Hmm, yes. The series is available at https://github.com/wferi/syslinux as well (lua52 branch, based on upstream

Is there a way to show some bits of information in the menu, like Syslinux version, MAC address and IP address? When the menu is loaded at startup, this information is quickly erased and is not easily readable. -- Alexandre Blanchette <blanalex at gmail.com>

Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

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

Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

Using that, load_file could be implemented in Lua as: that does work, yes. It just looked like a file object should have a some way to get the contents.

Hi, I hit a rather strange problem. I'm PXE booting an IBM Blade. It has a BMC which provides serial over LAN via the BladeCenter management module. Its BIOS has a "Console Redirection" option, which dumps its VGA console messages to a serial port. "Redirection after Boot" is disabled, but pxelinux runs "before boot", so everything arrives twice on the serial
