* ifplop.c32: Detect if PLoP USB/CD INT13h hook is enabled/disabledGert Hulselmans2010-07-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New module which detects if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook. The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook: mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP' mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD' int 13h cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes ' jz plop_INT13h_active Signed-off-by: Gert Hulselmans <gerth@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H.

* chain: Allow booting the Syslinux partition with "fs"Shao Miller2010-06-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | We will now accept an "fs" option which instructs us to chain-load whatever partition we were booted from. Not useful for PXELINUX, for obvious reasons. Can be used in combination with a "file=" option, to boot something other than Syslinux. Signed-off-by: Shao Miller <shao.miller@yrdsb.edu.on.ca>

| | | | | | | | Windows RIS has been reported to make inappropriate use of data found in uninitialized memory. To avoid that, clear memory between a chainloaded boot sector or NBP and Free Base Memory. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* PXELINUX: handle OACK packets with extra NULs, cleaner TFTP errorsyslinux-3.82-pre5H. Peter Anvin2009-06-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are apparently TFTP servers in the field which will send OACK packets with extra NUL bytes appended at the end. If we find an OACK packet where the only thing left at some point during processing is NULs, then just consider the packet processed. We have reported all TFTP protocol errors as "tsize required", which is definitely not true anymore. Change error code to 0 (undefined) and the error string to "TFTP error". When this code gets converted to C we'll do better. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* simple menu: make ONTIMEOUT work with MENU HIDDENSergey Vlasov2009-06-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The command invoked when no keys were pressed for the specified time (ONTIMEOUT) may be different from the menu item initially selected when the menu is displayed (DEFAULT or MENU DEFAULT). Unfortunately, this did not work together with MENU HIDDEN (which is exactly the case when having a separate ONTIMEOUT command makes the most sense).

* altmbr: cap at 439 bytes so the partition select byte followsH. Peter Anvin2009-05-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Cap altmbr at 439 bytes, so that the partition select byte is not part of the file. This means that: a) updating the altmbr doesn't clobber the configuration; b) it is easier to simply concatenate the select byte to the file. This also matches gptmbr behavior. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
