similar to: Returning to syslinux bootloader

It appears that the 3.74 completely broke the "keeppxe" directive -- not due to the command-line parser, but due to mishandling of the flag later. I consider this to be severe enough to do a short-cycle 3.75. As a result, I would like help with: a) are there any other bugs that snuck through? b) once I have a 3.75-pre1, I would really appreciate help testing it. The goal is to have

Hi, Working some more with the HDT command line interface, I noticed that the help (on a 25 line console) wraps around the screen. So the start of the help is missing. I was wondering if the help could not be better formatted for 80x25 in a future release (maybe listing options comma-seperated instead of newline seperated). -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/

Hi all, I have just released Syslinux 3.83. Special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time on this. It is somewhat of a meager release despite four months, as most of the work has gone into the future-work branches. -hpa Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. *

Hi, I was wondering what's the best standard file extension for zipped DOS disk images and ramdisks. I've been using the following standard: .zi kernels, memtest86, memdisk .igz .img.gz zipped floppy images and ramdisks I'd rather have a different extension for ramdisks, maybe .zim zipped floppy images .zrd zipped ramdisks Any ideas ? It would also be nice if syslinux

Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

I have updated syslinux in Parted Magic's test version to the 5.10 release. With 4.06 I booted plop like this: LINUX /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin Now it says /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin... ok Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument Other "extras" like IPXE, HDT, memtest86+, chntpw, Super Grub Disk, etc... all work with 5.10. Revert to 4.06 and plop works again. Is this a problem with syslinux

I think the Syslinux 5.00 branch is now at the point where I believe it it is feature complete and should be able to replace the main Syslinux branch. As such, it is important that we get wider testing, and especially that people let us know if and where it breaks. As of right now, there aren't any known bugs...

HDT 0.3.3 has just been released. This release aims at solving some CLI bugs and adds a some new memory mapping detection. I'd like to thanks Dag Wieers for reporting many CLI bugs & pierre for his work on the memory mapping. Here come the changelog: - A new memory mode Memory items can be reached via the new "memory>" mode. - Memory mapping display Pierre did integrate

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Could someone possibly clarify the relationship between these 2 programs? I am in a situation where I am developing for an embedded system, and I need to rewrite my CMOS before I actually boot into linux. ~ The only tools for manipulating my cmos happen to be DOS utilities, and I was hoping that I could script their use in autoexec.bat or somewhere

Hello, This is my first post to this list. After searching through the archives and google searches I could not find a solution for my memtest problem. In previous versions of pxelinux/gpxelinux (4.04 and 4.06) I could successfully start the memtest utility. But using pxelinux/gpxelinux versions 5.01 and 5.02 the memtest utility does not boot and I get an error message: boot: Loading

Hi, I once again have a problem with memdisk failing to boot a harddisk image to update my Thinkpad X200s firmware. I extracted the harddisk image from the eltorito type 4 ISO using the isobar tool. Then I added memdisk using this image as initrd to my grub, rebooted and it boots into PC DOS and then freezes (ctrl-alt-del still works to reboot the system). Inside Qemu however it works fine

Hi all ! Thanks for the very good support of Dell R320 hardware, perc H310 is well supported, BCM5720 seems to work correctly and performances are great. The only problem i have found is very strange. The FreeBSD bootloader take many times to load, 30sec-2minutes to boot the kernel and show the bootloader menu. After that, the system boots properly, at a normal speed. Is there any issue or

Hi, I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small lua.c32 wiki page at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32 With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2 functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function (run_command). Do we

Hi, I was looking for a way to have a submenu go back to the previous menu when you use Escape inside the submenu. Or to return back to a menu when you return from a com32 entry (eg. kbdmap, hdt or rosh). I had hoped something like this worked: ---- default bootlocal prompt 1 label menu menu hide kernel menu.c32 label bootlocal menu hide localboot -1 menu begin main menu

HDT 0.3.2 is out and mainly add a better disk management My previous work on disks was a little bit limited and incomplete.

On the cli side, we now have more commands : hdt> show disk This command will show a
