRUB works, but the GRUB configuration refers to it's disk as 'hd0', so booting an entry fails. One has to manually change 'root

Hi, As a packager of syslinux, I would like to get rid of the dependency of syslinux on Crypt::PasswdMD5, as it does not ship with RHEL/CentOS by default and therefor is an additional hurdle for people on those distributions to use a more recent syslinux. (I am also involved with the Rear project that relies on a more recent syslinux, and in various corporate environments need a recent

Hi, Since a --direct-io feature was requested a few times the past decade with little response and the actual patch is quite trivial, I patched both v3.0.9 and master branch and included the patches here. If this functionality is acceptable I don't mind spending the additional effort to update the documentation, etc. Beware that the underlying filesystem needs Direct I/O support,

Hey ! I am amazed to see that Peter is giving a talk about syslinux at FOSDEM 2009 in Brussels, BE. Finally ;-) Peter, are you joining the beer-event on Friday evening as well ?

Hi, For those attending FOSDEM either as volunteer or as a participant, we are looking for interesting presentations about CentOS. If you're interested for one or more topics, please contact me. The deadline for the proposal is Tuesday 23 january 2007. In our developers room (that we share with Fedora) we have about 6 slots of 50mins available that we can divide in 12 slots of 20mins if

Hi all, 3 weeks before lift-off we are looking for people who were planning to attend FOSDEM and are interested to join the CentOS team's presence. At FOSDEM we will have a booth and a developer's room. We are looking for people that: + can populate the booth for a few hours, socialize with people and answer questions + want to actively participate in the devroom discussions

Hi, I was wondering whether it is technically possible to go back from eg. DOS or Linux directly to the bootloader (instead of rebooting the hardware). We currently have 2 images (one DOS and one Linux) that need to be started before loading a system. They do things like disable PXE on NICs (using an Intel DOS tool), verify the correctness of the network patchings and validate if the

Hi, Working some more with the HDT command line interface, I noticed that the help (on a 25 line console) wraps around the screen. So the start of the help is missing. I was wondering if the help could not be better formatted for 80x25 in a future release (maybe listing options comma-seperated instead of newline seperated). -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/

HDT 0.3.3 has just been released. This release aims at solving some CLI bugs and adds a some new memory mapping detection. I'd like to thanks Dag Wieers for reporting many CLI bugs & pierre for his work on the memory mapping. Here come the changelog: - A new memory mode Memory items can be reached via the new "memory>" mode. - Memory mapping display Pierre did integrate

I think the Syslinux 5.00 branch is now at the point where I believe it it is feature complete and should be able to replace the main Syslinux branch. As such, it is important that we get wider testing, and especially that people let us know if and where it breaks. As of right now, there aren't any known bugs...
