...UX (and also sometimes syslinux) for almost two decades. Syslinux has been an excellent piece of software - very good at the job it's been doing. That said, sadly, its development has stalled years ago, HPA and the team don't seem to be adding any commits. For your needs, have you tried rEFInd maybe? https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/ Instead of / in parallel to PXElinux, I've been using iPXE for a while (after someone's suggestion in this mailing list, years ago). Not sure if iPXE could possibly be used on a hard drive :-) If dual-booting Windows and Linux off a hard dr...

Greetings! If I understand everything correctly, the last release of syslinux supports UEFI, but it can't load another EFI application in this mode, so practically only linux kernel can be bootloaded. Unfortunately, I have a need to dualboot windows and linux with UEFI, and this holds me back from using this amazing piece of software. Have there since been any progress regarding this

hi guys I've one box where I just yesterday upgraded Centos. I wonder if that kernel upgrade process might somewhat troublesome. After that upgrade UEFI boot fails with: Failed to set MokListRT: Invalid Parameter Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed : Invalid Parameter Has anybody seen that? And maybe know to fix it? many thanks, L.

If you are initially booting in (U)EFI mode (into rEFInd, or some EFI shell or any other EFI boot loader or EFI boot manager), then generally speaking you are expected to boot in EFI mode. But some (U)EFI firmware _might_ be able to "automagically" boot some external media (e.g. USB flash drive) in CSM mode without having to set it in the f...

Hi all, I am getting Error #14 from grub version 0.97 when trying to boot for the first time into a newly installed partition with Scientific Linux 6.7 and need help resolving the error. The setup: MacPro with 2 HDs HD #1: ESP partition has rEFInd installed and running 2nd partition: Mac OSX 10.7.5 (lion) installed HD #2: 1st partition: Centos 6.8 (uses grub version 0.97) filesystem = ext4 2nd partition: Debian 8.7 (uses grub 2.0.2 beta). filesystem = ext4 3rd partition: Scientific Linu...

Different distros have different defaults. There's no actual right or wrong here. Pretty much anything you can think of can be made to work.

...developer have no time to update it. - compiling a project with already-built system libraries is faster than compile embedded libraries each time. I am not an syslinux/efi expert but for me it looks like syslinux can be perfectly fine using system gnu-efi library. For example in Linux Arch both refind and gummiboot use the system library and never had problems with it.

Last time I asked here about superblocks (which we were using in the first version of ThreadSanitizer instrumentation) Tobias Grosser has suggested to use RegionInfo: did you have a look at the RegionInfo pass? It currently detects some kind of refinded SESE regions. I use them in Polly and as far as I know the Intel OpenCL SDK also uses them in some way. It is not SEME, but it may either fit your needs or we may think about extending it. If you want to give it a try you can use: opt -view-regions-only file.ll It would be great...

I'm developing my own Linux-kernel OS (https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS) and I have been able to build a live ISO using IsoHybrid. Point is, it doesn't work on my MacBook Pro (Quad-core, 2.66GHz, 8GB), only on BIOS-based PCs. rEFInd show a new "Legacy OS" entry for the pendrive, but after some seconds it shows the "Not found Operating System -- Insert boot disk and press any key" message. After that, I've tried with making the IsoHybrid EFI capable. I've followed the instructions at http://www.sysl...

How the hell does it know that it is "Syslinux" ? The same file content does not cause that name if it is presented under the default name. Does EFI just guess
