[syslinux] Memdisk in Release 3.82 conflicts with a IntelBIOSupdate Image

[Sean Lv]

Thank you Shao

I have no Linux env to compile the newest snapshot to C32 format. Instead, I
downloaded the 3.83pre11 from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/syslinux-3.83-pr
e11.zip and replaced the files on my PXE server.

Unluckily, it didn't work.

I suspect it is not due to memdisk. I tried to use a combination of
pxelinux.0(in 3.73) and memdisk(in 3.82), it did work! I think the pxelinux.
0 in 3.82 allocate different or more address in RAM, comparing with the one
in 3.73, which conflicts with RAM access of Intel BIOS update image. Just a
guess, I am not good at address space in RAM. :(

  
 
 
 
Thanks

Good day Sean,

Could you be interested in trying a MEMDISK from Syslinux 3.83-pre11?
You could 'git clone' it or download a snapshot of the source from:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=snapshot;h=08d95ca
91f87a0c8ec452bb17e837e845738d530

There was a bit of work done with MEMDISK between 3.82 and 3.83-pre11.
Let us know.
