similar to: GFXBoot & PXELinux

What?s the status of the Google Summer of Code?COM32 module implementation of GFXBoot?project? From what has been communicated to me, things have not gone as planned, and it?s currently in limbo.

The COM API provides a function to read from disk (int 22h, AX=07h) which needs a destination buffer aligned on a 512 byte boundary. gfxboot uses this function but doesn't ensure its data buffer is properly aligned. This leads to failures on a few machines (HP Pavillion dv5): gfxboot: isolinux: Disk error 09, AX = 424F, drive FE https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48814 has a bit more

Hello, I am currently trying to get the gfxboot archive from Ubuntu 12.04 working with gfxboot.c32 under BIOS, using ISOLINUX 6. AFAIK, the Ubuntu patches have been added in 4.03, and in fact it works with the official 4.05 release, but not with 5.10 or 6.01-pre5. I can tell that the menu is actually working, you just don't see it. If you navigate it "blind", the correct

I was able to solve the problem with the following configuration: label custom1 MENU custom1 kernel pxechain.com append ::custom1/pxelinux.0 label custom2 MENU custom2 kernel pxechain.com append ::custom2/pxelinux.0 configdir1/pxelinux.cfg/default configdir2/pxelinux.cfg/default Then I dropped the custom pxelinux.0 files in their respective directories, confgdir1 and configdir2.

Hello all, i announce you the gfxboot COMBOOT module which is written in assembler. Since i didn't find as much spare time as i have hoped last weekend it is far from complete. Nevertheless the module is able to interact with the bincode ([1] and [2]) in the bootlogo cpio archive from the openSUSE 10.2 mini cd. So far it is able to call the bincode gfxboot code and setup some menu entries.

While playing with the current master of Syslinux, I figured out two bugs I'd like to share with you. 1- Missing menu entires If you consider a file with the following entries, only the first item appears label mga32 kernel anything label mga64 kernel anything Looks like the number at the end of the label is giving some headaches to gfxboot. If I do rename this two entries by

Hi i use Debian and i think that the first screen i see when trying the Debian ISO file is ISOLINUX. This first screen is only in english it seems. I would like this screen to be in other languages so i can switch to my language. Any there and way to translate it or are any work being done to make it translatable? I see a warning on http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download

Using versions 3.53 and 3.54, I get that message with the following configuration file (which is under 8192 bytes) on a USB stick; it's the configuration file from PCLinuxOS 2007. It was originally named isolinux.cfg; I changed isolinux.* to syslinux* for booting from USB. There is no blank line at the end of the file. It works well with 3.11, but that version doesn't allow me to put all

Hello All, I am participating in the Google Summer of Code 2008. I am a student from India. I am interested in rewriting Gfxboot as a COM32 module.I am interested in syslinux because I used the ppmtolss16 perl script present in syslinux to create my own splash screen for a kiosk system which was built on Myslax(and isolinux was present too!!!). I am a newbie and have some basic knowledge of C. I

If the file size wasn't a multiple of 64KB, we could overwrite the next entry in the malloc arena so reading the initramfs would fail.
