similar to: chain.c32: hiding partitions

Hello. We've been using a very old version of SYS-/PXELINUX, 3.36, going by the proven "if it works, don't break it" philosophy. We us it mostly to load floppy disk images to kick off OS installations. Unfortunately we've recently had some PXE menu problems (USB keyboard stopped working) for a certain Fujitsu PC model, and decided to upgrade to the latest version, i e 3.84.

I just uploaded SYSLINUX 3.72-pre7. I'm hoping this will be the final 3.72 prerelease. Please test it and holler if something is (still) broken. -hpa

[back story]: I want to convert a non-iso customized Solaris install image (for USB flash stick) to an isolinux hybridized bootable iso image ... since the Solaris installer uses grub out of the box, my first approach was to chain load grub from isolinux (this isn't strictly material to the problem, just trying to avoid the "why on earth would you do that?" responses ;-)

I've been working with Matt Burgess here on this problem, and have found the following: syslinux 3.08-pre10 ? broken >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=255 syslinux 3.08-pre11 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.08 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre1 ? works >>> config.inc:max_cmd_len=1023 syslinux 3.09-pre2 ? broken

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.71-pre15. This version officially begins the release candidate stage of SYSLINUX 3.71. To be honest, I'm a bit baffled that the numbers got that high for what has always been intended as a maintenance/bugfix release, but those 15 prereleases only correspond to 55 commits total, so I guess it's really not that much. -hpa

Booting from a logical partition failed with the "Requested logical partition not found" error due to a wrong test for partition signature in find_logical_partition().

Another prerelease for the 5.00 (elflink) branch should be making its way to the mirrors now. The shortlog for -pre7 to -pre8 is listed below. Just like the 4.06 branch I was really hoping to drop a final release this week. Once 4.06 is out I'll merge that into 5.00. If you can, please test it out and let know any of any bugs you find. Because so much of the core infrastructure is rewritten

Fix breakage in the "hide" option support patch: - The code which initialized the global variable "dapa" was lost in commit 81c203f2, therefore EBIOS access did not work properly. Fixed by removing the global variable completely and moving all bounce buffer handling into read_sector() and write_sector(). - write_sector() copied data to the bounce buffer, but then

Hello all. I've got this weird problem. If I try to boot a simple menu using syslinux's (v 3.09) pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 -files my Dell 1850 loses the keyboard / hangs straight after loading menu.c32. The machine has to be powered off completely. I did some research and got it working by using menu.c32 v3.09 and pxelinux.0 v3.07 -combo. It seems that from version 3.08 on something has

Hi, My problem is I have a particular system which has Linux (LFS) and Windows XP on one drive and Windows 10 on a second drive. I use extlinux to boot my systems and all three systems boot as expected, however in use I have found unsatisfactory interactions between the Windows XP and the Windows 10 systems. My question is: Is it possible on booting one of the Windows systems to hide

Hi, I have more than one pxe server in my network and I need to chain from one to the other. I used to do that with pxechain.com from old versions of syslinux. With the new version (6.02) I'm trying to achieve this with pxechn.c32. I copied the files ldlinux.c32, libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, pxechn.c32, pxelinux.0 and vesamenu.c32 to the tftp's root in both servers and add this in the menu:

The following boot entries: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr # or: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0,1 ntldr=/bootmgr # might result in the following error: # Insane primary (MBR) partition. Can't find myself on the drive I booted from. # when using chain.c32 v4.07. I have seen similar error reports when using chain.c32 v4.06 too. It works correctly with chain.c32 v4.05, even when

Grub Legacy stage2 will read the install_partition variable from memory address 0x8208. We only need to change the value at 0x820a to the correct partition number: -1: whole drive (default) 0-3: primary partitions 4-*: logical partitions Signed-off-by: Gert Hulselmans <gerth at zytor.com> --- com32/modules/chain.c | 13 ++++++++----- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5

Hello, I have compared the potentials of R and Stata about GLMM, analysing the dataset 'ohio' in the package 'faraway' (the same dataset is analysed with GEE in the book 'Extending the linear model with R' by Julian Faraway). Basically, I've tried the 2 commands 'glmmPQL' and 'glmer' of R and the command 'xtmelogit' of Stata. If I'm not

Sorry for the delay, we were too busy drinking and playing with explosives yesterday. :) Here are some tests. We did one on a similar machine and it worked. We deleted the configuration file, obviously. # Dell OptiPlex GX620 ISOLINUX 5.11 5.11-pre7 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 00000115 isolinux: Image checksum error,
