Syslinux 3.82 is a bug fix release for 3.81. Changes in 3.82: * isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition. * ISOLINUX: deal with systems which return from INT 13h with interrupts disabled. * Do not invoke the idle handler during large file loads. * Simple menu: make ONTIMEOUT work with MENU HIDDEN. * PXELINUX: handle TFTP servers which have extra NULs at the end of an OACK packet. Changes in 3.81: * Shuffler: fix bug in real-mode entry. This affected a number of modules, probably in relatively unimportant ways, but it completely broke linux.c32. * Improved performance. * Attempt to halt the processor while idle. This can cause bad reponsiveness when using a serial console especially for automated input; if that ends up being a problem, use the new "NOHALT 1" configuration command. * linux.c32 now suppresses all messages if the "quiet" flag is specified. * isohybrid: add a variety of options, and a help message. * ISOLINUX: fix booting in hybrid mode when CBIOS is used. This unfortunately means that the isohybrid handoff protocol has changed, so the isohybrid utility must version-match isolinux.bin. * Drop support for ACPI 3 extended memory flags. * Menu system: don't set the autocr flag on the serial console. * altmbr: fix handling of logical partitions. * altmbr: cap at 439 bytes so the partition select byte isn't part of the file. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.82 Entered-date: 2009-06-09 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. This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network files via other protocols than TFTP.
