Attached are 4 patches against Syslinux 4.06 providing two new options for the linux.c32 ComBoot32 module. If we are shifting gears towards 4.10 or 5 any time soon, feel free to let me know and I'll attempt to apply the patches to those and to deal with any conflicts. You can merge these commits onto your 4.06 from my 'multi_initrd' branch at:

Does anyone think that it might be a worth-while effort to code a Syslinux variant which is a "Linux x86 kernel"-format binary and whose "initrd" is a simple cpio archive which will comprise the root filesystem? One can have a disk image with an MBR, partition table, partition, filesystem on that partition, SYSLINUX on that filesystem, config-file and modules in that

Folks, I've just spun a 4.07 prerelease. People were asking for a release that contained the commits that have been sitting in the master branch, and I've heard that distros are packaging the master branch just to get at them. --- Matt Fleming (4): extlinux: Avoid dereferencing a garbage pointer Merge branch 'searchdir_leak-406' of

In Syslinux-5.00, is the goal that the core and .c32 modules alike will use the same heap? There is a bug I am thinking about: - QEmu with 1024 MiB RAM - Syslinux 4.06 - .c32 can realloc() up to 1013 MiB - QEmu with 1024 MiB RAM - Syslinux 5.00-pre9 - .c32 can realloc() up to 45 MiB I am wondering if there's a maximum-allocation-size being hit, or if it's actually a bug I should look

Good day to you, too. No worries about the delay. I understand how busy everyone is with SYSLINUX. Gladly, the project continues to develop and improve. With that said, thanks for today's flurry of activity regarding my reported problem. Impressively, the debug version of MEMDISK that you had directed me to use appears to have done the trick. Results below. command line:

Same CD. Any Linux distribution without the 5.X series boots on this machine. We can use 4.06 and it boots just fine. It's not the computer's hardware. Like I said, we can take the CD out of the GX620 and place it in the 9010 and it boots. Put 4.06 on the CD, and they both boot.

For anyone wanting to boot an .ISO with MEMDISK: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andytim/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=ref s/heads/memdisk-iso NOTE: Your protected-mode OS (Windows, Linux, *BSD) booted from such a MEMDISK will not magically find the MEMDISK image in RAM and use it as a CD without a MEMDISK driver. There are currently 0 MEMDISK drivers in the field, but that might change someday.
