Hi, Yes, I'm back with this pet peeve of mine again. Most of the old cover letter at https://gist.github.com/wferi/6989458 still applies; I'd like to reiterate its last paragraph here, too: > And an official stat() implementation would be very useful. After > inventing mine, I noticed rosh also invented its own... Anyway, here it is: The following changes since commit

Testing Syslinux 6.03-pre13 in a BIOS 32-bit VM, boot: vesa.c32 Undef symbol FAIL: luaL_checklstring Failed to load COM32 file vesa.c32 boot: Is there a Lua-related issue? Is vesa.c32 expecting some kind of argument? TIA, Ady.

Hi, Try running menu.c32 from Syslinux 4.06 under qemu -vga none without disabling console output, for example: SERIAL 0 SAY ls menu LABEL ls COM32 ls.c32 LABEL menu COM32 menu.c32 This invocation works well: $ qemu -hda extlinux.img -serial stdio But this fails after invoking "menu": $ qemu -hda extlinux.img -serial stdio -vga none Syslinux 5.xx and 6.xx does not exhibit this

I am a developer from the 'Frugalware Linux' distribution. I have been trying to use the syslinux lua module to support more dynamic menu generation at runtime for our distributed ISO images, as Grub2 is not very configurable for this. For example, I need raw access to the PCI bus information to configure the video output kernel boot parameters for specific hardware. Specifically,

We are doing a deployment across many sites, we're doing one site at a time and we're bringing a "mobile server" (a laptop, really) to keep traffic local instead saturating the WAN link of each site. I'd like to make a script so each client can determine if the mobile server is on the same subnet either with a ping with a zero TTL value, with the ip/netmask and a bit of
