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:

Improving chain.c32 help message Impact: Error message is more detailed In case of syntax error, the message is far more detailed and provides the same content as the documentation integrated in the source code.

Hello all. Here[1] is a branch where chain.c32 can chain-boot a partition on a GPT disk when given the partition index. boot: chain hd1 84 (For example.) - Shao Miller [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ chain_gpt

Hi there, i just build a new ipxelinux.0 with an EMBED=../../syslinux-5/core/pxelinux.0. i'm trying to load up my vesamenu.c32 menu from http:. and offcorse i want this as optimal as possible, with the least needed GET requests. OLD situation with v4: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp) -> menu.php (http) -> vesamenu.c32 (http) NEW situation with v5: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp)

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

I've been testing the CONFIG directive and config.c32 module and I've found a possible issue. It seems to ignore the directory of "/" but can otherwise go up and down a directory tree perfectly. Executing COM32 chdir("/") does seem to work. Also, I noticed that the config file name is relative to the old present working directory (herein pwd) and not the new pwd

Hello, all. I'm just wondering if it'd be possible to include symbol-stripped versions of win32/ntfstest/ntfstest.exe and win64/ntfstest/ntfstest.exe in future Syslinux releases. That way, users could use it while not burdening folks just doing a usual build of Syslinux. If not (scope creep?), no problem. - Shao Miller

hi everyone. i have a small tftp/pxe server i use to install different OS's without having to burn countless cd's (not all the machines i work on support usb boot). until recently, these were mostly linux/bsd-based systems (plus freedos). recently i've been trying to deploy a network-based windows installation, by booting windows pe (3.1, the one based on win7) with memdisk and from

Suppose...: - For non-releases: "git" + We take the first 6 chars of git commit - For releases: "ver" + major + "." + minor - For tar-balls: Something clever, maybe involving the date ...that we embed such a version in Syslinux core and in all OS programs and modules. Maybe even with some nearby magic so that a "whichver" command can examine and answer.

What about using linux.c32?? It has some special initrd features, which someone has very kindly documented: ? http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Linux.c32 Shao Miller Synthetel Corporation W: https://www.synthetel.com

New module which check if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook: mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes ' jz

The program name of the module can't be retrieved with argv[0]. I tested it by running cat.c32 (com32/samples/cat.c32). In Syslinux 3.85, argv[0] returns an empty string.
