Syslinux - Oct 2018 - EFI 64bit and Kernel 32 bit

Hello!


is it possible to boot a 32 Bit Kernel on 64 EFI firmware with Syslinux?

I copied "efi64/efi/syslinux.efi", all files inside 
"efi64/com32/modules" and the file "ldlinux.e64" to my boot
partition.
with this configuration I am able to boot a 64 bit kernel. but not 32bit 
Kernel.

does anyone knows how to do it?

Best Regards

In theory, booting 32-bit kernels from 64-bit EFI is supposed to be 
supported by "efi64/efi/syslinux.efi" since 2013Jun.

In practice:

_ there is no documentation in The Syslinux Project regarding the 
matter (other than the commit from Matt Fleming);

_ no one has reported success with this case (only failures);

_ the question has been asked in the past in this mailing list (and 
also by means of other official Syslinux channels), but Peter (hpa) has 
scarcely replied with inconsistent / confusing messages (or no reply at 
all).

I sincerely wished I had better news regarding this case.

Best Regards,
Ady.
