I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre10. This fixes some pretty serious bugs, including the fact that, apparently, isohybrid didn't work at all in CBIOS mode. Unfortunately it means that the isohybrid handover protocol has changed, and so a new isolinux.bin isn't compatible with an old isohybrid or vice versa (as a result, the magic number has changed.) -hpa

I noticed an additional copyright mark ## Copyright 2009 Intel Corporation; author: H. Peter Anvin Do i have to request a new license for my re-narration in libisofs ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
Hi, while studying isohybrid.bin of 3.81-pre10 i wonder whether isohybrid 3.72 and 3.81 are crosswise compatible with the isolinux boot images of 3.72 and 3.81. I.e would this be technically ok in both isohybrid scripts ? if ($ibsig ne "\xf7\xe3\xef\x0d" && $ibsig ne "\xfb\xc0\x78\x70") { die ... } A "yes" would be very convenient to me: - libisofs would immediately be able to create an MBR for a 3.81 image. - the future libisofs MBR generator with user options would be able to support the older boot images of 3.72 to 3.80. Have a nice day :) Thomas
