[syslinux] ONTIMEOUT LOCALBOOT -1 and menu.c32 -

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Hi,

Thank you for the replies and discussion regarding booting local harddrive.

LOCALBOOT -1 seems to work fine for me.


 The problem is: 
 	This: 
		ontimeout local

Does not do the same as selecting the local or "Boot from harddrive" on the menu and pressing ENTER.

Is not ontimeout supposed to automatically select the label specified and do the same thing as selecting and pressing enter?



Best Regards
Harald Jensås

Hi,

I am having some problem with LOCALBOOT and menu.c32

This is my isolinux.cfg:
-------------------------------------------
default menu.c32
timeout 50
prompt 0
ontimeout local
menu title "TITLE"

label livecd
      menu default
      manu label "LiveCD"
      kernel gentoo
  	append initrd=initrd.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/ livecd.squashfs dokeymap  cdroot vga=791 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet

label local
      menu label "Boot from harddrive"
      LOCALBOOT -1

-------------------------------------------

Now if I let it timeout, it just reloads the menu and starts the countdown over again.

By choosing "Boot from harddrive" on the menu the systems boots from the harddrive.

I also tried with ontimeout LOCALBOOT -1 but this give me the same result.
Also LOCALBOOT 0 and LOCALBOOT 0x80 give me the same result, the menu just reloads and the timeout countdown starts all over again.



Anyone who can see what I am doing wrong?


Mvh
