similar to: Final line of menu selectable even if it is disabled

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This series fixes some bugs and switches the elflink branch to be entirely ELF modules. It applies on top of, http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2011-April/016369.html The deletions in the diff stat below are mainly from deleting com32/elflink/modules (finally!). Now there should be no duplicate code because we don't need COM32 and

Hi, I was hoping you could shed some light in usage of the directive MENU HIDDENKEY in syslinux (extlinux 4.04) The docs say: MENU HIDDENKEY key[,key...] command... So, in my conf I have: MENU HIDDENKEY Esc openelec Where openelec is the label of the boot option I want to run only if Esc is pressed. But pressing Esc on boot has no effect. Default is run. So, do I misunderstand the

I have a need to display text to COM2 before loading a kernel. The easiest way to do this was to invade menu.c32 (menumain.c) and add a function to send the string out to the serial port just before the selected menu "label" is executed. In menumain.c, my function is called just before 'if (cmdline)'. The code I wrote to initialize the hardware and send individual characters

I am resending this message because I have not recieved any response back. I have found two bugs in the menu.c32 utility, part of the syslinux-3.08-pre5 build, and have a couple of requests. Problem 1: If you use the ^ symbol to define a number as a hotkey, ex. MENU LABEL ^1 Option #1 , the menu will not print the number highlighted. It will use it as a hot key, it just will not highlight it.

Hi. I'm having a problem with hashing passwords for use in the menu. If I specify plain passwords in my config it works file: Example: MENU MASTER PASSWD 1234567890 MENU PASSWD test123 However if I hash a password using the sha1pass script the resulting hashes don't work. MENU MASTER PASSWD $4$9qj4qv8g$HQ6Jl6TVrpign78XeofX2OLmfJo$ MENU PASSWD test123

Hello, Stumble upon this issue. If one define digits as hotkeys, the action is also taken for the non-reserved CTRL-P to CTRL-Y (also affect ASCII prior to digits). Here's a quick patch, quickly tested for action on uppercase/lowercase and digit and inaction on "matching" CTRL key. Regards, Dany *Sample config section* LABEL extra2 MENU LABEL ^2. Two # pressing 2 activates

The behaviour of the menu system is odd when an empty / not existing config file is specified: the screen is cleared but not even the menu frame is displayed. It seems to be a problem with run_menu() from menumain.c: if (top != prev_top) { draw_menu(entry, top, 1); display_help(me->helptext); } else if (entry != prev_entry) {

Hello, Here's a small enhancement feature for menu.c32. Looking for feedback before starting any coding (not sure when I'll have time for implementation) Regards, Dany St-Amant *Problem statement* When MENU HIDDEN is used on an headless server, any noise on the serial console can interrupt the boot; it would be preferable if there only specific keys were allowed to interrupt, reducing

Hello I'm using PXELinux with vesamenu.c32 to load a custom knoppix image I made and to allow access to the WDS menu. The problem is that the PXElinux loads the menu automatically (unlike WDS which asks the user to press F12 before loading the menu) and I want it to load only if the user presses F12 in 5 seconds. So I tried using the hidden function of the menu with the timeout option

This patch modifies the simple menu com32 program to include integrated load progress. It also adds new options to the simple menu configuration MENU LOADMSG -- allows the user to specify the text to display when loading MENU LOADMSGROW -- controls where the text is written Example configuration: MENU LOADMSG Booting MENU LOADMSGROW 25 It works with my setup, please let me know if you find

I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if you have had problems with 3.35. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I'd like to know if I can do that. Besides that, when I select the Drafts folder I get the "Mailbox isn't selectable" warning, and cannot save any drafts there so, how could I

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Since we can't use __intcall() for EFI, and since we can now have the ELF module code resolve all our symbols at runtime, we should delete as many references to __intcall() as possible and just access the symbols directly. The most interesting patch is the support for weak symbols. We need to be able to reference derivative-specific

I have a Dell 1435 system that will not respond correctly to a com32 call to Local boot Int 22h AX=14h DX = 0 This call should not return. It should unload the PXE+UNDI stacks and continue the boot process with the next boot device. This call is working fine for me on an HP DL360G2 and on a Dell PE 850. But, on this Dell 1435 the call is returning from the Int 22h. I am using syslinux 3.51
