Ok, here is the first try to turn the gfxboot wrapper into a com32 module. I had to extend the interface to the gfxboot core a bit to get it working. So it works only with latest gfxboot from git://gitorious.org/gfxboot/gfxboot.git Steffen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

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

I understand the reasoning behind not integrating the dirty gfxboot patch into isolinux and pxelinux, but with many of the major distributions implementing gfxboot, it would be nice for a seamless boot interface across syslinux, isolinux and pxelinux so that the same menu file, look and feel, can be used to boot from the hard drive, USB thumb drive, floppy, or PXE. With isolinux being the primary

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.

Hello, I think I found another problem with gfxboot, and I think it is completely unrelated to the 'packed archive' issue. Again I tried using gfxboot with the Ubuntu gfxboot archive, this time with EFI64, using a real EFI-capable machine. I first verified that everything else actually works by commenting out 'ui gfxboot bootlogo' and got a working menu. Uncommented the line

Ubuntu CDs use multiple configuration files and the include directive as well as gfxboot, so it's useful for gfxboot to support these.

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
