Hi all, I've started writing a new mboot.c32 using the Syslinux native APIs; it is currently on the new-mboot branch of the Syslinux git repository. However, I don't have a huge number of things which use Multiboot set up to test, so I'd really appreciate it if you're a user of mboot.c32 to help me try this and report back positive or negative. I don't have the Solaris DHCP hack (-solaris option) implemented yet, although that will probably happen soon enough. I'm particularly interested in what this does to tboot. -hpa -- H.

New mboot.c32 seems to swallow the "noreboot" parameter and not pass it to the xen kernel, because i am getting reboots in spite of specifiying it. Works fine with oldmboot.c32. Tested with syslinux-3.80-pre1-6-gf2dc4e1. - Sebastian
