similar to: [RFC][PATCH] Gfxboot COMBOOT module

This is the latest version of the gfxboot module. It's supposed to work on all Syslinux derivatives.

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

The gfxboot COM module currently ignores the DEFAULT entry set in syslinux config file and always default to 0 instead. This patch parses DEFAULT entries in the config file and set the default entry accordingly.

Due to limitations of equipment, I have need of using the isolinux boot loader with .iso files generated by roxio. After trying (and of course failing) with an off the shelf version of isolinux, I grabbed the source for isolinux (syslinux 2.11 package) and started looking. It took a few hours to orient myself, but I ended up doing the modification below to isolinux.asm. I then had to write

Hello List, I have below a patch (against Syslinux-1.62), which adds a pseudo-kernel 'swap' which swaps device numbers of the boot device and the first harddisk. It was made for a system equipped with a DiskOnChip (www.msys.com) device which 'steals' the device# of teh first harddisk, This patch is used to enable the syslinux on the DoC to continue booting from the harddisk as if

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...

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

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.

What?s the status of the Google Summer of Code?COM32 module implementation of GFXBoot?project? From what has been communicated to me, things have not gone as planned, and it?s currently in limbo.

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
