[syslinux] RE : SYSLINUX 2.07-pre6 and memdisk decompression problems
Hi, I tested this version and it works all right ! Thanks a lot for the quick fix. Do you still want to see the output in order to check everything is OK, or you don't need it ? --------------------- Sylvain Faivre EdifiXio - AIH Team +33 1 56 90 51 24 www.edifixio.com> -----Message d'origine----- > De : H.

I didn't really change anything that should have solved the problem... all I did was add debugging code! I don't need the output if it works now, but boy am I confused. I'll send you a separate memdisk binary in a separate email... do you think you could try it out for me? -hpa
