similar to: SYSLINUX 3.61-pre4 released, release candidate, bug fixes only

Okay, I have released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre4. This integrates Joel's MBR-writing patch into the Win32 loader; modified to a fair extent by me. God, the Windows API is uglier than hell. This will definitely be the last prerelease for a while, since I'm about to leave for the airport for the holidays. When I come back I plan to release 3.00, so please try it out and yell if there are

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre4, which is a release candidate for 1.75. Please pretty please test it out: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I'm working on some new stuff, basically COMBOOT+an API+32-bit support, which should make doing things like menus and other UI features very easy as separate modules. When that gets finished I'll probably

I have decided to promote SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 to release candidate status. If it tests out OK, it will become 3.31 some time next week, probably. -hpa

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.36-pre4; the main difference is a rewritten MBR which can boot from logical partitions. I plan to eventually submit that to be added into (s)fdisk in util-linux. -hpa

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

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre4, which is now a release candidate for 3.81. This version includes halt on idle, and so I'm very keen on getting this tested. -hpa

Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

Hi all, I have just released SYSLINUX 2.03-pre4; this is the same as SYSLINUX 2.03-pre3, except: a) I have -- I hope -- finally fixed the Perl scripts so they work in UTF-8 locales; b) MEMDISK now supports gzip compressed images. For those who have requested it... you should really thank me for the last one. It took quite a bit of work, mostly because I had to move the installer to be a

Yep, -pre4. I've had a massive cleanup urge and have been doing things like actually move common variables into the .inc files where they belong. This also means NASM 0.98.38 is absolutely required, since it uses those new features extensively. This release also contains code to compress label statements in memory, although it's not actually turned on yet. Once turned on it should

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4. I have deferred the gPXE integration branch to a later release, since it looks like the gPXE folks are stalled on their end. Highly unfortunately, because it's cool stuff. What I *do* have, however, is support for a small amount of storage in the boot loader -- currently only implemented for EXTLINUX, but the infrastructure is there for all of

Hi, I have the pre4-Version installed since today morning, and it's working fine so far. I have some quetion about it: How can I create a boot-Picture for the PXE-Stuff with Wi****s-Tools for example Paintshop Pro 5.03 ?? I already tried to load one of the Examples and saving the modified Pic back but it didn't work. I would love to have a blue background with white letters and red

hi i'm about to upgrade systems. yesterday i got https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/syslinux-6.04-pre3.tar.xz in order to upgrade 6.04-pre1 version. i first was upgrading a usb-disk which was booting smootly with a simple configuration. i changed the EFI installation in /EFI/BOOT: efi64/efi/syslinux.efi (UEFI bootloader for EFI X64 (x86_64) firmware) ?

Yet another test release for the rewrite in progress. This version generalizes the definition of a boot sector, and puts the boot sector code into all the modules, so that a CD-ROM "boot sector" (like WinNT uses) and a PXE NBP should now all be possible to chainload. PLEASE test it out, pretty please... I haven't heard anything from anyone since at least 1.73-pre2.

This version has the following changes: - It adds a MEMDISK installation check API (as Murali asked for) - It renames TIMEOUTCMD to ONTIMEOUT. I decided "ontimeout" was the best alternative, especially since I'm going to try to implement Murali's suggested "onerror", and it seemed to work well in combination. As usual,

This prerelease should hopefully fix the handing of "ontimeout" with a label in menu.c32. It also adds the "menu shiftkey" command (so far undocumented), which only displays the menu if Shift/Alt/Caps/Scroll is set. Note that means it's not possible to display the menu on a serial console! -hpa

Basically, more work on the graphical menu, and actual documentation for it. -hpa

I have tackled a major bug that affected sdi.c32 especially, but might at least theoretically have affected other formats as well. It *appears* to load the SDI image I managed to stitch together with XP Embedded Studio, but it doesn't actually boot neither on my system nor in simulation; then trying to upgrade it to SP2 caused it to corrupt itself, so I'm not all that keen to trying

Hello, I don't know what the problem is but when I try to set my NT workstation to use my Samba server (Solaris2.7) as a PDC, the nmbd process dies with the following entries added to log.nmb: [2000/04/17 11:06:29, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70) process_logon_packet: Logon from 147.197.206.8: code = 12 [2000/04/17 11:06:29, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(40)
