Changes in 3.52: * Handle capitalized F-key commands in the menu system. * Fix padding error when loading multiple ramdisks. * Workaround for VMware crashing when trying to print a message during early kernel boot (does not seem to work, consider deleting.) * chain.c32: add the ability to search for a specific MBR signature at runtime. * Fall back to the server identity option if the siaddr field in the DHCP header isn't set. This seems to match the behaviour of most PXE stacks. * mkdiskimage: give the generated disk image an MBR signature. * MEMDISK: Fix failures on some BIOSes. * Simple menu system: new "MENU HIDDEN" option to not display the menu unless the user presses a key. * Simple menu system: support MD5-encrypted passwords (modern Unix standard style, with "$1$" prefixes.) * pcitest.c32: now functions as a full "lspci". Thanks to Erwan Velu for this work. * MEMDISK: Make EDD actually work. * ISOLINUX: Fix for certain broken CD-ROM BIOSes which randomly corrupted register FS. * Simple menu system: fix memory overwrite bug that caused some systems to lock up or behave weirdly. * Fix building on 64-bit systems without a 32-bit libc installed. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.52 Entered-date: 2007-09-25 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.
