[syslinux] using menu.c32 from ISOLINUX to display two menu....
Hey Guys, I am trying to use the simple menu system to provide menus on my boot CDs. For testing, I have the following entry in my isolinux.cfg file: label linuxmenu kernel menu.c32 append menu32.cfg The option work as it should. I am trying to display two sets of menus. At the bottom of the menu32.cfg I have the following: label 64 menu label Press enter here for ^64bit installs kernel menu.c32 append /isolinux/menu64.cfg This entry does not work. Neither does "kernel /isolinux/menu.c32" and/or "append menu64.cfg" However, on the boot command line I can type "menu.c32 menu64.cfg" and the second menu will be displayed. What is the correct way to have menu.c32 to display two sets of menus from a boot CD? Thanks for any help. Keith

Make sure that: a) All your files (isolinux.bin, *.c32) all come from the same version of syslinux, and b) You're trying at least version 3.20. -hpa
