From: Raphael S. Carvalho <raphael.scarv at gmail.com> My commit 09f4ac33 broke 'com32/lib/syslinux/disk.c' __lowmem doesn't work for declarations outside the core. Using __lowmem outside the core wouldn't have the desired effect, then lmalloc must be used instead to store dapa into the correct section (".lowmem"). Reported-by: Dark Raven <drdarkraven at

This patch will improve the flow at disk_write_sectors and disk_read_sectors. It does that by creating a table of values respective to the operation. Besides, read and write operations are pretty similar to each other, so I redesigned the routines to avoid duplication.

eparam would only be used if EBIOS is available. If it is not, then there is no reason to allocate eparam.

This patch will improve the flow at disk_write_sectors and disk_read_sectors significantly, but it *will* introduce bugs if either of the above functions gets called before disk_get_params. --- com32/include/syslinux/disk.h | 21 +++++ com32/lib/syslinux/disk.c | 170 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 2 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) diff --git

Hi, I just pushed out changes that fix pretty much all the compiler build warnings on the elflink branch. Also, I've added "auto extension" support so that if the user doesn't type the file name extension it will automatically be looked up, e.g. now typing "ls" will execute "ls.c32". The following changes since commit

In Solaris 10 6/06, etc. I used to do things like pid$target::malloc:entry { ustack(); } and got stack traces from my application calling malloc as expected. In Solaris 10 8/07 I only see stack traces from functions inside libc calling a function called lmalloc() but not my malloc calls: ld.so.1`lmalloc ld.so.1`tsort+0xb4

hi I'm new to this, and already havin some trouble :( I tried to make my usb pen drive bootable with sysliux, but I got this message: syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem But I already formatted the usb pen drive int FAT16 fs with cfdisk AND with qtparted (in both cases I got the same message). Anyone that could help me about this?

Hello Marc I am having the same issue mentioned below. I ran the mkdosfs, and received the following: /dev/sdb contains a mounted filesystem Can you help?

i`ve found a bug in chain.c32 in v4.06. When i use isolinux it does not run windows7 installation, chainloading bootmgr. the error is: Can't find myself on the drive I booted from. chain.c32 from syslinux 3.xx works like a charm! chain.c32 from syslinux 5 shous tat this is not a com32 app

When chainloading one pxelinux from another (e.g., chainloading from say pxelinux 4.07 to pxelinux 6.02), can one pass parameters or somehow control the root directory and/or server IP address? Here's the need: we have a loaded-up PXE server working great under 4.07, and I'm not prepared to just switch the entire setup to a newer version of pxelinux, too many folks depending on a

In fact, this might allow us to install an automatic 'http' prefix on all subsequent requests, to avoid slow tftp --- or is that a bad idea, and/or is there a way to default all transfers to http without using pxechn and without prefixing

chain.c32 of SYSLINUX 3.82 does set the boot drive passed to the DL register to 0x80 and not to the boot drive (CD-drive). This can be a problem if you want to chainload grldr (grub4dos bootloader) from a CD and if you want to let grldr search for its menu.lst file on the CD.

Pulled common code out of these functions into new ones. The functions chs_setup and ebios_setup were created for this purpose.

Adding an option for initrdfile= boot argument to be ignored by wimboot worked just fine. They can add this patch, which is probably most sane, or syslinux could add the INITRDFILE configuration option instead of having to append the option for linux.c32 wimboot-2.4.0/src/cmdline.c @ Line ~107 } else if ( key == cmdline ) { /* Ignore unknown initial

I have a USB disk with syslinux files installed in /boot/syslinux, and the bootloader is installed into MBR or VBR I then extracted a *.iso file which uses syslinux as the bootloader, into root dir of the disk. The iso file contains a rescue OS or an OS installer. Now I got the directory /isolinux with files isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg in this folder I can now boot into syslinux, but *what to
