Hi everyone, I have released Syslinux 6.03. It is by and large identical to 6.03-pre20. I would like to do a short cycle for 6.04, because 64-bit support for ext4 has come up as a very high priority. Therefore I do not want to stuff too many things into the 6.04 release but hold them for 6.05. Thanks to Ady for most of the changelog. Changes in 6.03: * chain: Fix chainloading on 6.02

Filesystem UUID shows the partition we boot kernel from. The kernel parameter has format like FSUUID=DA1A-0B2E. The SYSAPPEND bit is 0x40000. Now the FAT only supports FSUUID. The patch is based on 67aaaeeb228. Signed-off-by: Serj Kalichev <serj.kalichev at gmail.com> --- com32/include/syslinux/sysappend.h | 1 + core/fs/btrfs/btrfs.c | 3 ++- core/fs/ext2/ext2.c

The ext2 filesystem supports volume UUID now. The FSUUID variable can be set to kernel command line. Patch is based on FSUUID for FAT patch.

I have checked in a branch which removes the last vestiges of the INT 22h calls and the comapi. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work yet (we crash on trying to boot something), but if someone wants to take a look that would be useful. I suspect it is probably a relatively simple problem, but I don't know for sure. -hpa

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> The command-line parsing used to return a pointer to a local array. The code used to work by chance, but now, gcc 5 is able to detect it and return a NULL pointer instead. The buffer is now marked static. This shouldn't be a problem as only one command line can be read at a time. Signed-off-by: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at
