...Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2014 19:30:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] efi: Tag __syslinux_adv* with __export commit 415d571 ("adv: Remove double defintion") introduced a regression for the EFI boot loader. The commit is correct, but should have tagged the __syslinux_adv_ptr and __syslinux_adv_size data objects in the EFI core as __export. This change is required because symbols in the EFI code are not global by default, and so, when ldlinux.{e32,e64} tries to bind to the adv symbols it fails. The following demonstrates the ELF symbol changes, Before: 659: 0000000...

Hi all, wasnt sure whether this was the best place to put this information; but something seems to have gone 'backwards' in the later pre-releases of 6.03 regarding network booting. below are results of me testing - i did each a few times to make sure they are valid results. hope it helps identify something that's gone awry ? so far, 6.03 pre11 and pre13 (excluding efi32) seem most

So last week I was wondering if XFS was still working -- even with its last on-disk structure changes -- and it _suprisingly_ worked as expected. Right, now I can finally get rid of GRUB and use Syslinux to boot my Linux on EFI from a rootfs with xfs. Shit, I have two partitions (the first one being the required ESP) so there is no way to access the other partitions since because Syslinux does not
