Hi HPA et al, When moving from syslinux 4.06 to 5.01, I found serial output isn't working. The issue reproduces simply [1] and I get back serial output when I move back to syslinux 4.06. I also see a regression in booting locally with 'localboot 0' which give a generic 'failed' error message; likely reproducible there also. Let me know if you need more information and thanks, Daniel --- [1] serial 1 115200 prompt 1 timeout 100 default local label local localboot 0 -- Daniel J Blueman Principal Software Engineer, 1degreenorth Pte Ltd

IBM Bladecenter serial over LAN) it became necessary to supply flow control options (like SERIAL 1 115200 0x13) to get any output. I never got the opportunity to narrow it down to the exact version, but you may want to try it until somebody knowledgeable responds. -- Regards, Feri.

Are you able to build Syslinux from the git repository? It would be helpful if you could test out the fix. If not, I do plan on releasing 5.10 fairly soon.> I also see a regression in booting locally with 'localboot 0' which > give a generic 'failed' error message; likely reproducible there > also.I'll take a look at this. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center

Let me know if you can't reproduce this. Thanks Matt, Daniel -- Daniel J Blueman Principal Software Engineer, 1degreenorth Pte Ltd

Or with one of the other variants? -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center
