Hi all, I have pushed out one more 4.03 prerelease; please help checking or testing it as I'm about to push a 4.03 out really soon. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.

Hi. I am currently using EXTLINUX 4.03 in my PC. i wanted to upgrade it to extlinux 5.01. I copied the extlinux binary to my LINUX PC but extlinux binary doesn't work. The isue is the extlinux 5.01 requires GLIBC 2.7 where as the linux GLIBC version i have is 2.5. Please suggest how to run extlinux 5.01 on my linux (2.6.35.6)? Regards, Seetaram

It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly: Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes in 4.03: * Don't hang if no configuration file is found. * Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass handover information. * EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about

Hi, I'm trying to boot 64bit version of syslinux.efi through network. But booting is freezes with following message: Getting cached packets My IP is X.X.X.X the last file that was requested through tftp is syslinux.efi. I'm using precompiled binary from official syslinux-6.02.tar.gz. Here is the dump in ASCII - http://brom.in/dumps/syslinux-20131220.txt Any help is appreciated.

Hi, Is anyone compiled a new pxelinux.0 with syslinux code 4.03? right now, I got a error in compiling this version code, objdump -h pxelinux.elf > pxelinux.sec perl lstadjust.pl pxelinux.lsr pxelinux.sec pxelinux.lst objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw ../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin ../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30197, max 0) make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin]

Trying to get at least my backlog of bug fixes out... I'm hoping to do a 4.03 next week. Please help by: a) giving it a whirl; b) letting me know if I have missed any low-risk bugfixes. Gene: I did not include your UI branch in this release, because it made me a bit nervous... poke me on IRC when you have a chance. -hpa

Hello Anvin. Thanks a lot for you respond. But it`s not help. I get error : netconn_write failed: -5 even if I use ip address. http://10.5.9.127/.... Looks like HTTP protocol is not working.

Folks, I've just pushed out another prerelease for the 5.00 branch. The idea behind this -pre was to merge in the final 4.06 release. I'm aiming for a final 5.00 release next week, but as we saw with the 4.06 branch, anything can happen and these deadlines can get pushed backwards. Please, test if you can. One thing that is going to happen next week is a Syslinux-6.00-pre1, which will

Sorry Gene, I got the version of binutils is 2.17. I download the latest Binutils to make the *objdump* and *objcopy*. with both of these utilities to create new pxelinux.raw. then, the error message shows me that, objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw ../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin ../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30165, max 0) make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

All, Thanks for all your help. Now, I can compile the latest source code base on RedHat 5.5 after update nasm(to 2.09) and binutil(2.17). And *make spotless* before *make* under core/ directory. But with the new pxelinux.0, the PXEClient can not bootup. The error info, No valid file system found! And stuck in there. I think maybe the gcc cause the problem. My gcc version is 4.1.2. Thanks aaron

Folks, Finally, Syslinux 5.10 has been released. This release includes a merge of the 4.10 development branch, which means that there's a new network stack availble, based on the lwIP embedded TCP/IP stack. The jump from the previous 5.01 release to 5.10 may be a little confusing, but a new network stack is such a large change that it deserved a significant bump in the version minor number.

I think there may be a misunderstanding here. Are you saying that when installing ldlinux.sys + ldlinux.bss v5.01 on a FAT filesystem, the installer needs

Hi folks, Syslinux 5.01 is out, a week later than predicted but that's largely down to the realloc() bug described below. This release is mainly a collection of bug fixes for problems reported after people tested Syslinux 5.00. The NEWS entries are included at the bottom. There was a pretty nasty realloc() bug that took some time to find and fix, which resulted in memory corruption. There

Hi! I'm not a programmer, so I will try and be as clear as I can. I currently have an Acer Aspire One which has issues with syslinux 4.06 When I try and make a usb bootable install key using common automated programs under windows (Universal USB installer from Pendrivelinux, LiLi and unetbootin), they all fail when booted on the netbook. Now, I know it's an issue with syslinux for many

Hi folks. I'm not very well versed in linux (although I understand the basics, having used unix quite a bit - albeit a long time ago). I've decided to make the break from windows, and I'm trying to learn something along the way. So, I have a Dell Vostro 200, Core 2 Duo, shipped with no OS. I decided to try the Live USB approach to get started. The first step, of course, is to
