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

Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

HDT 0.3.2 is out and mainly add a better disk management My previous work on disks was a little bit limited and incomplete. Since pierre did a massive rework that allow hdt to feature disks & partitions detection. On the menu side, the "Disk" menu is now extended to show disks' partitions. On the cli side, we now have more commands : hdt> show disk This command will show a

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

Hey dag, [...] I don't know if you saw it, we just created HDT's mailing list, if you want to join us, would be nice ;o) At least, I put the list on CC. > * The Chassis View has as Asset Tag something like > " Sa" > when highlighting I see it says " Safe" Fixed this morning by this commits :

Hi Erwan, I finally reviewed the latest HDT 0.3.6 on a few systems (IBM x3650, hs20 and VMware 3.5 guests). = IBM x3650 On the IBM x3650 (using a remote web-based KVM solution) the window blanking (cleaning a window with black before rewriting it with gray/blue content) is very noticable. It would be less of a problem when the window would not be cleared (or at least not with black :-))

Hi, I was looking for a way to have a submenu go back to the previous menu when you use Escape inside the submenu. Or to return back to a menu when you return from a com32 entry (eg. kbdmap, hdt or rosh). I had hoped something like this worked: ---- default bootlocal prompt 1 label menu menu hide kernel menu.c32 label bootlocal menu hide localboot -1 menu begin main menu

The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out. Gert was a great source of motivation for making that -pre2. He found many bugs and gave nice ideas. Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests. This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming syslinux 3.84. Since -pre1, here come the Changelog * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu

It is now possible to build a bootable floppy image which contains HDT, with my patch applied to Erwans HDT branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=16b37fe2266c920087f88cdec94243b71218d871 Unpack the Syslinux archive and build whole Syslinux first, then cd to ./com32/hdt/ and make hdt.img $ make $ cd ./com32/hdt/ $ make hdt.img Now you have a 2.88 MB floppy image which

Hey, The HDT project is more and more active and tend to bring new releases as often as possible. We are on a good track for releasing HDT 0.3.5 in a few days. Beside of that, we are trying to give this project a dedicated identity. The first step is having a 'cool' logo that represent HDT. This work will lead to - give some shine on our website (http://hdt-project.org) ;) - a

HDT is currently starting a new beta cycle before achieving the 0.5.0 release. This is a pretty big step for HDT as it features a highly requested feature aka Dumping. Dumping allow users to export the result of the detection to a TFTP server. All the details and the links to download it can be found here : http://www.hdt-project.org/wiki/Dump I really appreciate to have feedbacks on it

The -pre2 release of HDT 0.3.5 is out. The changelog from the previous release is : - Adding pci.ids in the hdt.iso - Fixing misdetection of Syslinux & Grub MBRs - 'make hdt.img.gz' now generates a gzipped version of the floppy image - Fixing some typo - Adding & enhancing SMI detection - Resetting cursor position when exiting the menu mode - Inactive items are now brighter to

Just a quick note to tell that I did release HDT 0.5.0. Main feature of this release is the dumping of the detected components over TFTP (meaning PXE is _mandatory_ to work). I did fix also the auto mode where more combinations didn't worked as expected. I invite people reading this page that speaks about the dump feature : http://www.hdt-project.org/wiki/Dump But also, this one which

Dear developers, Thanks a lot for designing HDT. It is really a great tool to have. I have come here to know more about the usability of HDT. HDT is called by syslinux. What to do if I like to call it by grub2 ? and what to do if I like to run within my debian box ? Thanks

Hey peter, Please consider pulling git://git.zytor.com/users/erwan/hdt.git to get the latest update about hdt. It features - sleep command - display command to change the background images - cleaning the sleeping method for say command This commits will help the FGTC project getting hdt closer to their need. Cheers, Erwan

Hi all, I have just released Syslinux 3.83. Special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time on this. It is somewhat of a meager release despite four months, as most of the work has gone into the future-work branches. -hpa Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. *

Hello, I'm not quite sure I understand how do you use HDT for dumping over tftp server. The wiki on dumping does not offer much details on how to set this up. >From my understanding is you need to run pxelinux somewhere but being that HDT is a bootable cd ISO, I don't see how I can get HDT up from a TFTP server without the need to install something on that TFTP server. Is there a more

Hi Yeah I ended up figuring it out My usage for the tool will be to gather hardware specs of new servers that we receive and servers we have in storage I will then see if I can script something to phrase the dumps to update our inventory tool. Our main issue is that gathering information manually by opening the server and having to locate each parts is time consuming and being humans we are
