That doesn't seem like a good reason to keep the old code base alive... we need to reduce our support load. Steven Shiau <steven at nchc.org.tw> wrote: > >On 09/27/2013 02:37 AM, H.

Dear all, I packaged syslinux 6.03-pre9 on AMD64 Debian Sid, however, the problem is, I have problem to use it for PXE booting (BIOS mode). It always gives me "Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32". I am sure all the settings are correct because if I switch to the prebuilt syslinux downloaded from

Hi, Sorry for asking this again if this have been asked. I searched this mailing list but I can not find the confirmed answer. We tried to use syslinux to boot USB flash drive. The problem is, if we put the kernel and initrd in /casper directory, syslinux failed to boot, it showed us: ------------------ Booting error message: SYSLINUX 3.11 Debian-2007-03-12 EBIOS boot: /casper/vmlinuz1 Could not

Hi, I got "Floating point exception" when running linux/syslinux using syslinux 3.72. How to reproduce: 1.

First I would like to say thank you to HPA for providing some really nice features in recently syslinux version. About new functions, actually I have another radical idea, since we are in Asia, most of the users here they would like to see some local fonts for the syslinux/pxelinux menu. I am wondering is that possible, in the future, the syslinux/pxelinux menu can support CJK fonts or icon ?

I have an issue to boot iPXE with Syslinux 5.01. However, the same method works for Syslinux 4.06.

My bad, I meant version 6.02, not 6.2 Steven.

Deal developers, I'd like to follow the thread http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2013-April/019761.html but change the subject to 'pxelinux 5.10 and memtest86+ 4.20' and provide more test cases.

After switching to version 6.2, I am having a problem to use chain.c32 to boot a local disk.

Hi all, I have a similar issue with Thomas Mieslinger mentioned in the previous mail. The difference is here isolinux is used instead of gpxelinux.0. I use isolinux 3.85, and "chain.c32 hd0" to boot the local Debian Lenny Linux on VMWare workstation 6.5, it fails. If I replace it with isolinux 3.84, it works. Hope this report helps.

Dear all, Is uEFI support for PXELinux 6.0 alpha ready? It seems the uEFI boot alpha support is only for syslinux, not PXElinux? Or did I miss something? Thanks.

Hi. I need to create a lot of directories, just the same with remote's /var, but I only need the directories, the files inside those sub-directories in /var/ are not necessary for me. I know "find+cp" can do, but I would like to use the archive mode, i.e. I need the original permision, owner, group... Can I make it using rsync ? If so, please tell me how. Thank you in advance. --
