From: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> COMBOOT API: Add calls for directory functions; Implement most only for FAT (SYSLINUX). Uses INT 22h AX= 001Fh, 0020h, 0021h and 0022h to prepare for the COM32 C functions getcwd(), opendir(), readdir(), and closedir(), respectively. INT22h, AX=001Fh will return a valid value for all variants. INT22h, AX= 0020h, 0021h, and 0022h are only

Hi, We are using pxelinux at my company to test our product. And there are limitations that we have hit in the past w.r.t. the max length of a path, or the max length of a module name (in mboot.c / mboot.c32). We've used workarounds in the past, and reorganized the directory structure, but we face that problem again. Out of the 128 / FILENAME_MAX chars that can be used, 110 - 120 go to the

Hi. I've ever wondered how nuch timeis left to timeout while waiting at the boot prompt, so I've writen this small patch to show it. This add a configuration command 'showtimeout'. If you like the patch I could improve it (for example to show the timeout in decimal because now it uses the writehex functions) Regards. -- ______ ________ / / \/ /___ ) I N T E G

I've been using syslinux on my own Linux recovery CDs for almost a year now, and in that time I've found it useful to be able to automatically load a 64-bit-capable kernel if the CPU supports it. I'd like to share my efforts and submit this patch for syslinux-3.31. It adds a new config file keyword, 'default64', which overrides the default image if a 64-bit CPU is detected.

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 ==
