similar to: COM32 Implementation Of GFXBoot

I understand the reasoning behind not integrating the dirty gfxboot patch into isolinux and pxelinux, but with many of the major distributions implementing gfxboot, it would be nice for a seamless boot interface across syslinux, isolinux and pxelinux so that the same menu file, look and feel, can be used to boot from the hard drive, USB thumb drive, floppy, or PXE. With isolinux being the primary

Ok, here is the first try to turn the gfxboot wrapper into a com32 module. I had to extend the interface to the gfxboot core a bit to get it working. So it works only with latest gfxboot from git://gitorious.org/gfxboot/gfxboot.git Steffen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If the file size wasn't a multiple of 64KB, we could overwrite the next entry in the malloc arena so reading the initramfs would fail.

Hello, I think I found another problem with gfxboot, and I think it is completely unrelated to the 'packed archive' issue. Again I tried using gfxboot with the Ubuntu gfxboot archive, this time with EFI64, using a real EFI-capable machine. I first verified that everything else actually works by commenting out 'ui gfxboot bootlogo' and got a working menu. Uncommented the line

Good afternoon Sebastian, I am working on upgrading the Ubuntu Syslinux package. It is currently not in sync with the Debian version, partially because of merge conflicts with the Gfxboot patches. Cf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/270822 https://merges.ubuntu.com/s/syslinux/REPORT I was wondering where your Gfxboot version comes from. I know both Suse and

While playing with the current master of Syslinux, I figured out two bugs I'd like to share with you. 1- Missing menu entires If you consider a file with the following entries, only the first item appears label mga32 kernel anything label mga64 kernel anything Looks like the number at the end of the label is giving some headaches to gfxboot. If I do rename this two entries by

The COM API provides a function to read from disk (int 22h, AX=07h) which needs a destination buffer aligned on a 512 byte boundary. gfxboot uses this function but doesn't ensure its data buffer is properly aligned. This leads to failures on a few machines (HP Pavillion dv5): gfxboot: isolinux: Disk error 09, AX = 424F, drive FE https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48814 has a bit more

Hello all, i announce you the gfxboot COMBOOT module which is written in assembler. Since i didn't find as much spare time as i have hoped last weekend it is far from complete. Nevertheless the module is able to interact with the bincode ([1] and [2]) in the bootlogo cpio archive from the openSUSE 10.2 mini cd. So far it is able to call the bincode gfxboot code and setup some menu entries.

Hello, I am currently trying to get the gfxboot archive from Ubuntu 12.04 working with gfxboot.c32 under BIOS, using ISOLINUX 6. AFAIK, the Ubuntu patches have been added in 4.03, and in fact it works with the official 4.05 release, but not with 5.10 or 6.01-pre5. I can tell that the menu is actually working, you just don't see it. If you navigate it "blind", the correct

Ubuntu CDs use multiple configuration files and the include directive as well as gfxboot, so it's useful for gfxboot to support these.

From: Jorge D Cisneros <jorge.cisneros at hp.com> Problem: The actual code only check for entries with kernel or linux, so this example will not work, this patch is to add support to gfxboot to detect the entry COM32 and use any module, in this case the module is chain.c32 Version: Syslinux 4.04 Example: UI gfxboot.c32 LABEL boot_hd0 MENU LABEL Boot from first hard drive COM32 chain.c32
