SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7 - RC status
Hi all,

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided
to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a
simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release.

Please test them out and let me know how they do.

I have just tested 3.55-pre4 and 3.60-pre7 both in QEMU and
real hardware.

Both functions as expected in qemu but in the real hardware
here are the results:

3.60-pre7

memdisk: the system freezes after the messages:
Loading memdisk.....
Loading win98.img.............................ready.

The same happens when loading a linux kernel:
Loading vmlinuz.................
Loading initrd.gz........................................ready.

and freezes there.

3.55-pre4 passes both tests.

I get the same thing, both on a Compaq SR1010NX and under VMware.

3.60-pre6 works fine on the same setups.

Again, which filesystem (derivative)?

It seems pretty clear that 3.60-pre7 is broken, at least on isolinux.

Er, sorry - just the same, also ISOLINUX. I meant that to mean that my
configuration was the same as well.

OK, cool. That narrows it down a bit.
