Okay, let's hope *fourth* time is a charm... Changes in 3.06: * Fix typo that caused the ramdisk to load in the wrong place. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex objects, e.g. a kernel and its initrd/initramfs in pieces, and have the API core reorganize memory for booting. (A library API for this function will be introduced in a later version.) * The initrd= option now supports multiple filenames separated by commas. This is mostly useful for initramfs, which can be composed of multiple separate cpio or cpio.gz archives. (Note: all files except the last one are zero-padded to a 4K page boundary. This should not affect initramfs.) * EXTLINUX: Fix API function 000Ah (get derivative-specific info). * libcom32/ethersel: Support PCI Config Mechanism #2 on machines still infested with that hideous old hack. * SYSLINUX: Fix directory-parsing bug. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.06 Entered-date: 2005-01-10 Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or Linux. It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32" modules, including a significant subset of the standard C library. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
