similar to: [5.10] serial console broken

Hello With 4.06 this works fine all times. But with versions 5.1x-preX and 6.0x-preX, 6.01) does not work, random errors or nothing shows (netconn_write error -5), random behaviour. Only few times works (1/50...). Note that retriving files via TFTP works perfect in all cases. This happens using pre-compiled files in tarball and building for source. # dnsmasq --port=0 \

Versions 5.01 and 5.02-preX works OK. Including known-working and known-broken versions like this is super useful, thank you. > Relevant directive is on top of syslinux.cfg: > >

Hello, First, this setup works fine without any error in syslinux 4.06 as show below. For convenience, both versions of syslinux 4.06 [#1] and 5.10 [#2] directories (~2MB each) are uploaded ready for test. As said before, this is tested on qemu-1.5.0 + dnsmasq 2.66 in Arch Linux @ 64-bit. If more info is needed, please let me know. Good luck! Relevant directory structure is at

Hello While testing PXE booting, I decided to change IPAPPEND to the new SYSAPPEND and does not work: nothing is appended to command line. I tested using menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32, same issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- SERIAL 0 38400 UI boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 LABEL arch64_nbd MENU LABEL Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) (NBD) LINUX boot/x86_64/vmlinuz

Hello Recently while playing with bigger iso images (>2G) looks like isohybrid from syslinux-4.02 fails. Sometimes tunning heads/sectors (-h/-s) works, because no padding is needed depending of size of the image. Some debug info provided, if more info is needed please just ask. # isohybrid -v pandereta-2010.09.13-i686.iso catalogue offset: 326 ve[0]: 1, cs: 1 ve[1]: 0, cs: 1 ve[2]: 25927,

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 just pushed out a 5.11-pre1 with a version of the patch that only changes the internal representation of PATH. Could

Hello Booting with 4.06 cmdline looks like: # cat /proc/cmdline archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201301 initrd=boot/i686/archiso.img console=ttyS0 BOOT_IMAGE=boot/i686/vmlinuz while using 5.01: # cat /proc/cmdline boot/i686/vmlinuz boot/i686/vmlinuz archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201302 initrd=boot/i686/archiso.img console=ttyS0 And this cause some issues for cmdline parsing, I
