similar to: [PATCH 1/3] Fix loading of *.lkrn images from gPXE

Hi, in syslinux-386, I think I've found a problem in com32/lib/syslinux/load_linux.c that leads to cmdline being truncated unnecessarily when e.g. linux.c32 is used. The patch below fixes the problem for me. But I don't know, whether the patch is safe in all cases. I tried to reproduce the logic found in runkernel.inc, but I might have missed something. So, feel free to tell me

I've begun tinkering with syslinux v3 and have uncovered an anomoly with the DISPLAY file when called by pxelinux.0. If I have: DISPLAY boot.msg With an "^Xsplash.lss\n" in the file boot.msg (exactly: 18 73 70 6C 61 73 68 2E 6C 73 73 0A) file, it will fail to load the rle image. And produce some goofy results in the tftpd log: Jun 5 06:27:06 pxe in.tftpd[24649]: RRQ from

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

(Tested using a Linux bzImage, with and without an initrd.) Per shuffle_and_boot documentation, %ecx must contain the descriptor list byte length, but it's set with such list end address instead.

Hi, I'm booting an qemu VM from a virtual disk. In the success case the virtual console shows something like this: SYSLINUX 4.05 0x54f93f16 Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H.

Hello, I'm having a challenge with increasing vmalloc memory beyond 512M using pxelinux.0 to boot. This config works fine: --- # Configuration file # linux-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 DEFAULT linux LABEL linux kernel kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 append initrd=initrds/bladeinitrd-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6.img enforcing=0 vmalloc=512M --- If I increase vmalloc to 513M, I get errors

This patch fixes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX when using the kernel mem= option with a value greater than the effective memory on the system. At present, in this condition the kernel doesn't boot correctly. The default Linux behaviour (verified on 2.4.22) is to ignore this option if the BIOS reports less memory than the value manually specified. This patch force the same behaviour for ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX.

Hi, I added support in pxelinux for SDI (Wndows XP embedded images) files a few time ago for specific needs. It works well (at least for me atm) and I think I can now submit it to this list. I get a very good improvement in speed over the traditional way of loading SDI images. * Links : The 'diff -urN' patch for syslinux-2.11 (documentation included) :

Well, with this simple patch I'm able to load initrd from a different disk. It's not finished, it's just to ask you if I'm going in the right direction... I have also some suggestion/question: - many boot sector I saw use [bp+xx] addressing to gain some bytes. Why don't you use such method? - had syslinux been tested with usb floppy? You test dl however using usb floppy dl ==

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 Peter, The attached patch contains three small (although 2 of them are fundamental :) fixes for pxelinux 1. Alignment error when more than one initramfs are loaded using initrd - the alignment of the last disk is discarded in calculations but is ALWAYS present when the loading procedure is called. As a result - the second image (cpio) is not recognized. 2. On some platforms

I'm trying to build a bootable CD for an Advantech PCM-4153 board (based on an AMD Geode LX800) that will allow to boot from USB CD-ROM drive. I've created an ISO that will load ISOLINUX (3.51) and appears to load the kernel and initrd images, but reboots the system when it tries to run the kernel. When I use either isolinux.bin and isolinux-debug.bin, the last messages I see on screen
