Syslinux 3.84 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of PC-DOS. * MEMDISK: Add support for emulation of CD-ROM images; patch by Shao Miller. * MEMDISK: Comply with the Win9x "safe hook" standard, allowing a protected-mode driver. * MEMDISK: New "mBFT" ACPI table, by analogy with the iSCSI iBFT table. This allows detection from a protected-mode operating system without EDD support. * 32-bit version of the gfxboot loader (gfxboot.c32), so far experimental. This will replace gfxboot.com in the future. * vesamenu.c32: new MENU RESOLUTION directive to set a screen resolution other than 640x480. * chain.c32: add support for loading isolinux.bin. * chain.c32: make sure to always return to text mode. * eltorito.sys: DOS driver for generic CD-ROMs; by Gary Tong and Bart Lagerweij. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.84 Entered-date: 2009-12-18 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.
