Syslinux 3.86 is a bug fix release. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.86: * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken in 3.85). * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information structure. * com32: set argv[0] in a com32 module. * core: add a workaround for a bug in Xen HVM older than version 3.3: disable halt on those platforms. * Fix problems where certain operations in com32 modules would cause the core to believe the system was idle. * MEMDISK: fix MBR detection when used with a DOSEMU header or an offset. * MEMDISK: generate the mBFT checksum correctly. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.86 Entered-date: 2010-04-01 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.
