similar to: [1/1] [gfxboot] align buffer used to read data from disk to a 512 byte boundary

This is the latest version of the gfxboot module. It's supposed to work on all Syslinux derivatives. I am not sure about the copyright notice and would appreciate any input. - Sebastian Index: syslinux-3.74-pre17-2-g2a9ddec/modules/Makefile =================================================================== --- syslinux-3.74-pre17-2-g2a9ddec.orig/modules/Makefile +++

So here it is. Ugly and far from acceptable shape but nonetheless it seems to work. Parts are borrowed from syslinux core and of course the gfxboot patch for syslinux 3.63.

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.

Hi, In Mandriva, we've been hit by a bug on specific machines where gfxboot would fail to load with: gfxboot: isolinux: Disk error 09, AX = 424F, drive FE A contributor lent us one such machine, and after some debugging, I realized that the buffer used by gfxboot to read data from the disk isn't aligned as the COM API mandates it (512 bytes boundary). Aligning it to a dword boundary

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

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

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

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

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
