From 9f3c69ee08979930bd775d96a037335b9d39fba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nl6720 <nl6720@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2020 19:13:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Warn about Syslinux's reboot.c32 and poweroff.c32 requiring APM configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg: APM is old and some motherboard firmwares have removed support for it. reboot.c32 and poweroff.c32 will not work on such firmwares. Add a help text to "Reboot" and "Power Off" boot menu entries that warns about requiring APM. --- configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg b/configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg index e85d8e14..34b6c5bc 100644 --- a/configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg +++ b/configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg @@ -19,9 +19,17 @@ COM32 boot/syslinux/hdt.c32 APPEND modules_alias=boot/syslinux/hdt/modalias.gz pciids=boot/syslinux/hdt/pciids.gz LABEL reboot +TEXT HELP +Reboot computer. +The computer's firmware must support APM. +ENDTEXT MENU LABEL Reboot COM32 boot/syslinux/reboot.c32 LABEL poweroff +TEXT HELP +Power off computer. +The computer's firmware must support APM. +ENDTEXT MENU LABEL Power Off COM32 boot/syslinux/poweroff.c32 -- GitLab
