Syslinux - Oct 2016 - pxelinux.0 not fully booting in EFI 64 mode...not requesting ldlinux.e64 via TFTP...

I know this is an old thread, but since I ran into this problem and spun my
wheels on it for a few hours, I want to point out something subtle in this
thread I missed:


You must use the pre-compiled binaries in the tarball for this to work.


I downloaded the tarball for syslinux 6.03 release and also tried 6.04-pre
and 6.03-pre7, and did a make, and the resulting EFI binary still exhibited
the same TFTP issue. Using the EFI binary from the tarball solved the issue
for me. Not sure what's wrong with the compile...

What versions of gcc and binutils are you compiling with?

	-hpa

gcc-4.6.real (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22

Terry
