Robert, are you working with the upstream devs to get our changes merged? (In reply to comment #1) > Robert, are you working with the upstream devs to get our changes merged? yes, I'm working on it. Robert, we moved this to 3.4 M1. Okay? Also, can you explain the work involved for Sakib? Note that this is an update to syslinux_6.04-pre3 that we should do in M1. William wants to work on this and will spend some time in the next month on it. Looking at the email thread from the Syslinux upstream, back in time, they did not accept these patches (see the emails with subject "linux/syslinux: support ext2/3/4 device" [1]. Back then, the upstream were suggesting to create a new e2fs/syslinux installer [2]. I am sending emails to the upstream to query the status regarding this change. I would like to understand what the current requirements the upstream have.

Moving to 5.2 M2. |
