Syslinux - Mar 2018 - Question about hdt and UEFI

Hello,


i am trying to use hdt with an UEFI install.  It does  not start and freeze.

Does someone know if it is supposed to work ?

Btw i have enough machines here to do real QA :)

Personally, I have never tried.  The symptoms would seem to indicate
it's trying to execute some BIOS code and isn't ready for EFI (yet).

Erwan, any insight/thoughts?

If I remember correct HDT is a .C32 executable and not .EFI, so no it will
not work.
